Full-time attentive cat & dog care!
Pet care experience
I’ve cared for cats and dogs all my life! I’m known as a cat whisperer and have cared for over a dozen cats between adoptions and fostering. I’ve watched all the Jackson Galaxy videos and know how to make a cat feel at home even when you’re away. I specialize in cat sitting, cat house visits and cat boarding, as well as dog walking. Before any visit, I research each pet based on temperament, age and special needs to understand how to tailor my care for them. I also love taking care of small dogs! My parents have a small Bichon Yorkie mix and I watch Stella when I’m at home. I also am a go-to dog walker / sitter for friends. I currently only will do dog walking and house visits, not dog boarding.
Reviews
Amy took amazing care of my cat! My cat is older and has some health issues and Amy was able to handle everything with no issues and made us feel comfortable. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Amy was super kind and thoughtful sending us photos of our cat baby throughout our trip. So thankful to have her and her husband look after our cat- they were super knowledgeable with cat behavior.
Amy was wonderful! Very responsive, kind, and caring with our dog. Would highly recommend her.
Amy has been amazing for boarding my cat, who has been showered with love ❤️
About Amy W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For cats, I understand that each cat has their own personality and needs time to trust new people. I’m very aware in my approach to cats and take the time to understand their needs and style.
Information Amy W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has special needs. I can administer oral medicine to cats and dogs. I can also do pickup / drop off as long as you live within 10 miles and are willing to pay for tolls.
A typical day
For the cats, I have an arsenal of wand, feather, and laser pointer toys and scratch posts. I’ll normally play with the cats when they’re most active during the day and night, give them as many cuddles and pets as they signal they want, and feed them according to schedule. I’m happy to keep your dogs entertained and as active as they’d like to be! I can take them to a nearby park, take them on walks, or play games inside the apartment. I can also reinforce good behavior and practice tricks and reward with treats or love. For cats, I would match their energy level / personality with our activities. I can engage them in playtime with their favorite toys, let them watch out my window or just let them cuddle me (or hide, as alot of cats might do).

Pet care is my full time job! I give my full attention to each pet and adjust my daily schedule according to the pet. I also live with my husband who loves cats and dogs as much as I I do and he contributes to playing, nurturing and loving each furry visitor.
