Pet care experience

Your dog’s reliable steward

I’m new to Rover but in no way new to dogs—reach out and request my discount link for your first booking with me! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, including a wide array of breeds and varying across experiences of ownership, temporary care, and formal fostering. My passion for dog care and their well-being can be summarized by the underlying core principle: humans are responsible for being our dog’s most reliable and knowledgeable steward. That core tenet has informed everything from how I’ve approached formal training lessons with my most recent dog adoption at 3 months old (now 7) to how I converse with strangers who are hungry to learn more about their own pets. Understanding how our dogs speak to us in their own way is the key to their/our success. Being knowledgeable about the ways in which each kind of dog benefits from a variety of enrichment styles is a must. Any dog I come into contact with receives the love, respect, and responsibility with which I treat my own—ample exercise, safe spaces, and lots of affection and reassurance. I am very active and would willingly walk or run with your pet. I am very experienced with stubborn older dogs that don’t always accept their medication. I am also quite strong (regular lifter) and can happily carry your dogs up and down flights of stairs if needed. Whatever need or desire may arise in the care of your furry family member, I will be happy to go above and beyond!

I am delighted to recommend Emi for any pet care opportunity. They have a genuine love for animals that is evident in every interaction. Any fur baby you have will be in the most capable hands as they are patient, attentive, and compassionate, always making an animal’s comfort, safety, and happiness their top priority. Emi is dependable, responsible, and trustworthy. They understand that every pet has its own unique personality and needs, and they take the time to build trust and provide personalized care. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and meeting the unique needs of of a very sassy tripod shiba inu of their own, Emi consistently goes above and beyond. Beyond their excellent caregiving skills, Emi excels in communication so keeping pet owners up to date will be effortless, allowing for great peace of mind while they are away. I would trust Emi without hesitation to care for my own pets, and I am confident they will love and care for every animal as if it were their own. I wholeheartedly recommend Emi to anyone seeking a caring, reliable, and knowledgeable pet caregiver. Any pet would be fortunate to be in their care.

Emi is not only an animal lover, but also an extremely dedicated, experienced, and responsible pet caregiver. I’ve witnessed directly the devotion with which Emi cares for their own dogs, one of them a senior Shiba Inu with a disability that needs to be carried up and down the stairs and (reluctantly) takes medication regularly. Emi has also volunteered as a foster pawrent for the Midwest Shiba Inu Rescue, helping many maladjusted dogs transition to their furever homes. Emi has always shown love and patience for any pet under their care—even in the most challenging moments (behavioral issues, reactivity, administering medication, or dealing with health emergencies), Emi has met the moment with the utmost kindness and compassion. Whenever I need to leave my pups in good care, I don’t hesitate: Emi is definitely my go-to person.

Emi is a true lover of all things pets and has a special heart for dogs. They have cared tremendously for their own pets with personal sacrifices and love. I’d absolutely trust Emi to take care of my pup with zero hesitation.
