About Me
Hi, I’m Amby!
Veterinary assistant and a studying trainer with a passion for animal care. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. My background means I’m not only comfortable handling all kinds of pets, but I truly understand their needs; from playful puppies to sensitive seniors.
Originally from Corvallis, I now serve pets and their people in the Vancouver area.
I’m currently diving deeper into animal behavior and positive reinforcement training, building skills every day to better support the dogs (and people) I work with. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle break, or a training session, I care for every pet like they’re my own.
My Clients
My journey began by caring for the pets of friends and veterinary colleagues. The trust built through personal connections and hands-on experience has given me a great start. After moving away from Corvallis and the veterinary hospital where I worked, I transitioned to platforms like Wag! and Rover to continue offering care while establishing myself in a new area.
I loved the clients I met through those services and was fortunate to keep a few as I grow. Though I’ve since stepped away from relying on those platforms, choosing instead to build my own business, I still use them if clients prefer to book that way.
At heart, I believe in supporting small, local businesses and always encourage others to do the same.

Services & Rates
*Prices are subject to change!
Enrichment Walks*
These walks are more than just exercise; they give your dog a chance to explore, sniff, and engage with their environment in a fulfilling way. Enrichment walks help reduce boredom, build confidence, and provide much-needed mental stimulation. That is perfect for energetic or anxious dogs.
-
20 minutes- $18
-
30 minutes- $24
-
60 minutes- $35
I specialize in large dogs and understand the importance of leash manners and safe handling. If your pup pulls hard, needs a little guidance, or just has energy to burn, I have the strength, stamina, and experience to give them the exercise they crave while reinforcing good walking habits.
Boarding*
*Boarding Availability
*At this time, I’m only accepting small to medium (15lb - 35lb) sized dogs for boarding due to my small fence.
In my home, it is all about keeping your dog comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. Your pup will be part of the family during their stay; relaxing in a cozy, safe environment and getting lots of love, play, and structure!
My two huskies, Cha and Kiba, round out the pack.
Cha is young and playful, always ready for a romp, while Kiba, despite his large size, is my gentle senior lounger who loves a good nap and friendly company.
Two walks a day are standard. But if your pup needs more or less, I'm happy to do so!
-
Standard boarding - $55 /night
-
Additional pet - $34 /night
-
Puppy rate - $60 /night
Extended stay discount - 5% for stays over 7 night
10% for stays over 14 nights
*Doggy Daycare
*Daycare Availability
At this time, I’m only accepting small to medium (15lb - 35lb) sized dogs for daycare due to my small fence.
My current home has a cozy setup and a lower backyard fence, so I want to be extra cautious when it comes to safety! Especially for larger or more athletic breeds who might be great jumpers!
If you’re unsure whether your dog would be a good fit, feel free to reach out and tell me more. I’m always happy to talk through options, and I also offer dog walking services as an alternative for many bigger pups.

Training*:
Training is open to dogs of all ages, with a program built on the foundations of the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and Canine Good Citizen requirements.
Using positive reinforcement, I focus on creating well-mannered, confident dogs through:
✔️ Basic obedience – sit, down, come, and loose-leash walking.
✔️ Socialization – positive exposure to people, dogs, and new environments.
✔️ Confidence building – handling, grooming, and vet prep.
✔️ Problem prevention – addressing biting, chewing, and jumping.
✔️ Owner education – house training, crate training, and more.
Every dog is unique, so I offer a free meet & greet + first session to get to know your dog and create a training plan that fits their needs.

* To keep grooming stress-free and positive, I only offer it as an add-on for dogs I already know through walking, training, or boarding.
This way, your dog has time to build trust with me first. That’s especially important for rescues or shy pups who need a little extra care.
Thanks for understanding and for putting your pet's comfort first. ♥
Contact Me !
If you’d like to get in touch about care for your pets, I’d love to hear from you. Below are a few options for you to choose from and I’m also just a message away on Facebook or Instagram!
I pride myself on being easy to accommodate, and I offer flexible hours to fit your needs. Whether you have questions, need advice, or just want to chat, I’m here to help.
Cancellation Policy/Payment
Submitting a service request or inquiry form does not guarantee availability. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at my discretion. All bookings are confirmed only after a meet-and-greet (if required), agreement on services, and receipt of the initial deposit.
Subscription Policy
Subscription plans are billed upfront and reserve your recurring walk times for the month. Because space is limited, refunds or partial credits will not be issued for missed walks or early cancellations. I offer a one-time exception or partial refund under specific circumstances (such as emergencies or schedule changes with notice). If you need to skip a walk, I’ll do my best to reschedule it within the same week based on availability.
Payment Details
For new clients, I ask for a 50% deposit to secure your first booking. The remaining balance is due no later than the first scheduled visit. If you're paying by check, I can collect payment at the start of service. An itemized invoice will be sent before your scheduled dates so you can review the full amount ahead of time.
Pet Sitting, Drop-ins, and Dog Walking (non-subscription)
- Free cancellation if you cancel more than 72 hours before the first visit
→ If your service is scheduled to start on Friday at 12 PM, you can cancel for free any time before Tuesday at 12 PM. -
Free cancellation within 24 hours of booking, if the service starts in less than 5 days.
→ If you booked last-minute, you can cancel within 24 hours of booking without a fee. This gives you flexibility for quick decisions. -
50% cancellation fee if cancelled within 72 to 24 hours of start time.
→ If you cancel 1 to 3 days before your scheduled start time, you’ll be charged for half the total cost. -
100% cancellation fee if cancelled less than 24 hours before the first visit.
→ If you cancel the day before or the day of the visit, you’ll be charged the full amount. This protects my time and scheduling since I’ve already set time aside for your pets.
