“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
About: I have a special place in my heart for animals especially dogs. I have always had dogs that have grew up with me. I have 3 of my own - golden doodle/Nala, poodle/mylee, golden retriever/Molly. I love every breed. I have kept my friends and family’s dogs over night while they are out of town and they love to play with my dogs. My dogs are very pet friendly with other dogs. I enjoy taking them on the walking trails. I work as a CNA as needed. So I have a lot of time on my hands and I would love to have a side job and this I believe is perfect for me. I feed my dogs once a day around 5pm it helps keep them at a healthy weight. I give them treats when they come inside after they potty. I live out in the country so they have plenty of space to run. I will do whatever you need me to do with your pets you just tell me!

Emily M.
“Emily M is one of the most responsible people I know. Not only would I trust her with my pet I trust her with my child. One of the things that make Emily M so amazing is her way of anticipating a person's/pets needs. She goes out of her way to make people/pets more comfortable. To not pick Emily to watch after your pet is depriving them of a remarkable experience.”
