Hi! My name is Emily C. and I'm an energetic and empathetic dog lover who wants to get to know your pooch. My best qualification to care for your dog is the love I have for my own dog, Trixie, age 12, a dashund/Corgi mix. I love pets of all ages, sizes, and levels of need and am more than capable of keeping up with the youngest puppy or soothing even the oldest ladies. I'm comfortable medicating even the most uncooperative dog, standing next to a fire hydrant for 10 minutes so that it can be thoroughly inspected, and holding my own even when your gigant dog sees a particularly large squirrel. I understand that ots hard to be away from your pet and home and that you are trusting me with a very important part of your life, and I take that responsibility seriously.
