I have a busy class load from Monday through Thursday, but I’m available Tuesdays from 1-3 and evenings from 6-8 pm for walks and doggie dinners. Friday through Sunday are usually very open for me, and I would love to spend my weekends with your dogs! I am away some weekends, usually about once a month. I am fully willing to stay overnight with your dogs any day of the week, even school nights. For full time sitting, I will check in on your dogs every 3-5 hours during the school day. If I need to leave on weekends, I will not be gone for more than four hours at a time unless specifically agreed upon beforehand.

About Emerson F.

Communication

100% response rate
Usually responds in under an hour

Skills

6 years of experience
Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

I’m fully prepared to be nipped, scratched, and jumped on, but will not encourage this behavior. My general rule for walks is one leash per hand, for both my safety and your dogs’. As a student I don’t have the ability to bring any pets to my own residence, and I do not currently own a car. I am equipped for both energetic playtime and sleepy snuggles. I do not have any supplies of my own yet, since I’m just getting started here in Normal.

Information Emerson F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog’s general personality and energy levels; what kind of leash they use and where to find it; how they generally react to strangers (people and other dogs); if they’re an escape artist; what they’re allowed to eat and how often; any strong likes, dislikes, or quirks you think I should know

A typical day

I have been trained by the master in the art of tug-of war. We can play with toys, we can play-fight in the yard, we can see the sights and smell the smells! Or we can snuggle, if your furry companion so prefers.

Emerson F.'s Neighborhood

Dog-loving college student

Pet care experience

I was my aunt and uncle’s primary dog walker and sitter from middle school until I moved out for college. I have house-sat twice for a week at a time with no problems. They have a very energetic puppy who was 5 months old and 8 months old respectively when I was house sitting. I mostly have experience with medium-sized dogs, but I’ve socialized with dogs of all sizes. My own dog, Luna, is back home with my parents. We’ve had her for ten years and love her dearly, even when she eats grass.

Emerson was a heaven sent coming last minute for a weekend booking over Halloween. When a dog sitter cancelled last minute Emerson was able to dog sit for the whole weekend, and constantly keeping me updated! She is truly such a gem!

Emerson is a very responsible dog sitter and dog walker. Emerson has walked and fed our dog many times and has come over to dog sit a few times. Some dogs in our extended family can be stand offish with people but warm up to Emerson quickly. I will definitely asking Emerson for help with our dog again soon.

We hired Emerson to stay over for 12 days while my husband and I went on vacation. Emerson was amazing, responsible, warm, friendly and treated our pets like family. I would recommend Emerson to all of my family and friends!
