Amy's Pet Care

04/11/2024

Today is National Pet Day! I'll introduce you to one of my pets... You've probably seen her around Eaton. She loves greeting people and she never lets me skip her daily walk. She's my adopted corgi, Neko.

Egg hunting, pet sitter style. 🐔 So many colors and no need to dye them! Collected these from a henhouse today.
Happy Easter, everyone! 🐣

Amy had a very busy Christmas, traveling to many homes to care for pets! Maybe next year Santa will let her borrow his sleigh. Cats Oliver and Fezzik enjoyed the holiday weekend with Amy, eating lots of tasty food and getting plenty of pats. Mari didn't come out for pictures, but she certainly enjoyed her dinners, too.

Mila had fun playing and walking outdoors with Amy! Mila easily becomes anxious, so going to a boarding facility would be scary for her. With Amy taking care of her, Mila got to stay home in her familiar surroundings with all of her favorite toys.

Happy Halloween from Amy's Pet Care!🎃
Lavender is a senior cat who gets extra pats, canned food, and his arthritis medicine when Amy comes to visit. He has his own room in the library of a Victorian house. Spooky and snuggly! 👻🐈‍⬛️

There's nothing like the love we receive from our pets. May you find someone that looks at you the way your pet does. 😸😻
Nothing says love like a raspberry from my cat, Luna.

Update 12/22/22: I already trashed my car.

Pet sitters work in all weather, including arctic cold Christmas holidays. I'm preparing for the worst to continue caring for pets. Please bring in your cats and dogs, provide shelter for strays, and stay safe and warm everyone.

My client Barbara Lovedahl is moving to live with her family. She can't take her cats with her due to her family's allergies. She has 5 cats in need of adoption. All have been spayed/neutered. Call her for more information: 717-422-1061. Please leave a voicemail message.
If they aren't all adopted, we might need information on local cat rescue groups. Let us know in the comments if you know of a good rescue/foster group. Thanks!

Spooky had a spa day on a weekend! 😻 When her owner goes on vacation, she can relax knowing Amy is taking care of her.

August 28th is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, a day to remember our pets that have crossed over. Feel free to post memorials to your pets in the comments. ❤
It's been 20 days since Wiley, my beloved dog who was the inspiration for Amy's Pet Care, passed away. He was my best friend for 15 of his 17 years. On the day he died, I was struggling with the lack of certainty of pets in heaven. My family buried him in my back yard. I took a walk that evening with my other dog, Neko. When we returned, I looked out into the backyard, amazed. His grave was lit by a sunbeam, with streaks like footprints leading away to the sun. I have no more assurance than I did before, but moments like that give me hope.

A tale of two cats:
Eddie is an indoor cat, who likes to play with rugs and get hugs.
Tito is an country cat who likes to roam and eat at home.
They are friends and talk every day from the window. They tried to be housemates, but Tito just couldn't be tamed.
Amy took care of them both when their owners were on vacation.

Amy took care of Sunny the cockatiel when his owners went on vacation. Taking care of an exotic bird is very different than the usual dogs and cats. But Sunny warmed up to Amy right away! He was singing, whistling, and admiring himself in her camera within a day. He loved taking selfies! Every time the camera would click, he'd say "Sunny is a pretty bird" or whistle.

It's International Cat Day!
Amy takes care of cats, lots of cats! 😺
Cats like to stay home instead of going to a kennel when their owners are away. Did you know that no matter how many cats you have, if Amy can take care of them in 30 minutes, it's the same rate per visit? She's taken care of over 30 cats at once on farms in a single visit. Now that's better than boarding!

July is lost pet prevention month. Having a collar with identification tags on any pet that goes outside is very important. Pets that stay indoors, such as cats, should still have ID collars in case they get out. If your cat won't tolerate a collar, microchipping them will help a shelter or veterinary office identify them. Microchips are important for dogs to have, too, in case their collar breaks or is lost. Speaking of microchips, have you updated your contact information for your pets' microchips lately? Consider this your reminder to update your contact email, address, and phone number. Your lost pet wants to get home safe: give them the best chance by following these tips!

Today is Pet Fire Safety Day! Some tips:

One of the best things you can do to protect you and your pets from fire in your home is to have a smoke detector on every floor of your house. Consider this your reminder to check the batteries!

Another good thing to have is the proper fire extinguisher near risky places, such as your stove. Fire extinguishers have certain chemicals to put out different types of fires, so check the label of yours to make sure it can put out a grease fire for example.

In case of a fire or other home emergency, it's a good idea to have stickers stating the number of people and pets who live in your house. This will help tell firemen to look for your pets.

And when you're on vacation or out of town, having a pet sitter come to check on your house every day can prevent an emergency before it happens.
