Highlights
Pet care experience
Ruff day? Let me take the lead!
I've had dogs my whole life, but really fell in love with them once I got my own as an adult. I've rescued & rehabilitated adult dogs, and brought up purebred pups from 7 weeks old. I've done therapy dog training, potty training, crate training, leash & command training with all sorts. Raising vs. rehabilitating are very different kinds of relationships! But both are so rewarding in their own way. Dogs are like kids in that they are always listening and learning. It's easy to teach them attentiveness and basic commands as long as you have patience and attentiveness of your own - also, like with kids, it helps to NOT be their parent, haha. I'm fully familiar/comfortable with a variety of medical issues and medication administration, both from my own dogs and from sitting for a friend's dog who had a lot of joint problems & surgeries. I've cared for dogs as small as 7lbs and as large as 110+lbs. I do have a soft spot for the big'uns. :)

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
To my eternal sorrow, I am not allowed to have dogs in my apartment. I can do drop-ins to spend time with your dog in your home while you're at work, take your dog for walks or play dates to the dog park, and am available for house/dog sitting if you'll be away.
Ratings and reviews
Amy was amazing with Bella! I had a work event in the evening and needed someone look after Bella for the evening. Amy was super sweet and caring and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Bella with her. She kept us updated throughout the evening, which we really appreciated, and it was clear that Bella really liked her and felt comfortable with her. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book with her again! 🐾❤️
Amy was wonderful with my dog, and I would highly recommend!
Once again, Amy was a reliable and accommodating support to us while we were away. You’d be a fool not to snag her as your pet sitter.
Amy was awesome and we would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for help!
Amy is fantastic- I know that Zoe is well taken care of and loved. Amy is great at communicating and sending updates with photos!
Amy is incredibly professional and extremely accommodating. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Amy!

Schedule
I'm in grad school, so other than class times (Monday afternoons and Thursday evenings September-November 2026) I'm free to structure my time more or less as I please. That means I can spend time with your furry friend morning, noon, or night!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsAmy can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- I'm comfortable with most styles of training, and am happy to do medication administration, PT, other special needs things. We may need to negotiate on the fee for more these kinds of additional requirements, but as long as we communicate on your pet's needs, I'm sure we'll be able to work it out.
