About: I’ve worked in vet clinics and for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, giving me hands-on experience with pet health, behavior, and emergencies. As a former vet assistant, I helped with surgeries, medications, and cared for pets of all ages—including seniors and post-op patients. At poison control, I worked directly with vets and pet owners to assess toxic exposures and guide treatment. Outside of work, I’m a high-energy, animal-loving farm girl with a big heart and a great sense of humor. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away. I work full-time as a Crop Consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for pets. I treat every animal like my own, with safety, love, and attention to detail always top of mind. Safety and trust come first. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved, whether in your home or mine. With my vet clinic and poison control experience, I’m confident handling meds, emergencies and all personalities. You’ll get regular photo updates and peace of mind every step of the way.

About: Newly retired from my absolute passion of grooming dogs for 11 years. I am new to Illinois but not to the dog world! I am a show handler, dog sport enthusiast, and behavior nerd. I have experience with dogs of every temperament, size, disability, and life history. As well as pet owners of every level, income, and willingness to learn 😉 My partner and I own over ten dogs, all but a couple are active sport / show dogs. Some retired now, and some just getting started! I personally own Sithis the Cane Corso ( 7yr old intact male), Talos a Pit Bull (1yr old intact male), and soon to be Sanguine a Standard Poodle (7 weeks old when I write this march 2025). My poodle will be my future demonstration dog for training and grooming! I’ll be showing him AKC, UKC, and competing in sport competitions: obedience, barn hunt, scent work, lure coursing, agility, weight pull! I have been paid for training on and off my whole career but am now transitioning to training and consulting only due to my arthritis (not disabling but not conducive to grooming for a living). I’m a very laid back, jovial guy with a lot of knowledge to give! I won’t ever make you feel guilty or stupid for anything you need help with. I am not here to judge, you’re here because you love your dog and you want to learn, that’s all that matters to me! So! Let’s learn basic canine behavior to tighten your bond and communicate effectively! learn to read your dog in any situation so that you can always be your dog’s advocate! Let’s get you and that awesome dog you have on the path to thriving together as a team! Need new puppy intros and steps to success? Have a reactive dog? New rescue relationship needs mending? Got a working dog driving you nuts? Have a fearful/overwhelmed/aggressive/excitable dog?? ORRR Have a coated dog you need help learning to groom? Need help finding a breeder or breed that fits your lifestyle? Want to get into sports or dog shows or dog grooming? (omg pls let me know I love getting people into the dog world) Need enrichment ideas? Whatever it is, just ask! I’m here to encourage and educate! Absolutely zero gate keeping, just honest feedback and fun with your dogs. I’m currently unemployed other than Rover so I am extremely flexible. I’m also a very early riser, and I only live about 40 min north of Springfield. I have many references for respecting people’s homes and adhering to careful instructions. I’ve experienced all kinds of emergencies with dogs in my life. Whatever could possibly come up, I assure I will know what to do to keep your loved one and myself safe. I am AKC Safe certified, versed in fear free handling if needed, and always remain calm in an emergency. I haven’t met a dog I couldn’t win over after an appropriate amount of interaction and patience.

Oliver F.
“If there was one person I'd trust to take care of my little fur baby in the same loving, caring manner I do It is Emma! I've known her for about 3 years and I can't say enough amazing things about her. She honestly cares about the well-being of your animals and has a deep passion for our four legged fur friends. She has stayed numerous times at my home, and I'm always comforted knowing Chloe is in the best hands. From hand feeding (at times) when she's a bit anxious, to extra-long walks to burn off her crazy, crazy energy, she sends daily photo/text updates, she'll make sure she's well cared for and given extra love while you're away. She's professional and respectful of your home as well. (a huge factor for me) I've always come home to a tidy home when I've been away for both short and long trips. There are few people I trust to take care of Chloe without me being worried, but Emma checks every box. Her and Chloe have an incredible bond together, she's my dog whisper. Okay... maybe I shouldn't give her so much praise, she might not be available for me. :) But if you’re looking for loving, caring pet sitter I’d highly recommend Emma.”
