At Home Pet Care & House Sitting

Amy is GREAT! You can tell that she does this job out of pure love for animals. She is just so caring and willing to do whatever it takes to take care of your fur babies while you are away. First off, she will come to your house before she takes care of your pets and completely explain her services. She wants to meet your pet and make sure he or she is comfortable with her first. She is licensed and bonded and has high standards for her employees. She doesn’t just come and feed your pet and then take off. She spends at least 20 minutes at your house making sure they have human interaction, not just a meal. She takes care of animals that have special needs and are on medications. She does house sitting as well, watering plants, putting trash can on curb, getting mail, etc.
I was so grateful to have her for my older cat Boris. He was refusing to eat, which is very dangerous for cats. I had to leave and was nervous for him, as he was pretty sick. Amy took the necessary time needed to coax Boris and get him to eat some food every day. I was so happy to have her.
I even had surgery one time and needed someone to take care of my cats while I was incapacitated inside the house. Her then-​employee Jill came every day and still spent the 20 minutes with the cats. It was great because I was stuck in my recliner all day and couldn’t play with them.
Her rates are more than reasonable for someone who gives this level of service. If you get stuck in a snowstorm at the airport or something, you just give her a call and tell her you won’t be home on time and she will gladly extend the length of service. When you get back, even if it is on time, she asks that you give her a call saying so, so she can be sure your pets are safe. She cares for your animals as if they were her own. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Amy. It might sound over the top, but when I move away from Ames, I am really going to be feeling the loss of such a trusted caretaker of my animals.
