Experienced Dog Owner For Hire!!!

Pet care experience

Woof! Woof! ,* Sniff-butt, Sniff-butt* (that's "Greetings" in doggie language)!! I am a loving, yet firm "pack leader" willing to shower undivided attention to Furry Clients. I like to project positivity & calm energy. I have over 35 years' worth of ownership experience & am also a private trainer who follows PAWsitive conditioning. Breeds that I have owned: Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Husky, Westie, Labs, Kishu Ken & mixes. I also am an "Auntie" to Pit Bulls, Border Collies, Shepherd/Husky, IGGY, & Goldendoodles. Loves, cuddles, long walks (or short jaunts) & playtime are my specialties. I watch your pups like a hawk b/c your dog's safety is #1 (#2 is fun & enjoyment)! Furry guests are welcome everywhere including couch, bed (unless otherwise instructed), & enclosed deck. They will play w/ all kinds of toys, including interactive games for mental stimulation. I give daily pup reports via pics & videos on how your Fur Babies are doing throughout their stay. Upon request, I can give tips, observations, suggestions & feedback so you know what your dog is like being in a daycare/boarding situation.

Amy is awesome and I’m so glad she was available to watch our puppy Ryder! Whenever we are going somewhere, I always look to see if Amy is available because she is great! She always keeps us updated and I never have to worry about my pup while I’m away. She is super knowledgeable and absolutely loving towards our pets which is so great!

Marshmallow had a great time with Amy! She spent all day keeping him entertained and engaged. He played games, learned new tricks, and solved dog puzzles. Amy did a great job making him feel at home and in a fun environment.

Marshmallow had a great time with Amy! She has lots of games and activities for him and is a great teacher because Marsh knows lots of new tricks. He enjoys his time with Amy very much.

Amy was absolutely amazing! We had her dog sit Remi for us while my fiancé and I got married! She kept us updated the entire time and sent us such cute pictures of our pup. She had such great advice when it came to basic dog care and she was so loving and caring towards our pup! I am so so lucky that we found Amy and I am 100% going to rebook with Amy in the future! She is the best ever!

A typical day

Your Fur Babies will be staying at "Amy's BnB" (Bed 'n' Bark) for vacation time while you are on vacation! I live near a fully enclosed dog park & schoolyard for safe "off-leash" play & mingle (basically PAWty Time)! I have access to many trails for new smells galore! On rainy days, I can take them to Home Depot, Bass Pro Shop, or other pet-welcome stores! Playtime includes playing w/clean dog toys, fetch, tug, chase, interactive toys & possibly learning cute tricks! Cuddle time comes standard & includes rubs.
