An adventure pet's dream sitter!
Pet care experience
My fluffy furchild, Rigby, and I love meeting new animal friends and I would be happy to spend some time caring for your pet! We are a very active pair who spend any time I'm not at work outside on the trails around Boulder running, hiking, frolicking in rivers and dog-friendly lakes, and also spending rest time at home playing with toys and snuggling. If your pet would like to join us on any of these adventures or have some friendly company while you're away, please don't hesitate to call me! I've cared for friend's dogs for ~10 years and have owned Rigby for 7. I took one-on-one training lessons from a professional dog trainer in Rigby's first home of New Mexico, in order to better work with Rigby on obedience and off-leash activity, so I am used to reading dog's body language and know how to handle groups of pups when things don't go swimmingly. I'm available for all sorts of pet sitting/walking/drop in visits in the Boulder and Golden areas!
Reviews
Emily (and Riley) are consummate hosts! Emily is a natural around dogs. Nova can be anxious when I leave her behind, but with Emily she settles well into her regular routine of playing and demanding pets. Emily is responsive, a great dog-tographer, and incredibly reliable. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for their pups to be well taken care of.
Emily took great care of my Dalmore while we went to CU football game. She has a large backyard and her dog Rigby was very friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much Emily!
The best! So good I hate to be honest because then there could be more competition for her time!
Emily is an excellent and reliable caregiver for pets. She is great with dogs, and treats them like members of her family. Emily has experience owning and watching other people's dogs, and has always done a phenomenal job watching mine. She has a clean, safe, dog friendly home and is always willing to take the time to make sure your pet is feeling loved and well taken care of. She has done both house calls to drop in on my dogs and has watched them at her house. Without a doubt I would trust and recommend her for both types of services, as my dogs have always received excellent care and attention!
About Emily B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take a trained eye in reading a pet's body language when establishing their trust in their caretaker. I make sure to meet each pet in the way that is best for them to ensure their happiness and safety while you are away. I've taken Boulder County's Voice and Sight Tag Program training several times, if your pet has updated tags and you feel comfortable with off-leash adventures while you are away.
Home
Information Emily B. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know how well-socialized and active your dog is before sitting him or her, to know how much time out and about with other dogs they prefer, or what kind of activities they are comfortable with, such as riding in cars. I also don't prefer any specific breeds or sizes, but would prefer house-trained/crate-trained dogs. If you'd like my pup to interact with your dog(s), I'd be happy to set up a meet and greet beforehand!
A typical day
I take my furry visitors on trail walks and runs, and out on weekend adventures in the mountains near Boulder for all the best sniffs. I make sure to spend time hanging with them on their own turf to give them the best company I can while their beloved humans are away!
