About Amy P.
Safety, trust & environment
I can only do drop-in visits rather than boarding because my resident dogs aren't so keen on other canines, if you catch my drift. Wouldn't be a good fit, so to speak.
Information Amy P. would like to know about your pet
I've cared for blind dogs, sight- and hearing-impaired dogs, dogs with significant mobility issues, diabetic dogs, and dogs with severe anxiety and those who experienced trauma. All of these require prior knowledge so that accommodations can be discussed and a plan put in place. We want to make sure they can have as much fun during visits as possible.
A typical day
Dogs really need to get their wiggles out and we could try fetch/"throw," hide and seek, tug of war, enrichment games (floating/bobbing for treats in plastic pool, etc) but generally walks around their neighborhood or at a park allows them to be stimulated via sights, sounds and smells that would help them better navigate the experience of being at home alone.

FULL-TIME SITTER OF 10 YEARS
Pet care experience
Just relocated to TX from Salt Lake City where I owned a very successful pet sitting business since 2011 and was the sole full-time pet sitter for it for over 10 years. I am conscientious, joyful, observant, and above all attuned to the language of animals (e.g., their behavior). One of my inner whys is getting to watch the pets I care for experience a sense of trust and safety and am fully invested in seeing they do. When family is away, it can be a vulnerable time but when pets can relax and have fun it feels like the world finally makes sense. Our pets deserve a happy, attentive sitter who worries as much about them as their family and gets joy from being in their presence, and that is 100% what I’m about.

Reviews
We absolutely love Amy and the care she gave our 4 kitties—we loved her so much we utilized her pet sitting services for 6+ years! She is responsible and timely and sends the most adorable videos of the fur babies. I never worried when our kitties were in her care! The only reason we can’t continue to use her pet sitting is because she moved to a different state! The pets she watches in her new state are in for a treat! I can’t say enough good things about Amy, 10/10, would definitely recommend her services!
Our family can always count on Amy, and our dogs and cats love her. We had peace of mind knowing she was caring for our crew when we had to be away from home. She also went above and beyond to help with things like bringing in mail and deliveries as well which we so appreciated. She was so caring of our fur family and our home! One of our dogs has special needs and is slow to trust and he loved her like no other. Amy is as responsible, kind and trustworthy as a person could be.
Amy has been pet sitting for us for almost 15 years, and at this point she truly feels like part of our family. She is caring, responsive, dependable, and genuinely loves our pets and our home. She goes above and beyond in every possible way. One time while we were out of the country, Amy was caring for our cats while our dogs were boarding. One of our dogs became sick, and Amy immediately stepped in — she picked her up, took her to the vet, brought her back to our home, and personally cared for her there until we returned. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. Because of Amy, I never worry about our pets or our home when we travel. That peace of mind is priceless. She spends real quality time with each pet, plays with them, brings her own toys (which our cats love even more than ours), and is incredibly thoughtful and creative with them. She also sends photo and video updates at every visit, which we always appreciate. Our pets absolutely adore her. One of our cats normally hides from everyone, yet with Amy he immediately comes out to be loved on. Animals truly trust her. Amy is a rare person and an extraordinary pet sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
