About: I've always had a soft spot for animals. Been infatuated with them since I was born and been caring for them since I was a teen. Family, friends and even coworkers would entrust me with their fur babies and some would board in my home and meet my 3 little fur babies. They all have lots of fun and the ones that return always get excited to play with my doggos. My fur babies are out and about throughout the day, running and playing majority of the times with my roommate or myself. At night they have a designated area to sleep. Meals 2 times a day and water throughout, especially on a hot productive day. Potty outside 2-3 times a day in the designated outside area. I have a designated fenced in area for the fur babies to potty and that so area is extended to a more spacious spot for running and playing, and if weather permits even pool play. At night areas are designated for my fur babies. If needed your fur baby can share a room with me or share space with my fur babies that are silly and welcoming.

About: I'm Emily! I've taken care of a variety of different animals since I was very young, from dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies, chinchillas, guinea pigs etc. I've grown up living with dogs since I was a child so I'm extremely comfortable around many dog breeds big and small. Family, friends, neighbors and coworkers have relied on me for years to watch over, care for, walk, feed etc. their pets. I have lots of experience with big dogs and am really comfortable walking them, I grew up with 2 rottweilers and a great pyrenees so I'm used to a big dog on a leash. I am currently a college student with a light open schedule so I will be able to fit your needs pretty much however you need. I would make sure your pets safety is my number one priority and my second priority would be to make sure your furry friend is enjoying their time! We would play a bunch of games, go on walks (I have multiple woodsy paths near my home).

“Donavan is an excellent dog walker. He walked my 13 year olds dog twice a day for over a week and he was very considerate of her. He paid attention to her weaker back legs and adjusted the walks to suit her. He was reliable, flexible and he quick to respond to communications. I highly recommend him and will book him again in the future.”
