Attentive, compassionate pet lover

Pet care experience

I've worked with dogs, cats, and other animals since middle school. I've done short- and long-term sitting for dogs varying from a weekend with a mixed breed rescue to a month with a purebred Australian shepherd. I owned an elderly Maltese for three years, until he crossed the rainbow bridge. Currently I do have a limit of dogs of maximum 35 pounds. I am prepared and willing to work with training routines. I studied cats extensively in seventh grade in my attempt to persuade my parents into owning one. (It worked.) As either a cat owner or sitter, I've been working with cats ever since. I have a beautiful little black and white princess named Jane, with an affinity for burrowing in blankets and stealing pens, and a wild child named Lizzie who has never met a stranger. I offer dog and cat walks, animal feeding, water changes, litter box changes, playtime, and brushing. I'm open to pets outside the usual; anything except spiders. My availability is very flexible right now. Send me a message to get a request started!

Emily has stayed with our dog, Ollie, on multiple occasions. Ollie loves it with Emily comes which is saying a lot because our dog has severe anxiety! Emily has always taken impeccable care of both Ollie and our home when she has stayed here. She makes sure that he gets his medicine on schedule, and spends time playing with him and loving him. When we leave Ollie with Emily, we are at peace and have now worries! We know without a doubt that he is in good hands and will get all of the love and attention that he needs!!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and care in a pet's home is reliant first and foremost on learning the family's routines and location of important items. Every family in every home has a system and routines in place; following those is the smoothest way to keep the animals happy and safe. In my home, I care for two young adult cats I own, as well as foster kittens. Right now, I have a group of four kittens to care for until they reach their goal weight for their spay/neuter surgeries. I do practice robust hygiene routines to ensure no potential illness is transmitted between the fosters and my cats.

Information Emery S. would like to know about your pet

I need to know each animal's name, age, size, weight, any known medical conditions, and any known allergies. For dogs, I ask that you inform me of any training you are currently working on. Please inform me of all areas your animal is or isn't allowed, and if any other animals are present.

A typical day

I'm open to using any treats/toys the owner provides and working on training the owner instructs me in. I would love to play with your fur baby indoors and out and share cute photos from our visit :) Interactive play with lasers, wands, etc. are particularly good for cats, while dogs benefit greatly from both training practice (mental stimulation) and exercise (burning off physical energy).
