Amy & Zach's Dog Getaway

Pet care experience

My entire life I have had an inexplicable love of dogs – as a child my parents would have to hold me every time a dog was near us, because I couldn’t help but run up and ask to pet them all! My love of dogs continued to grow as we added numerous dogs to our family across the years. In college I began fostering rescue dogs and dog sitting as a way to spend time with dogs without having one of my own – and even when I graduated I couldn’t help but continue to be a pet sitter! Currently, I work full time as a mental health therapist. I live with my boyfriend, Zach, who helps me to take care of all the dogs we watch. Our work schedules are complementary in that I am home until at least 12pm every day and Zach gets home from work at 4pm. Additionally, Zach comes home for lunch every day giving the dogs an extra potty break and some love & attention! We also have a dog of our own, Mason, who loves the company of all the dogs we watch. Please note that if your dog is not friendly with other dogs we will NOT be able to accommodate your stay due to the potential risk to our own fur-baby and the distress it would cause your dog. We love to go on long walks and runs with our own dog and love having the extra company of all the dogs we care for. Our own dog gets two long walks per day (minimum of 30 minutes each), so while your dogs are with us they will be a part of that routine – unless they are unable due to health related concerns, of course. We have multiple nature walking trails and large parks near our home that make for great adventures and awesome exercise outlets for more energetic dogs! Additionally, we have a beautiful dog park in our complex for dogs that are social! I understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog in the hands of someone else, so I will always send multiple updates per day letting you know what your pup is doing, how they are doing, and of course there will be lots of pictures!

Amy has always loved Cooper so much and we are so lucky we found her. She truly cares about the pups she works with!

Second stay with Amy! I knew he was in good hands after our first stay with Amy. They played tons of fetch and let Bowser throughout the apartment and on the furniture. Amy sent lots of pictures and updates everyday. Bowser is home now seeming quite bored and tired so that’s a pretty good sign he enjoyed his staycation with Amy!

Amy was a great sitter for my dog, Chai. Amy was very easy to work with and was very easy to talk to. Amy gave me plenty of updates so I didn’t even have to ask for them.
