Animal-loving, Gentle Dog Walker

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Emily and I have just moved back to Guelph! I have previously worked as a dog-walker & sitter at We Let the Dogs Out in Peterborough and more recently I worked through Rover to walk, check-in and take care of lots of wonderful dogs in Ottawa (it was hard to say goodbye!). I grew up in a household full of dogs, my parents are dog-lovers and constantly took in or fostered dogs that needed a home or extra care. I caught the dog-loving bug as a child and have never looked back! Before working officially as a dog-walker, I was an on-call pet-sitter for family, which lead to friends and friends of friends because they know that my partner Joel and I enjoy and get along well with animals. I take a rewards-based approach to disciplining, using positive reinforcement (cheers and treats if allowed) to highlight when dogs are doing the right thing or making an effort in the right direction. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet family, Emily

Emily was a fantastic dog sitter and walker! Our pup seemed really relaxed upon our return and had had 2 walks and was fed and happy! She sent up regular updates via text and pictures as well. We will definitely use her again for this service and even possibly in home boarding.

I live in a duplex and haven't got a yard, but am happy to take your dog(s) for walks in your neighborhood. I am happy to use a key or code to your home to take your dog(s) out for a walk if you are not home. I'm also happy to come in and get your dog(s) ready for a walk (leash, harness, booties, etc) if you need me to. I click "start" on each walk as soon as I enter your home as a safety measure. The app tracks my location, time etc on each appointment. This also means that you can see exactly where I take your pup for a walk and they are home safe!

Information Emily C. would like to know about your pet

- Are your dog(s) house trained? - Do they get along with other dogs? - Do they get along with children? - Do they have a biting tendency? - Do they require any meds? - Do they require any feeding? - Are they allowed dog treats?

A typical day

- Toys and Games at home or at the park - Neighborhood walks - Happy to work with your dog on the training you have started with them
