Lifelong animal lover!
Pet care experience
Hi! I've loved and have been taking care of animals since childhood - dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, parakeets, chickens... you name it! I got my first paid dog walking job at age 12. Neighbors, friends, coworkers, and family have relied on me for many years to walk, feed, bathe, and housesit or board their beloved pets. In my community, pets are family and we treat them that way. I also work with several local rescue organizations to foster and find homes for cats. Because I am experienced with administering medications, providing wound care, giving injections, etc, I often take in those who need a little extra love and medical care before they are ready to go to their fur-ever homes and I am happy to give meds or handle other medical issues your pet may have. About our family: 2 humans, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. My husband and I live here with our dogs Seamus (neutered male, 1.5 year old mini Aussie, 32 lb), and Topaz (spayed female, 1 year old shepherd mix, 41 lb). We also have two cats, Kitsune (spayed female, 2 year old calico), and Tanuki (neutered male, 1 year old black house panther).
Reviews
Emilie was fantastic! I came home to happy dogs!! Going to use her again in upcoming trips.
Emilie took excellent care of my kitty while I was away. She was dependable and very responsive of any needs.
Emilie is amazing and comfortable to be around. My pups just love her. She’s the best
Emilie was absolutely fabulous. She did everything that she said she would; to sending pictures and daily updates, cleaning up after our lil Nala’s accidents, to even hand feeding our Nala because she missed her mom and dad. Emilie was very responsible with our residence. She set the alarm upon her coming and going and left the residence as clean as when we left it. Our fur babies really enjoyed sitting and her presence. I would highly recommend Emilie to everyone and I hope she would be available for our fur babies again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
Our house sits on a quarter acre, and we have a large, fully enclosed backyard (6 ft tall wooden fence and block wall) with lots of room to run, toys and treats galore, a private spare bedroom if your pet prefers some quiet time, and a California King bed we all snuggle up in at night. Your pet is welcome to join our cuddle party if they need some extra comfort. Our dogs go inside and outside but we never leave them unsupervised outdoors, and we would follow the same protocols for yours. For cats, in order to avoid conflict with our cats, we would board them in a spare bedroom with a bright sunny window, a comfortable bed, and a litter box. We will come in and spend time playing with and cuddling your kitty to keep loneliness at bay, and if needed one of us can even sleep in the room with them. Our dogs are extremely social and friendly, and our Aussie in particular has boundless energy and can outplay and tire out any dog. Our dogs are extremely respectful of and gentle with cats. IMPORTANT: It is an absolute requirement that any dog in our home has experience around cats and is known to be cat-friendly. Your pet will be played with, pampered, and loved on - and if you are comfortable with it, brought on adventures like hiking and playing at the park.

Information Emilie B. would like to know about your pet
Please share as much information as you can ahead of time! Likes, dislikes, routines, quirks, medical/health info, the more details the better. I would rather we overcommunicate with each other.
A typical day
We normally do at least 2 walks on weekdays, in the morning and in the evening. We vary times seasonally to ensure that we are not out in the heat. We walk around our neighborhood and local parks, and on weekends we like hiking in the trails above Hulda Crooks Park in the South Hills Preserve, or other natural areas nearby. We also like to play in the backyard and do enrichment activities like nosework and agility.

Availability
Schedule: I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I am here to look after them at all times! My general work hours are 9-5 but I have some flexibility in that if needed to accommodate drop-off and pick-up times, and can take midday breaks as needed for drop-in visits, walks, and potty breaks. *Calendar is up-to-date through Labor Day Weekend.*
