I'm in college, so I can only work on here during breaks and summer! Other than that I'm very available for any kind of overnight stay. Though during summer I work a job once a week on weekends. If that's an issue during your booking let me know and we can discuss options!

Pet care experience

I've owned both dogs and cats since I've been born. Not only have I been a pet owner but I've had volunteer experience as well. I volunteered at my local Save-A-Pet shelter for around 3 years before the program was shut down. They had me walk and play with dogs and even had us take care of cats afterwards. As of right now, I work as a dog bather for a local groomer. I've had plenty of experience with reactive dogs (whether that be excitement related or aggressive related.) I know how to handle any sort of emergency and I will not be afraid to contact you if need be. Animals have been a passion of mine since I've been young and I would love to be the person you count on. I'll make sure under my care not only are they safe but they are loved just as they'd be if you were home. *Please keep in mind when you hire me I go to my job about 3 times a week (Monday, Fridays, Sat/Sun). I am usually there for 5 hours. If this does not work for you I encourage considering another sitter!*

We hired Emily to stay at our home for a second time while we went on a long weekend trip. She is great to work with, responsive to messages, asks questions when needed about the pets, and I feel like my pets are in good hands with her and our home is tidy when we get back. She also came over before the planned trip to meet our newest pups. All of our dogs were happy to see her and the new pups took well to her, even our timid rescued chihuahua, which was nice to see. I would definitely continue to hire her when we need someone trustworthy and reliable to stay with our pets.

Emily was great staying with our blind senior dog in our home. She is quick to respond and provided daily updates for us while we were gone.

Emily took great care of our pets and home while we were away! We came back after our trip to a clean house and happy pups and kitties. She is very responsive to messages and sent updates of the pets. I would absolutely hire her again!

Emily was excellent to work with. She was very responsive and provided me updates and pictures throughout the stay with Freya. Freya took to her right away, despite the fact that she is usually hesitant with new people. She was also respectful of our house while house-sitting, which is very appreciated.
