About Amelia

Hello!

I have many years of experience in pet sitting, as well as house and farm sitting. My background is in agriculture and I have a 5 year University degree in Animal Sciences with a concentration in Behavior and Wellbeing. I've taken care of a wide array of animals from young to very elderly. Dogs, cats, birds, rodents, horses, and many farm animals!

I've had lots of pets over the years, and understand very well the concern owners feel for their animals when they are busy, or gone on holiday. Animals in my care will receive large amounts of attention, walks or play-time. As well as important rest periods to settle to avoid overstimulation. 

For dog boarding: Me and my husband enjoy a spacious backyard, fully fenced. We do have carpet in the house, so will only take potty-trained pets, but are understanding when accidents happen due to excitement, nervousness, or age. No restriction of dog size, I am used to very small to very large breeds. Vaccinations, fleas, and worming are required if pet stays at my house. Please let me know if your fur baby has any behavioral issues. Cats and other small pets are also welcome to board. I work from home, so your pet will have large amounts of companionship.

Thorough and/or frequent updates will be given as much as you prefer to receive. I hope that you will feel very comfortable that your pets are in professional and competent hands.

We definitely recommend Amelia! Koda stayed 2 nights for the first time and we were a bit nervous. Amelia is brilliant and kept us updated with photos and comments about how he was behaving, which was really reassuring for us because we were told he gets a bit anxious and barks. We were looking for a home environment, someone who is knowledgeable with animal behaviour and works from home and Amelia is that person. She will be our first choice for boarding Koda when we go away. Thanks Amelia.
