Heather wasn't accepting new clients, but was quick to respond and gave me several recommendations for sitters she's worked with; much appreciated! read more

Amber is fantastic! Her personality is welcoming and helpful. Long story short, I have a special-needs giant breed dog and we're new here in Grass Valley. Amber gave me several great referrals and resources for him even though she decided that she wouldn't be a good fit for what I needed. If our doggo didn't have the issues he does, I would have hired her immediately! read more

Amber is amazing and my Little Chase and I just love her. She's kind, friendly, always on time. She's also very accommodating. read more

See all

Amber is absolutely awesome. We met her last weekend when we had a pet sitter bail on us at the last minute. She not only found a way to work us into her busy schedule, but she was amazing every step of the way. She stopped by our house to meet our two kitties and was more organized than I knew was possible...making sure she knew everything she needed to know...including detailed emergency plans and other "what if" scenarios. While we were gone, she not only took care of my kitties, but kept us up to date with text and pictures, and truly went above and beyond by coaxing my shy girl out and turning her into a trusted friend. I'm a convert. Amber's our pet sitter from now on. I didn't know how good it could be until I met her. read more

We have had truly terrible things happen with other house/pet sitters, so we are hypersensitive on this issue. Amber is one of two housesitters I feel 100% confident about leaving with my critters, and that's saying something. She is organized, committed, responsible, friendly, flexible, communicative - and best of all, my dogs adore her. As much as I would love to keep her secret so she's always available for us (LOL!), knowing how we pet owners sweat these kinds of details, I can't in good conscience keep from sharing. Her services don't come cheap, but she's definitely worth it. read more

Amber is absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our kitties while we were away and sent us pictures with updates (she asked if we wanted them). She is careful, conscientious, and organized! read more

We just returned from a 7-day trip and left our 4 large dogs in the capable and loving hands of Amber. We had used her before just to exercise the dogs midday and our crazy pack loved her, but this was her first overnight stay. We could not be more pleased with how well Amber cared for our dogs and homestead! We received daily texts, with pictures included, illustrating their daily antics and that made us feel that we were close by. She scrubbed their swimming pools and kept them well exercised and very loved. She happily cleaned up a large amount of various bodily fluids due to someone's upset stomach on day 6 (better her than me-LOL). We had not left our dogs home in over 3 years, and now, with Amber, we have a new-found freedom - she is just FANTASTIC- we give her our highest recommendation! read more

When I first moved to Nevada County, I stumbled upon Pet Plant & Home and chose to try them out because they were insured and bonded. I was not expecting the level of care and attention to detail that Amber provides. She loves all animals and will treat your pets like they were her own. You can truly relax when you are on vacation knowing that Amber is taking great care of your fur babies and your home. Amber has won my complete trust and the only downside is that now she has spoiled me for all other pet sitters.....nobody else can compare! read more

When I lived in Nevada City, Amber did an awesome job of taking care of my dog as I travelled frequently to the Bay Area. My dog was always happy and content when I came home, and even when unexpected things happened (like my house getting snowed in while I was away), I knew I could trust Amber to take care of things. I highly recommend her services! read more

Amber, at Pet, Plant and Home, is the absolute best doggone house, plant and pet sitter there is this side of the Sierras. She is very organized and punctual, knows plants, loves animals and has taken great care of our home when we' ve been away for over 2 years now. We have never had a problem with her in charge, and we've got loads of stuff that could go south. Chickens, cats, fruits, bats, vegetables, ornamentals, lots of small plants and large plants, and an antagonistic rooster. Amber does it all quite efficiently and lovingly, and with a smile on her face. She makes leaving easy. read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Amber? We were lucky to find out about her after another pet sitter dropped out of the business. Needless to say, she is responsible, clean, communicative (sends texts to let you know how things are) caring and best of all my cat loves her. I don't know of any other pet sitter I've had anywhere that is as wonderful as Amber. Believe me, you are leaving your pet and house in the best of care. read more

Amber is an outstanding pet sitter, simple as that. I have had her repeatedly take care of my two furry friends and she not only understands that they are a vitally important part of my family, but when she is taking care of them I feel like they're just as important to her! She is timely, organized, and always provides an update by text or email after each visit (if requested -- and I always do!). She's a true lover of animals and very passionate about her business. Can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Amber is one of very few people that I would trust with my dogs. I don't think it gets any better than that. I'm a pet sitter myself and I know how important it is to know that your pets are safe when you're away from home. Besides that, she's FUN and the animals love her!!! read more

We were going to be gone for 3 weeks and were reluctant to leave our crotchety old Manx and new kitten alone, but had nobody to care for them. I researched Amber and went to Animal Save to ask for a recommendation, and unanimously they all said, "AMBER!!" So, we called Amber and she came for an interview. We were immediately impressed at how professional she was. She came with copies of her in-depth contract, copies of all her certifications (I didn't even know there was such a thing as dog and cat first aid certification) and a laser toy for our kitten, Murphy, which he loved. We spent about a hour or more discussing what we expected, eating habits, likes and dislikes, and letting her get to know Murphy and Bob. Bob, who doesn't like anyone, was drawn to Amber, and Murphy couldn't leave her alone. So, off we went on our cruise. Amber kept in touch constantly by email telling us how our babies were doing and sent pictures so we could see them. When we returned, the house was clean, the cats well fed and happy and that's what we wanted. I wish I could give Amber more than the 5 stars allowed -- she is a treasure. I actually think Bob & Murphy were disappointed when we walked in the door as opposed to Amber! I would recommend Amber without hesitation. She was absolutely fabulous and we already have her lined up for our next vacation. When it comes to pet-sitting in Grass Valley, I don't think you could do better than Amber.
