I Treat Animals Like People

Pet care experience

Hi there! I adore animals and respect them just like I do humans. Right now I only have a cat but I have 10 years of experience caring for a Shiba Inu and grew up with a Shetland Sheepdog. I've house sat for friends a handful of times overnight and/or dropping in. The breeds I have personally cared for are German Shepherds, Malteses, Corgis, Pit Bulls, and Black Labs. I've cared for dogs with and without food schedules. I know how important routines can be so if it's possible for me to walk/feed your dogs at the same usual time I will! My Shiba was small but he pulled like an ox so I can hold my own on a walk fairly well. He was also an escape artist so I'm prepared to handle dogs that have similar traits. My cat Lily had required insulin injections and oral medication during the last 5 or so years of her life so I have expertise there as well. I drive for Uber so my schedule is pretty flexible. As long as I'm not actively on an order I can stop by anytime!

Emily is a dependable young woman who loves all animals. She will treat your pets like they were hers. Her positive attitude on life is reflected in all she does. She enjoys Yoga, camping, and kayaking. Her grandfather helped cultivate her interest in nature and animals which is reflected in many of the activities she pursues. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any job on Rover.com

Information Emily A. would like to know about your pet

No information is ever too much! The more I know about you, your dog, and your house, the better I can service you. Tell me about your dogs and all of their specific needs or preferences. Both of my dogs were very picky in certain ways and I have no problem adhering to seemingly weird requests. Whatever I can do to make your animals comfortable and happy I will!

A typical day

I like finding parks with trails and lots of new smells for dogs (and me) to explore! My main goal will be to tucker your fur babies out so they'll be content when our adventure is over. I'm always down for catch or frisbee or tug or swimming or anything your dog likes. I follow instruction very well and am open-minded to suggestions!
