Pet care experience
I am an occupational therapist working in the hospital setting, hoping to spend some free time helping care for your pets as I genuinely just love animals! I’ve had pets my whole life, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and goats. In addition, my family has fostered both dogs and cats, so taking care of animals is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I have a 1 year old puppy named Cece who I adopted last summer when my parents were fostering her and I fell in love! If you look at the photos in my profile, you’ll see Cece (the little dog), my family’s old dogs that I grew up with (Dakota - the yellow lab and Stinson - the beagle), our cat (Chives), and the rest are foster pups we’ve had the opportunity to help find forever homes for throughout the years. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pet, so I promise to take great care of your animals and give them all kinds of love when you’re not around! With fostering, we’ve taken care of everything from puppies and kittens to older dogs, and I am very comfortable with younger pets as well as giving medication. My current dog is anxious, so I have a lot of experience working with shy or nervous dogs. I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old and I absolutely love spending time with animals! In addition to dogs and cats, I’m also comfortable with horses, goats, chickens, and smaller animals!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take my own dog out on a leash for walks and potty breaks. I am comfortable with both crating and leaving dogs out in a controlled space. When taking dogs on walks, I prefer to avoid interacting with unfamiliar dogs and strangers to promote safety for the animals and people.
Information Emily A. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know your pet’s typical schedule, how long of walks they’re used to, any treats/toys they like, and how they interact with other dogs/people.
A typical day
Having a dog myself, I am used to having walks and pet-playtime embedded in my daily routine. I take my dog on longer walks in the morning and evening around the neighborhood in addition to shorter outings for potty breaks throughout the day. My dog loves to play with toys and I spend time during the day tossing her toys to her. I’m flexible with dogs’ different needs and am happy to include any activities that your dog prefers in my daily routine! With cats, I would love to provide litter changing and feeding/watering, as well as giving some extra attention to your pet while you’re gone if that’s what they prefer. I can also help bring in mail, water plants, etc.
