Good at walking, great at playing
Pet care experience
I love dogs! I have been dog walking for friends and neighbors for a while now, and I made a profile because I am looking to expand my dog-walking/sitting schedule. I have experience with dog and house-sitting, both long and short term, and have worked with dogs that are very young and energetic, up to dogs who are old and calm but need some extra companionship. I am very energetic, I love going on long walks and if you are looking for someone to burn off some of your dog's energy I am definitely down to run or spend some extra time playing with your dog. Not a lot of experience with administering medication, but if given thorough instructions I would be ok with that as well.
Reviews
Any dog owner would be lucky to have Amy as their dog sitter! My fiancé and I have a rescue dog and only owned him for about 6months at the time. We'd never left him with anyone for longer than 3days before. Our dog can be aggressive with other dogs at times, and we were worried about how he would do without us for 2 weeks. Before we went on vacation, Amy was kind enough to come over and meet our dog before we left. We discussed our dog's routine and how he needed to be walked 3-4 times/day, etc. Any dog owner would be worried to leave them with someone else for any given amount of time, but Amy made us feel at ease. She instantly fell in love with our dog, and kept us updated throughout our vacation through text message on all the fun things they did on any given day. She messaged us everyday to let us know how our dog was doing. We would highly recommend amy as a dog sitter or dog walker, and will be going to Amy as our first choice sitter every time! 10 out of 10, would recommend to a friend!

Information Amy M. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, I just always ask if they have anything that sets them off emotionally or makes them tick. For example dogs I've watched before have not liked certain other breeds, or lose their mind when they see a squirrel. These are things I like to know in advanced.
A typical day
If they're ok with other dogs I love going to dog parks! If not we will still be doing a LOT of walking- I'm very outdoorsy and love a good long walk.
