About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.

“Absolutely wonderful service! Amelia took great care of my babies and even got one of my cats to come out of hiding to interact with her on multiple occasions. I felt comfortable and stress-free being away from home. This was my first Rover experience and I will definitely use it over and over again! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND both Rover and Amelia.”

“Aleigha was incredible!!! Super nice and friendly and was so patient with my fur babies! One of my dogs is super timid and scared and sometimes doesn’t eat when I’m not around. Aleigha was wonderful enough to try hand feeding to get him to eat and it worked! If you’re looking for a pet sitter she’s the one you want!!”

“Ruben was amazing to work with. The health requirements for my animal are in flux as well as his state of health. Ruben had to deal with a pile of different medications to administer and I came home to a healthy happy pet! The pictures showed that the animals weren't skittish and actually were happy to see him. These are older cats, so they're pretty ornery. All around wonderful!”
