Experienced dog daycare employee!
Pet care experience
About me: I have experience working with all size breeds of dogs, and love my current job working at a doggie daycare in Seattle! I have received special training in canine behavior as well as my Red Cross Dog and Cat CPR certification. In addition to my graduate studies, I've worked on farms for the past several years, and worked with farm animals like cows, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys. As a child I always had some kind of pet, be they dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, birds, mice, and more. Message me if you have any of these pets, happy to care for them as well and can modify my rates too! I also have cared for friends' bunnies. I have a lot of experience administering medications to senior and other-age pets. I have extensive personal experience caring for senior animals with myriad chronic illnesses that have required administering medications like insulin, subcutaneous fluids, and liquid oral medications. I am also familiar with animal grooming and able to perform certain grooming requirements for dogs and cats. I can be flexible with distances traveled, pls message me for details. Dog walking: I want my walks with your fur baby to be as fun and safe as possible. I'll always ask you what your preferences are and what previous training your pup has had to maintain your hard work. I provide runs at an extra cost! Housesitting: While staying in your home, I am organized, clean, respectful and detail-oriented, ready to follow your feeding and exercise instructions to a T. If you're alright with it, I love to get your pup out for hikes and walks with plenty of pupdates on the weekends :) It is preferable for me to sleep in a guest room. If not, your home must be carefully cleaned before my arrival in order for me to feel comfortable sitting. If your pet is not house trained, I charge extra. I consider housesitting a premium service, where your pet gets to stay in their home environment and be cared for on a one-to-one basis with lots of extra affection and playtime. My price reflects this as compared to a boarding experience where your dog is in a unfamiliar environment with many unknown other dogs with little human interaction. 2 walks/day are also included and runs at an extra cost. I'm also an avid gardener and am happy to take care of your plants while you're away as well! If your pet requires my 24-hour presence in the home, I cannot provide this service at this time.
Reviews
Emily was AMAZING! We have a dog with some behavioral issues and she handled him so well. She asked great questions, had smart instincts and provided frequent updates. Would absolutely love to have her stay again!
Emily was super attentive to our pups needs. She’s was flexible easy going and has a great skill set to care for animals. While we were away, Emily updated us frequently and was always easy to get a hold of. She truly cares deeply and has a strong understanding of animal behavior as she understood our pups quirks and how to handle them. We’re deeply grateful for the service and will ask her back the next time we need a sit.
Emily is the best!
Emily took great care of my cats while my husband and I were out of the country, and went above and beyond to send us cute videos and additional pictures of them. Couldn’t recommend her more, she is awesome!

Safety, trust & environment
I'm able to work with crate and non-crate trained dogs. If your pup requires a snuggle buddy at night, I'm your lady! I'm respectful of pets' boundaries always and take time to cater to specific likes as well.
Information Emily B. would like to know about your pet
I want to know as much as possible about your fur babies' personality, especially any anxiety/triggers as well as their reward system. I like to know your routines with your pup, what their boundaries are, and whether they've had any professional dog training.
A typical day
I love taking dogs out for their usual walk to sniff and exercise, but I also love going out to parks, hiking, playing, and provide running if that's of interest.

Availability
I work full-time at my doggie daycare job. Client requests may require some flexibility around timing to accommodate my work schedule, and I'll always work this out with you beforehand.
