Dogs. Cats. Love.
Pet care experience
My life is dedicated to dogs! For the past 14 years I worked as a professional dog walker and pet sitter, and subsequently managed a dog walking company in Arlington, VA. I also worked as a veterinary assistant as well as assistant trainer. Thanks to those, I can recognize early signs of illness and know steps that need to be taken in case of emergencies. I am Pet first Air and CPR certified. I also know basic dog training techniques acquired having worked as the Assistant Trainer at Woofs! Dog Training in Arlington VA. Thanks to that, I know how to manage dogs to make sure they are polite and well behaved, and with me, they quickly learn boundaries. I treat all my doggy clients using strictly positive reinforcement, reward based methods. I love dogs and cats, I recognize the individuals beings within them, that deserve nothing less than love and respect. My own dog is my family, she is considered in anything I do, and her comfort and happiness are at the forefront of my life. Your pet will receive the exact treatment under my care. I feel very strongly about the type 'equipment' people use on their dogs. I will refuse working with any client who insists on using electric shock collars on their dogs, and well as prong, choke/pinch collars. I will also not use retractable/ Flexi leashes in highly populated urban areas. This is only to ensure safety of your pet, as well as making sure that my relationship with them isn't affected by pain or physical discomfort. I can also provide nail trimming service at client's home. With me, your pup will be safe, happy and very well taken care of. You can take off on your holiday, or stay longer at work with the peace of mind that your pet is not neglected.
Reviews
Emilia was amazing!!! kept me updated with photos every day. Chanel had a great time with her. Recommend 100%!!
Emilia has been a true friend to my Jack Russell for almost five years. She took loving care of Ruby and gave individual attention to her every need. I could rest assured that Ruby was happy and well cared for, whether it was her regular daily walks or overnight at Emilia's. My trust in Emilia's expertise, honesty and general good character is without question. I would whole heartedly endorse her! Maureen M.

I have a small fenced in yard but I never leave dogs unattended. When I stay at your place, I will follow all the protocols you give me. I never walk dogs off leash.

Information Emilia L. would like to know about your pet
I will like to know whether or not they are reactive towards other dogs. My resident Jack Russell Terrier is extremely important to me, and I want to ensure that she is not at risk from visiting pups.
A typical day
We will walk around the neighborhood, or if preferred, play fetch in the yard. Upon request I can spend extra time with the dog and take them to local dog park or beach.

Availability
The time I am consistently away from home while I take care of dog walks is roughly 11-3, so I am home quite a bit. All dogs I welcome at my place must be cat friendly as I have 2 very social cats. When I stay at your place, I must be able to bring my Jack Russell girl with me. She is 15 years old and minds her own business.
