Who You're Trusting
Meet Nicholas & Amber
A mother-son team who treat every pet on their route like part of the family.
Nicholas Vance
Co-Founder
Nicholas grew up in a house that always had a dog underfoot and a cat curled up somewhere nearby, and that early companionship grew into a lasting passion for animal care. He's spent years walking, feeding, and looking after pets of every size and temperament — from bouncy puppies who need to burn off energy to steady seniors who just want good company. Patient, dependable, and endlessly good-humored with animals, Nicholas treats every pet on his route like it's his own.
Amber Vance
Co-Founder
Amber has never known a home without animals in it, and that lifelong experience shows in the calm, attentive way she cares for every pet she meets. She's looked after dogs, cats, and everything in between, and has learned to read each animal's personality — a gentle hand for the anxious ones, a firm-but-fair approach for the stubborn ones, and plenty of affection for all of them. Warm, observant, and fiercely reliable, Amber treats every visit with the same care she'd want for her own pets.
Together, this mother-son team built Shoreline Walks & Whiskers on a simple idea: your pets deserve the same love and attention they get at home.
