Highlights
Pet care experience
Large Fenced in Yard
I work from home full time on a flexible schedule, so I am able to engage with the pups throughout the day. I’ve also grown up with dogs throughout my life - poodles, Dobermans, hounds, and german shepherds. I now have a Staffordshire Terrier who is 8 years old. Large breeds do not scare me and I understand how to be gently dominant. I prefer treat-based training, but understand their can be other needs on occasion. However, I am firmly against shock collars and will not use them. The longest that I have boarded another dog was for six weeks - a Golden Retriever. I regularly board my Mom’s two dogs who are German Shepherds and my brother’s who is a pit mix. I genuinely enjoy both puppies and dogs and gain energy from them.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Amy is fabulous! She watched our dog for 2 weeks while we were out of the country and we didn’t have to worry about him at all! She sent us lots of pictures, videos, and updates and was very accommodating when we were scheduling his meet and greet and his stay. She has a large fenced in yard and our dog was super happy to be able to play outside so often. She has an awesome room just for the pets to stay in if she has to leave the house and our dog was just as comfortable there as he is at home. Our dog did not even want to get in the car to leave when I picked him up. And she even sent him home with 2 new toys! Definitely recommend and will for sure be using her again next time we need a pet sitter!!!

I work from home, so it is genuinely easy. I also have a large fenced in yard with a large deck, plants, and a coi pond which is nice for dogs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard and do prefer to crate larger animals at night. I also have a large guest bedroom for animals to relax in with their beds.

A typical day
We will go on one long walk daily for 30 minutes. Outside of that, we will play in the yard and I live directly across from the water, so we can go down to the beach. Dogs will sleep in their beds or crates at night in my spare room.
