“Amazing job! Got updates and pics regularly. The issues other dog sitters reported were not issues for her. My dog has separation anxiety, and she made him feel right at home and comfortable. Even when there was a storm, and he got nervous, she took him to the living room and turned on the TV to help drown it out. He even got some cuddles! Well deffinitly repeat buisness with her, and highly recommend her to my freinds.”
“Emma did a great job watching our dog! She sent pics and kept us informed the entire time we were gone. Last night we picked up a very happy healthy dog. I would highly recommend Emma!”
About: I grew up with dogs, since my very first dog at one years old, Agnes and have loved dogs my entire life. After I bought my first home, the next big purchase was a dog of my own. I had grown up with labs but had wanted a Great Dane for a long time, so that's what I got. Jasper was the first dog I raised on my own and we had some challenges to work through but he was a great dog. When he was two years old we got Ruby, a sassy, olde english bulldog. She absolutely loved Jasper, he tolerated her. Unfortunately, Jasper passed away when he was 4 years old and both Ruby and I were devastated. It took awhile, but eventually we opened our hearts to Gus, another great dane. He was the sweetest boy, hated to be in trouble and only wanted to please. Ruby wasn't all that pleased with him but eventually she warmed up. When Gus was two I decided to get a french bulldog, Lilo. She was feisty from the start, wasn't even afraid of Gus who has like 100X her size haha. Lilo and Ruby though did not get along and even up until the day Ruby died, they were not friends. I raised three dogs together for 8 years, within the last two years I had to put down Ruby and Gus due to age related illnesses. I have a lot of experience with multiple breeds, ages and health problems. I am very comfortable giving medications, I am actually a nurse by trade, and I have a lot of love for dogs. I love snuggles and kisses. I am currently out of work, still searching, so right now my schedule is wide open. I am in the process of looking for a job and hoping to find a work from home position. My own dog, Lilo has free reign of the house and is very well behaved. With other dogs in my home, I allow them to have free reign of the main floor when I am home, would prefer them kenneled when I am not here, especially for their protection. I do dogs on the furniture. I do have a fenced in back yard and let the dogs run around in the back for awhile, as long as its not too hot (or cold) out.
