Full-time, high ratings, re clients
Pet care experience
I am a full-time pet sitter/ walker with many repeat clients and highest ratings. I am available for your bookings currently. Maybe a walk is what your dog(s) needs (or what you need to not be doing after a long day) I am strong and understand animal behavior. I don't even mind picking up the #2,lol. We can play and train a little as we visit. Purrhaps ....you need someone you can depend on to feed/water your cat, maybe brush or play with them while you are away. I can find your shy kitty under the couch and lie there singing or talking to her to keep her company. I hope to be the favorite new sitter for your pets on your next holiday or get away. Cats and friendly dogs may bypass meet and greet if you want, use a hideakey or give me the code if you like. I love taking care of kitties. I enjoy reading to them and giving them the best care while you are away and can't be waving their wand toy or scratching their ears yourself. I really love dogs too, last summer we adopted a medium mix of 14 breeds and she is showing us some new challenges with dogs. (You always get the dog you need and challenges help you grow) If it is a drop in at your home perhaps we go for a nice long walk or play some in your yard. I follow your wishes if you don't want me to walk them we can stay in the yard. I love animals so they will get full attention and my vast knowledge. I took a behavior seminar with Dr Nicholas Dodman. I have read extensively about animal behavior and training and listen to 3 pet podcasts weekly. Iam just now starting formal schooling to be a trainer. I really enjoy what I do. I love animals you can trust I will put them first keep them safe and happy. I took a massage course and know about toxins and first aid as well as nutrition and have relaxation cds. I have a deaf client, seizure client and a blind client, all are welcome, young, old and in-between! What I am looking for is someone who travels for work every month or 2, travels for fun with long weekends up to 5 nights or more about every month or two and maybe a week or 14 days up to 4 times a year. I can handle bunny chasers, squirrel barkers or food aggression, ball obsessed, toy destroyers and other minor behaviors ( everyone has a problem or 3). I can handle shy, friendly, herding cats, latching on cats or hiding cats, kittencats yes please! I have so many great clients now but would love to add more. Please do consider drop ins or walks if you want. I hope to be your pets new favorite sitter/walker!!!!
Reviews
Amy-Marie was so good with our kitty with larangeal paralysis. She was familiar with the diagnosis and care associated with his presentation, gave him his daily doses of medicine, and monitored his breathing to help ease our anxieties. I'm so glad to have found such a support for our kitty. We were able to rest easy knowing he was in good hands.
From the moment Amy-Marie met our cats we knew they were in good hands for our long trip! She clearly spent the time to get to know their individual personalities and play styles and we felt so at ease leaving them in her care!
Amy-Marie is a wonderful pet sitter! She is kind and considerate to our cats, and treats them like her own. We’ve worked with her a couple times now and every time she’s amazing.
This was our second time using Amy’s services and our cat loves her!

This will depend on the needs of the pet and instructions of owner. Typically I approach the house/ condo, gather any mail or packages,take in concierge trash containers, paper, unlock house and greet animal. If they aren't around I will go looking to be sure they are safe/healthy, then snap a photo of the shy ones and leave them be or sing, talk and sit near them for companionship. If pet is friendly we we either go outside so dogs can relieve themselves or I give kitty scratches and pets and play. I try to observe anything that may be wrong. Recently I stopped by a kitties place and her ears were bothering her, I checked in with mom and cleaned them up for her. We play or do the kitty chores(clean water, litter) dogs I usually feed about 5 minutes before I leave and then another trip for potty. It really varies depending on needs. I may massage an older dog, give meds to cat, I sometimes leave a clock radio playing, rotate lights, adjust shades, water plants /garden during longer trips. I double check locks on all doors(or make sure garage door doesn't go back up) when I leave
Information Amy-Marie R. would like to know about your pet
Whatever you think I need to know, any specific needs or concerns. Meds at 8am, bad back, bunny chasing, food aggressive, hides in kitchen cabinets,not allowed on counter, climbs legs. I think you know what I mean.I appreciate when owners take a little time thinking about that and write me a note or include a message that could be helpful for your pet. We both want to get them the best care!
A typical day
I can really walk anywhere, for special walks I prefer places I know. Metzger farms allows you to see all around, Lowell has shade for miles on east side in morning, dogs love to feel wild around the reservoir trail behind the Broomfield senior center. I have taken friendly dogs to Jax for mental social time. I have taken dogs to Good times for a paw bender. If we stay in the yard that's fun with a toy or game to play. KITTIES:it depends on the cat, some love to have laptime for 20 minutes then I rush around for chores, others want to give you a tour pointing out sights along the way while they dart in front of you, of course the very special case of shy pets, they need a little extra treats or a quiet tone and distance.

Availability
I generally am up early about 5:30am ready to get in a few drop in visits /walks before breakfast. I also am studying dog training and sometimes have a training client in morning. I recently took on pet sitting/walking as my full time career, though I have been doing this part time for nearly a decade. I am available at designated times or at a general consistent section of the day. If you find out your working late or are invited to a happy hour, reach out. If I have access to your pets, I will probably be able to cover, and provide the care they want! I also know how busy life gets and am available to do yard poop patrol or clean your litter box and refill it (this is a great gift service for families with expectant mothers or new babies and busy schedules ask me about booking) I have chicken and bird experience, can feed and mist reptiles but must have secured cage so no one escapes (seen this on every TV show, lol)
