I am a full-time pet sitter and dedicate the majority of my time to learning about animals and how to give them the best life. This includes obedience training, enrichment, lots of exercise, and lots of love ♥️

About Umber H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Additional safety information: • I try to dog proof my home as much as possible (ie: having round side tables instead of a sharp edged coffee table, keeping pups behind a gate when cooking foods that could be harmful for them, being able to lock/secure my garbage cans, having a high fenced and very secure backyard, etc. • Dogs are always supervised during playtime and when in the backyard. Additionally, I have cameras in the backyard so that I can keep watch on any pups that may need a longer amount of time to potty. The backyard fence also has motion sensor lights installed so that pups have a much easier time seeing when it’s dark out! • All meals and/or bones are given to each dog separately to ensure that no resource guarding occurs. I use playpens, crates, dog gates, different rooms, different floors, etc to give each pup their space and privacy while eating.

Information Umber H. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if they have any health conditions, allergies, and any particular behavioural issues. I would also love to know what their typical daily schedule is to make their stay as comfortable as possible!
A typical day
Parks and enclosed fields are very close by for walks/jogs. I have a fenced backyard as well! Games and activities at home include playing fetch, tug of war, hide and seek, find-the-treats, puzzle games, a stuffed Kong, going through commands with treats, etc

Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Umber. I am currently becoming a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KSA). By learning updated and current information on dog behaviour, dog body language, and training techniques, I’m able to give your pets more informed, quality care. I take in dogs from a maximum of 4-5 families at a time, so that your pet can get all the love and attention they normally would at home. I also offer complimentary meet and greets to make sure we’re a good fit and that your pup feels comfortable here! Please note that my daycare rate covers up to 8 hours. For longer stays (e.g., 8am–8pm), an extended care fee will apply, depending on the length of stay. I have over 15 years of experience taking care of animals. I have 1 miniature dachshund named Honeydew who is super sweet and great with all dogs. As a devoted pet parent myself, I completely understand the amount of responsibility that comes with looking after animals. I also understand how difficult it can be to leave your baby with a sitter, which is why I treat any animals that stay with me as my own and make their safety and well-being a top priority of mine. I live in a 3 story house with a fully fenced backyard. I have no children, no caged pets, and have a peaceful quiet home. I aim to make each stay like a vacation for your pets! Examples of activities can include long walks, playing fetch, tug of war, hide and seek, a stuffed Kong, bully sticks, snuffle mats, lick mats, etc. I will go above and beyond for your loved ones, follow your guidelines and provide exactly what is needed. Your pets will be welcomed and made part of our family while with me. Parks and enclosed fields are also nearby for walks and activity. Updates and pictures/videos of your pup can be sent to you either once daily, or every other day, depending on your preference. With my service you can have peace of mind knowing your baby is getting individualized care. **Note: If you’d like to book with me, I ask that your dog be on the kind, calm, gentle side. Overly aggressive or extremely hyper dogs do not match well with the anxiety free environment I try to provide. Hyperactivity and aggression issues can also pose a safety risk to Honey and other animals I am sitting. Thank you!
Reviews

We have boarded our dog with Umber twice and she is the best. We trust her with the care of our 12 year old pampered princess anytime again. Umber responds very fast to questions or updates or sends a picture or message even before you do. I would give her 10 stars if I could

Umber is amazingly patient with our reactive nervous girly! She’s patient and calm, and knows the most important ways to deal with reactive dogs like letting them come to you, not making eye contact until they’re ready, etc. By the end of the visit, Hannah was cuddled up on the couch with her. We are so incredibly grateful we found her.

Umber provided incredible care for my little August. It was last minute, but she made sure he was cared for down to his diet. I have never needed to use a sitter before and decided to give Rover a try, Umber made me feel safe to leave my little pup in her care anytime I need to and will definitely be returning next time I need a sitter. If I could rate her more stars I would and I highly recommend anyone to book with her. Thank you so much, Umber!

Frank had a great time and took to Umber right away.
