Highlights
Pet care experience
Former Vet Tech
I have been around animals since I was quite young. I raised and competitively showed horses my entire life. I had many jobs as a barn manager, taking care of horses and farm animals, chickens, goats, sheep, llamas, cows, cats, donkeys, mules, turkeys, pigs as well as all the farm dogs. I worked as an equine veterinary technician for 11 years. I’ve raised mastiff puppies for several years. My kids and I are becoming more involved with our local 4h group with our mini aussies. There’s not many animals I haven’t had the privilege of working with. I am a para educator at a local elementary school so I have my summers off and I am really excited to have that availability to work with animals.

Safety, trust & environment
I have the privilege of being home 24 seven which means if your pet stays with me I am home all the time. I lead a pretty active life and really enjoy hiking and going swimming at the river and lake, so your pet would have lots of outdoor time pending your approval.
Ratings and reviews
Booked because I was traveling international and needed a house sitter for my golden retriever and cat. Amy was the first to accept the offer. Set a date and time so she could meet my dog and get an idea of the house for sitting. She was a no-show for meeting my dog until I checked in. She was there in 10 minutes after the reminder. Day one of house sitting, she showed up on time. Took my dog for a 7 minute walk, hung out for about 30-minutes, then left. I had asked her to spend the night. She left the house unlocked when she bailed. Day 2, she didn't show up. My dog was left alone for 16-hours with no food, no walk, no people. I had to call my parents from the airport because Amy was unresponsive, and have them drive over an hour to pick up my dog. I also called Rover emergency line because I was getting on a plane to leave the country while my dog was abandoned. They promised a refund and apologized. Amy eventually responded that she had experienced her own emergency and was a no-show. By that time, my dog had been picked up, driven 50 miles away and fed. A "Hey, this emergency happened and I can't show up" would have been great. I get the feeling my dog just would have been left alone for a week had I not escalated. After Amy abandoned my pets, Rover issued a $275 refund out of $666 charged. Customer service was also unresponsive and I had to do a charge back on my card...the first time I've had to. Bad sitter, bad company.
Amy goes above and beyond every time she house sits for us. The fur babies are always calm and happy when we get home. Thank you for all you do while we are away!
Amy is great. I had a last minute request; she responded quickly and took the job without issue. While I was out of town she took care of my two high maintenance canines as well as my home. My return flight was delayed by a few hours but Amy was super helpful in that she was willing to stick around for as long as I needed her. I absolutely would hire her again.
Amazing as always! Our fur babies were calm and relaxed when we got home. Thank you!
Amy was the perfect dog sitter for our 3 pups- reliable, responsive and responsible. We came home and I could tell they were loved and well cared for. The pups didn’t really care that we had left. Amy was amazing and we plan to book with her again.
Amy was wonderful! She was attentive and made sure to give Bruno his medicine as scheduled. She sent photos and responded quickly to my inquiries. The house was immaculate when we returned home as well. Definitely recommend Amy.
