About: Excited to be trying rover out! Brand new on this app and recently moved. My new home has a doggy door, fully fenced yard with an 8 foot privacy fence, porch/deck with plenty of shade, and a laundry room that has doors to close off from the other part of the house- with a doggy door straight to outside. I’m a life long dog lover and grew up with Golden Retrievers. As a child and teenager, I would envision living near the beach in Florida with a healthy and active lifestyle surrounded by dogs, so made it happen. My first job in high school was at a Veterinary Clinic in Hopewell, NJ. After high school I attended West Virginia University for two years. Being away at college made me miss my dogs too much, and I found class too boring to sit still through. In 2012 I came home from school and got a job at St.Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in North Branch, NJ. That was a life changing experience and gave me a soft spot for shelter dogs but most of all Pit Bulls and senior dogs. I also gained experience with training and behavior modification. During that time I adopted my soul dog Binx , an American Staffordshire Terrier, and my 20lb black cat, Mr.Ruger. After moving to Florida in 2013 I worked at Love My Dog Resort in St.Petersburg while fostering and volunteering for Passion4Pits rescue. In 2019 I began calling Volusia County home. I worked as a personal trainer and physical therapy aide while living in a condo. After moving into a house beachside in Ormond with a fully fenced yard in 2026, I am fulfilling my top passion- caring for animals! The best part about being a pet sitter is getting to borrow and experience all of the different breeds and personality quirks. From Chihuahuas to Rottweilers, to Pits and Poodles, I love ‘em all! I know pets are family (often better), and should be treated accordingly. I will treat your fur babies as if they’re her own, and probably give them a new nickname or make up a song about them during their stay. I am experienced with all demographics of dogs (even Hurricane Katrina survivors) and comfortable with all breeds and personalities. I boards dogs in my home, offers in home pet sitting, drop in’s for walks (or runs!) and companionship. Some of pictures I have posted were at my previous address. No more dirt in my yard, yay! I am on disability for PTSD, and the dogs have always helped me tremendously. Caring for them is my full time job. We get up around 7am, we eat around 9am, we hang out outside in the shade, inside on the couch, whatever they feel like doing! They often play and/or sunbathe while I clean! I try to keep their schedule and routine as close to what it is at home. I keep them as comfy as possible to help them feel loved and secure! I only crate dogs if an owner instructs me to and when, or if they need to be separated to feed, occasionally I will need to use a large crate. They are not normally crated otherwise. Please, no dog aggressive dogs. I would much rather your dog dislike people and bite me than bite someone else’s dog. If you aren’t comfortable taking your dog to a dog park due to their behavior, this won’t be a good fit. My two dogs are amazing hosts and love doing this! Because I own two, I only board 1-4 other dogs at a time. If it is 4 dogs, it’s a family of 4, or two families of two. I love to give them plenty of attention and one on one time.

“Amber was a rockstar. We are always nervous to leave our senior chiweenie with anyone new because he is very skiddish.

We appreciate the constant communication and honesty Amber provided about Franklin during his stay. We will 100% book Amber again to care for our buddy.”
