About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. My mom previously co-founded a dog rescue in New Hampshire, and I grew up helping with foster dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments.

Whether your dog is big, small, young, or senior, I can confidently provide safe, attentive care. My experience includes walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and of course lots of love and attention.

I’m available to do morning, afternoon, or evening drop in visits and walks. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Safety, structure, and communication are my top priorities. I use secure leashing practices, remain attentive on walks, and follow all feeding and care instructions precisely. I respect your home and ensure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for every visit!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wake Forest
Amber was absolutely amazing with Archer! From the start, it was clear that she’s experienced, dependable, and truly knows what she’s doing. She took such great care of him and gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. It can be hard to trust someone else with your dog, but we felt completely comfortable with Amber. She was attentive, reliable, and treated Archer like he was her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her without hesitation. We’ll definitely be using her again!

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
