Emily can care for
Availability
As a part time stay at home stepmom with a week on/week off schedule, I’ve built my days around caring for others; both two legged and four legged. On the weeks we have my stepdaughter, my focus is on nurturing, patience, and creating a calm, structured routine. On my off weeks, I have the flexibility and time to dedicate myself fully to pet care. I love being outdoors and active, and pet sitting or dog walking fits naturally into my lifestyle. It allows me to combine my nurturing instincts with my love for animals, making sure every pet I look after gets the same attention, consistency, and affection I give at home.

About Emily C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do not currently offer boarding services at this time. With time that may be subject to change. When caring for pets in their own home, I always do my best to keep them comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe and secure while their family is away. I carefully follow all instructions left by pet parents and keep open communication with updates, photos, and messages. With over 10 years of experience in veterinary care, doggy daycares, boarding facilities, and shelters, I’m also confident handling special needs or senior pets. I’m trained to administer most medications, including oral meds, fluids, and IM injections, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in capable hands. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for; just like they would be at home with you.

A typical day
I enjoy catering the day to the client’s needs. Some dogs simply require a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood to satisfy their sniffing instincts and bask in the sun. Then on the other hand, some dogs need a vigorous exercise session just to be able to calm down at the end of the day.

Reviews
Emily has walked my two pit bulls on multiple occasions and does an absolutely amazing job from being nice, clean, patient, friendly, and compassionate about ALL animals. She has great communication skills and my dogs miss her on days she doesn’t have to come walk them. All around i would recommend her to walk anyone’s dogs!
Emily has always loved animals for as long as I can remember.She has cared for numerous animals over many years including her own three she has.She seems to bond with them very well and they listen to her commands and they learn quickly.I would let her train mine or care for them.
