About the Owner
Owner of Amber’s Pampered Pets
Meet Amber
Hello there! Thank you for visiting my website! I’m Amber Clay, the proud founder of Amber’s Pampered Pets, a pet sitting and dog walking service focused on love, dependability, and trust!
In 2002, I started Amber’s Pampered Pets as I gained valuable experience volunteering at Pet Refuge as a dog handler. Fellow volunteers began requesting that I care for their pets when they went out of town. I eagerly took on the responsibility and absolutely fell in love with it! Taking care of these furry friends and seeing them happy and content sparked a passion within me!
Word quickly spread about my pet care services, and before I knew it, family, friends, and acquaintances were asking me to care for their much loved pets as well. I realized that this was not just a job for me, but a calling. I wanted to provide peace of mind with responsible, loving care for pets when their parents couldn’t be with them.
My experience at Pet Refuge gave me valuable knowledge in handling dogs with behavioral issues, and I also gained expertise in feline medical procedures, such as administering shots, drawing blood for testing, and microchipping. These skills allowed me to offer a higher level of care and ensure the well-being of every pet under my watch.
In order to provide the best possible care and experience for pets, I have continued to further my education by completing the following courses:
• Fear Free Certification. This comprehensive course fosters a deep understanding of animal behavior, emotions, and welfare. This certification has helped me implement practices and protocols to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress in the pets Amber’s Pampered Pets cares for.
• Certified Pet Expert certification for pet sitting and dog walking. These courses focus on safe pet care and dog walking practices, emergency situation management, cat and dog body language and behavior knowledge, pet medication administration, and excellent customer service management.
• COVID-19 Certification. This course is specific to the Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Industry for best practices for keeping pet parents and sitters safe from Covid 19.
• Pet First Aid and CPR certification. Cognitive Evaluation in accordance with ProPethero Curriculum and Veterinarian Recommended Emergency Care Guidelines.
• Certification in Disaster Planning for Professional Pet Sitters. This course focuses on a wide range of disaster planning as it applies to professional pet sitters.
In addition to being passionate about the care of pets, I also pride myself in operating my pet care business with integrity and professionalism.
• APP is member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and Pet Sitters International.
• We maintain dual full coverage liability insurance by Pet Sitter Associates and Pet Care Insurance at all times for the ultimate peace of mind.
• I consult with Pet Behaviorist and trainer Patty Cope of Patty’s Pack to continue learning about canine behavior and needs.
• Should the need arise, I work closely with a professional, insured private locksmith company.
I am personally involved with each Amber’s Pampered Pets sitter, building strong relationships with them. It is of the utmost importance to me to trust that each sitter will treat your pets and your home with the same love and care that I would.
I genuinely care about every client and aim to go above and beyond to provide the best possible care. I want to express my deepest gratitude for choosing Amber’s Pampered Pets as your pet care company. It is an honor and a privilege to be entrusted with the well-being of your furry family members, and I promise to treat them with the love, respect, and attention they deserve.
Thank you once again, and I can’t wait to meet you and your babies!
Yours Truly,
Amber Clay
