Amy P. Castro, MA, CSP

Amy Castro is the host of The Pet Parent Hotline, a podcast providing practical pet advice for busy pet parents.

A professional speaker and communication expert, Amy is also the founder of Starlight Outreach and Rescue and has spent years working directly with pet owners, veterinary professionals, trainers, behavior experts, and animal rescue organizations. She has personally fostered more than 4,000 animals and has seen firsthand the challenges that can make life with pets feel overwhelming.

Those experiences inspired The Pet Parent Hotline, where Amy tackles the real questions pet parents face, from behavior and health concerns to veterinary decisions, pet care costs, aging pets, and navigating life changes with animals.

Her goal is simple: cut through the noise and give pet parents practical information they can actually use to make better decisions for the animals they love.

No fluff. No guilt. Just help.
