I live right on a nature trail!
Pet care experience
I currently volunteer for a dog rescue organization. I have several years of experience training dogs and know how to read dog's cues for aggression, anxiety, and fear. I love walking and training dogs. I won't fetch, but I'll play fetch for hours if your dog desires! I give treats minimally and praise maximally! I'm open to using whatever method you're used to for training your dog. I use a prong collar with my pooch on walks, and know how to properly adjust the fit so the collar sits comfortably on the dog's neck. I own my own home, and have plenty of leashes, collars, and toys to occupy your pooch and make them feel like they've won the dog lottery. I'm mostly available on weekends, and work during the week with some flexibility. I'm situated in Verona near the Westside of Madison!
Reviews
Very Responsive and Reliable. My dog is so well taken care of and often comes home with treats. Thank you Amy!
Amy was great! Great communication and just a lovely dog person in general. Would highly recommend!
Our dog's stay with Amy was excellent. She was reliable, friendly, and asked good questions about Sadie's care. She made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. We'll definitely use her again.
Amy was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable having he watch my two babies. I am such a worrier when it comes to my pups and I was totally at ease. She gave us updates and photos, for which I was so appreciate. I feel so fortunate to have found someone so amazing.

Information Amy W. would like to know about your pet
All dogs that stay with me must be crate trained. For your dog's safely, I require they be crated while I am gone. This is non-negotiable. Please understand that your dog has never stayed at my place before, and its nervous, and anxious, and not familiar with its surroundings, which could lead it to behave in a way that it doesn't alway act at home where its familiar. I prefer dogs who are well potty trained! I have access to several different sized crates, so you won't need to bring one, just bring their bed or crate matt or something that smells like home so they feel comfortable during their stay!
A typical day
I love to take structured walks with dogs, this means your dog is controlled on the walk. It's not a sniffing free-for-all, they do their business, then we practice walking nicely, sitting and waiting at corners and intersections, walking calmly on a leash, and then sniffing as much as they want!
