About: I’ve grown up around dogs for as long as I can remember! I’ve had small dogs, medium dogs, and even large dogs! At one point, my family had 6 dogs in total… it was heaven. I would always help my mom wash all the dogs and feed them. Every night I rotated walking the dogs one on one so they had plenty of exercise My availability is open! Whenever you need a place for your furry friend to stay, I would be more than happy to have them while you’re away I keep my apartment well maintained so there isn’t anything for pets to get into while they are here, I also do daily walks for pets that need a little extra exercise. I have a car, so I can take your pet to a dog park as well while they are here!
About: What sets me apart is my lifetime of personal experience. I’ve cared for my own dog through every stage of her life, from her energetic puppy days to her quiet senior years.

I understand the unique needs of a dog's entire life and can provide a calm, loving environment for all ages. I’m currently not working, but I’m hoping to make this a full-time gig! That being said, you tell me a date and time, I’ll be there! I do not have a yard due to living in an apartment. However, the complex has accessibility to walking trails and a park! I’m also willing to drive your pet to a dog park or wherever! The apartment is on the first floor, so there’s no trouble if your dog has sore joints!

“We asked Amelia to drop in on our pup a couple times a day when we had to go out of town. She had a very gentle energy with my very timid dog. She sent pictures of Lola and kept me updated through the week. She's quick to respond to any questions and very dependable. It took a huge weight off my shoulders to know that Lola was being well cared for while we were gone. We trust her 100% with our home and furry family members, and will not hesitate to have her watch Lola again in the future.”
About: I am currently booking for 4th of July, & Labor Day. Plan ahead! I can’t do boarding I can be available for house sitting but it also depends on travel, because if I can’t get enough to travel and stay because I have dogs of my own, I would need to leave momentarily keep that in mind. I don’t mind staying but dogs need to come with and I have 3 1 of which is a dog aggressive dog, so I have to keep her separate from other dogs that are new to her. But all my other dogs are fine drop ins please be specific I am charging $15 for a meet and greet fee I will explain later, but I’m most willing to do any breed, just ask no aggressive dogs (with people) and if you back out during the stay or drop in I will charge an extra $100-200 depending on how many animals if you have more than a few animals expect it to be a little pricey. I love dogs and provide the best quality of care like they are my own. But I just want to cover all the basis before you book I am currently working as a part time rover sitter. So I may or may not have available times as of now I’ve just selected available so people can message me I take care of dogs like they are my own, I love them like they are mine, if I want my own dogs fed, let out etc, but I don’t expect someone to be there right at the time, and understand they have lives too. I give them lots of love and love cuddling with dogs and playing fetch, or something with them, I do the necessities potty if needed every 4-8 hours depends on the age of the dog too and the service
