Hi, it’s nice to meet you! I’m Emily. I'm an organized, detail-oriented PhD student currently based in Washington DC, and I bring patient energy and a positive, reward-based behavioral approach to caring for pets of all ages and species. Every animal I've met has had different needs and a unique personality, so I love figuring out how to make each new friend feel safe and happy in their own way. I don’t do dog parks, but love to run on-leash and play high-energy backyard games to burn off steam. My two adorable cats are mischief tornadoes, so I also have a LOT of fun indoor games up my sleeve, ready for when those ears start to twitch. Some days you just need to play an hour of hide-and-go-treat or catch-the-mousie! So says Juniper, anyway. I’m most frequently available for midday walks, feeding, and playtimes, but am happy to discuss longer sessions or overnight care as well. Please reach out and let me know what you and your pet(s) are looking for! I look forward to meeting you!
