Many veterinarians and pet experts believe that keeping pets in their familiar surroundings helps to alleviate the stress imposed when their owners have to leave home. Pets are then also able to maintain their diet and exercise routine, and enjoy the personal attention provided by a pet sitter. This also eliminates the trauma of being transported and minimizes their exposure to illnesses of other animals.

We offer a variety of services and features, ranging from daily dog walks to overnight pet care. All of which are expedited by professionally trained staff. We provide exceptional care to our pet clients while delivering great service to our human clients. This means we travel to our client’s homes to care for their pets. We provide service for whatever they need; travel, long work hours, a late meeting, recovering from surgery, working from home but not enough time to walk the dog, don’t trust the kids to care for the animals properly, etc. Whatever the reason, we’ll be there! Our client’s are mostly cat and dog owners but we’ll also be more than happy to visit everyone from farm animals, rabbits, birds, frogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, iguanas, etc. Our clients can customize how long they would like for us to visit with their pets. We will also bring in the mail, take out the trash, rotate the lights and open and close the curtains to give the home a lived-in look.

When it comes to comfort, there’s no place like home! Just like us, pets enjoy being in the comfort of their own home. In-home pet sitting allows your pet(s) to stay in their familiar, secure environment, preventing any stress that might be caused by having to travel to and stay in an unfamiliar place. At home, a pet’s routine stays the same, ensuring consistent sleep and meals. You won’t need to worry about your pet being exposed to common illnesses that can be passed from other animals, such as kennel cough or fleas. Most of all, your pet will receive loving, personalized care from a companion they will soon call their friend.

Amber's Pampered Pets believes in positive reinforcement ONLY for the pets in our care. We will never hit, spank, slap, yank the leash, yell, shake or grab your pet. If there is a disciplinary problem, i.e. toilet training issues, running away, etc., we will inform our client of the incident(s) and together we can workout a solution.

You will always receive an update after every care visit with your pet. These updates will be sent through your Time To Pet portal. We will update you on how the visit went and even send pictures. These updates will occur after the visit is completed. Keep in mind, this may not always be the scheduled end time of the visit/walk, etc.

All bookings must be made through your Time To Pet account. However, if the service you need is on-going; i.e week by week, then we do offer an auto-renewing schedule. Please let us know if you wish to have this feature set up for you.

We are not animal trainers so we don’t provide official training. We will, however, follow any instructions given to us through your Time To Pet account. If your dog has training techniques that you would like for us to use, then we are happy to apply these during walks.

We ask that you give us every piece of information you feel we may require to take care of your furry family. It is very important to us that you complete the Time To Pet portal thoroughly. Time To Pet is designed to allow us to have access to all of the information we require to take the best care of your pets. Although there is no need to leave paper notes, extra emails or text messages for us outside of Time To Pet once you have updated your account, we will gladly accept them.

Security is our TOP PRIORITY. We will obtain two copies of your house key during your meet-n-greet consultation. All client keys/codes are kept in a secure lockbox in a secure location. Each key is logged in and out of our system anytime they are exchanged between your pet sitter and our office. We will always know the exact location of your keys.

Yes, we do allow garage door codes/clickers and we also allow keyless entry codes! If we are locked out for more than 30 minutes and can’t get ahold of your emergency contact, we will contact a Locksmith and you will be charged the lockout fee from the Locksmith which generally totals around $150.

For everyone’s protection and safety, we require a signed contract that states that you are aware of and agree to our policies, and that we are allowed access to your home to care for your pet(s).

Absolutely! Just ask.
