Pet care experience

Experience with multiple species!

I have over fifteen years of experience working in animal shelters and seven years of experience working at a vet clinic. I have my bachelor's degree in animal ecology and currently hold my associate certification in the canine and feline divisions through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. I am a member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, Force Free Trainers of Wisconsin, and the Pet Professional Guild. I have been conducting dog, cat, and bird behavior consultations for 16 years! My husband and I own a variety of species and I am comfortable with anything from administering medications to providing enrichment and exercise. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds and horses. My husband and I have adopted senior dogs, cats, and horses over the years so I am especially comfortable with that age group. I am a business owner, so my time is very flexible to cater to your furry and feathered kiddos!

Our first contract with Emily. She was great with communication and with caring for our two doxies. She sent us pictures and updates everyday. I would feel very comfortable with having Emily return in the future, and highly recommend her.

My dogs had a great experience with Emily while we were on vacation! Emily was prepared, professional and had great communication with us before and during dog sitting. She set up our dogs for success! We got a few updates while we were gone and it was clear Emily had a great feel for what our dogs needed to be happy ? Thank you Emily! We definitely will recommend you to friends & family.

I left poor Emily with a senior dog that was having accidents every couple hours! She was fantastic and very knowledgeable of senior dogs with "issues". She kept me updated the entire time and I felt very secure with her watching my babies.

Emily was great, my dog has pretty bad separation issues and cries when I'm not with him. She handled the situation great, she's very knowledgeable about animals and their behaviors.

Schedule

When I am staying at your house, that is "home base" for the duration of the job. My life revolves around the household and your pet(s). I work a part-time job in Sun Prairie four days per week and will be gone approximately 11 hours. If your home is located within 5-10 minutes of Sun Prairie, then I will be able to stop by during my lunch break.

Safety, trust & environment

All care occurs in the client's home. It's important to me to keep your pet's schedule and routine as close to what they're used to as I can. This helps keep their stress low. I bring in the mail, water the plants, and turn on outside lights at night.

Pets

A typical day

If I am not working my in-person job, the sky is the limit! We can go on walks around the neighborhood or to nearby parks or trails. If your dog enjoys car rides, we can go on adventures like getting pup cones at the local ice cream shop or puppy lattes at the local coffee shop!
