Avid animal lover

Pet care experience

My name is Emily. I've owned dogs and cats and pets of other sorts all of my life. In my adolescent years I was in 4-H. I showed small pets but helped my friends with their livestock. Ive spent time volunteering on horse ranches as well. I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat and a lizard who are all very spoiled. I work full time in retail and would like to be able to help local friends with their pets. We are fortunate our dogs don't spend much time alone in the house as my husband and I have opposite schedules. Due to our fortune I'd like to give you the peace of mind knowing your fur baby has potty breaks and attention when they need it, while you're on vacation or at work.

Emily was very attentive and great with Oakley. She sent multiple pictures and texted me while she was there. I highly recommend and will be re-booking!

Emily and Jimmy are amazing!!! I was so thankful they where able to help out last minute! Loved the photos that they sent. My kiddos enjoyed that! I recommend them 1,000 percent times over! They really enjoyed hanging out with the pups and even made friends with my kitty! Thanks so much!

Safety, trust & environment

I personally have a fenced in large yard. I'm very loving, however am willing to use my dog mom voice to ask pets to sit, or lay down when necessary. I stay aware of the amount of time my dogs are outside and the weather conditions, sympathizing to their paw needs. Our pets get treats, snuggles and praise often. The biggest thing we make sure to do is to be aware of our pets body language. How their ears sit, if they seem agitated, if they do or don't want play time, etc. This allows us to give them what they need and prevent any kind of hostilities towards one another. In the 4 years we've had our current 3 dogs this has proven to be very successful.

Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet

I don't truly have a breed preference. I would just like to know the schedule, or routine, or any special care instructions. I don't judge an animal by a breed, I love all dogs as long as they are nice.

A typical day

Dog walks, fetch in the back yard, tug or fetch in the house and always alot of snuggles. Our dogs are spoiled and often have treats. My husband and I work opposite schedules so our dogs aren't home alone for very long. We are pretty protective and as we would be for your fur babies too. So your dogs like car rides? If I have to run a quick errand I like to take my dogs with me. Usually not all at once but I'll rotate them.

Since I work full time, and it's retail my schedule fluctuates alot. I'm often available first thing in the morning and then in the evening. On my off days which also fluctuate my schedule is open. As far as boarding goes. I have a 3200 Sq ft house. Split into an upstairs and a down stairs. I have had to keep my mom's dogs separate from our dogs when she visits and it's never been a probably to rotate the dogs in and out, etc. I am confident in taking great care of your loved one and also taking care of mine. The basement door stays shut with access for the cat via kitty door.
