Athletic Dog-lover
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Emily. I’m an retired D1 athlete who is in denial that she’s done, but has been glad to move forward in life pursuing her passions working with animals. I work as a personal aide for a young woman w/ Autism through HCS, Head Coach of rowing at Nazareth College, and in the winters as a ski instructor. I graduated from the University of Tulsa in May 2016, and will likely pursue my masters after a few years of living life post-devoting my life to rowing. I live at an apartment on my own in Fairport, with a few fuzzy friends. Few people can understand how much a pet means to the family—they aren’t just a pet but a member of the family. My family is Bristol, my mini Aussie Shepherd who is 2yr old and Pippin, my 6yr cat who came with me from Tulsa. My best friend was a Chesapeake Bay Retriever who lived until she was 15, and losing her in 2017 carved a huge chunk of me. Crinkles was the best part of my life, and Pippin + Bristol remind me everyday how thankful I am to be alive. I have experience owning a chameleon who is three, Pascal and taking care of a Hermann’s Box Tortoise with the young woman with autism. Taking care of your family member would be an honor, so let me know all about your fuzzy ball so I can take care of him/her the best way possible! I’ve become very good friends with some past clients, and continued looking after their dogs even now. I look forward to hearing from you! My work schedule is very flexible, and I’m willing to make anything work while caring for your furbabies. After 2pm in summer months I’m free for the rest of the day. Trust is hugely important, and transparency means that you know my dog Bristol will be around. I have access to a fenced in park at my apartment complex, and will crate your pup if you’d like.
Reviews
It was our first time leaving the kids and the house with someone and we were pretty anxious. Emily did a great job, sent us pictures and videos and was very sweet with our three furballs. She threw the ball for our athlete and snuggled with our less athletic pups. Can't recommend her enough, except during our next trip, then you can't have her!!!
Emily was fantastic! We have three dogs and she took great care of them. She sent updates, pictures and videos daily. Awesome communication! We will definitely use Emily again.
Emily took great care of the dogs while I was gone for the day. They seemed to enjoy her and she sent notes/pics which I always love! Thanks!
This is the first time Emily has watched Hazel in our home and she is wonderful. Kind, thoughtful, and most of all great with Hazel. We booked her over the weekends because our main puppy sitter could not stay, and she made sure all the bases were 100% covered since we would not be there to facilitate the transition. She sends pictures, keeps us updated as needed, and responds promptly when I contact her. She even washed and changed our sheets so we could come home to a clean bed after a long journey away from home - THANK YOU EMILY!!!

Information Emily F. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences! I have experience with big dogs (Great Danes, Newfoundland’s) and small dogs (Miniature Poodle). Have taken care of dog extremely active and sick older pups! Whatever you need, I’m ready to give your pup the best care possible!
A typical day
I love going on walks—particularly hikes through the woods. I work 4:30am until 2pm, and after that will do supplemental work for Naz or Bristol Mtn in the winter. Otherwise, your furbabies have my full attention!
