Pet care experience

I’m Amy, the cool auntie that your dog needs in their life! I am home all day and absolutely LOVE dogs! From snuggling to playing fetch to teaching them new tricks, I enjoy spending each day with new furry friends. We have two terrier mixes who are part of our family — they are not just pets. Dogs’ fun-loving personalities, joy and unconditional love are what inspire me to be a dog sitter! My wife and I have a spacious house with a big forest-like backyard that’s fully fenced. We are about 10 minutes from Portland and close to Gabriel Park, Tryon Creek and several other great forested areas. Our home is two-level in a quiet residential area. We have three bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a den, and dogs are free to make themselves at home! When I’m not playing with dogs, I love to do crafts with my wife, who is an immigration attorney (she’s a bit too busy to get all up in the dog sitting business but she loves dogs and is excited to cuddle some extra pets at night!). We paint or color in those ridiculous adult coloring books. We also love hiking, camping and exploring the great outdoors in our beautiful corner of the country. I also love finding furniture at Goodwill and restoring or repurposing it! I have over 12 years experience caring for dogs, both in my home and pet sitting outside my home. I know how stressful it can be be to organize everything for a big vacation or trip out of town and worry about who will take care of your dog! I’m flexible, laid-back and will make sure that at my house (or yours), your dog will feel loved and completely at home! I do drop-ins, walks and trips to dog parks. In addition, I can take dogs in my home on a daily basis and over nights. If you prefer your pets to be in their own home while you're away on vacation, I do house sitting as well. Just let me know your needs, and I will work with you! I am reliable, humorous and authentic. And, like a good old dog, I’m young at heart! I would love the opportunity to be a trusted auntie for your dog when you’re away or busy!

Annie had a great time and was happy to see Amy when she went for a second time. She enjoyed the cuddles and nonstop play. Amy made us feel very comfortable with our choice since it was the first time that we left her for so long.

Amy was great with Toby. She kept me up to date on what Toby was up to. She sent a lot of photos, which I appreciated. She was also very easy to communicate with. A bonus for Toby was a great backyard and other dogs to play with. We would definitely go to her again.

My two labs had a great time with Amy. She was very flexible when I needed to change the dates, and also very responsive, letting me know how the dogs were doing and sending pictures. They were there on some really hot days, but she had wading pools out and a hose mister. My dogs actually came home cleaner than when I had left them! My older, lazier dog even lost some weight. Drop-off and pick-up is really easy and she manages it so that the meeting with other dogs is as calm as possible. I needed her help while our house was painted, but it was such a good experience that I think I'll take my dogs back now and then--they definitely had a great time.

On my dog's first visit to Amy's house, she was kind, attentive, and kept us updated. We received photos and videos--and then at the end of the day, we received a very happy and tired dog. We will absolutely ask Amy to watch our dog again.

Information Amy S. would like to know about your pet

We have two dogs and two cats, so I want to know how they do around other animals! I also want to know what activities they love, their favorite treats, whether they have any anxiety or fears, and how I can make them feel most at home!

A typical day

We will play fetch in our big backyard, go for hikes (if your dog enjoys it!), take a few walks around our quiet neighborhood, and visit parks! I love to play and chase and cuddle in the backyard and in the house! My top priority is making sure every dog in my care feels unconditional love.
