Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what kind of routine your dog is used to or prefers and also if there's any dietary restrictions/allergies/medical conditions. I'm flexible to working with low energy to high energy. My dog is somewhere between low and medium. :)

A typical day

I would take them on a nice walk, maybe play fetch, and give them a bunch of cuddles and pets. And a few treats. ;)

Big dog lover

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Emily. I've always been a big animal lover. I grew up with cats but helped take care of neighbor's dogs when I was younger. After my husband and I got married, we adopted our first rescue, Aggie. We adopted our 2nd rescue, Daisy a few years later. I've taken care of several dogs whether it be for family or friends throughout the years. I love the loyalty and joy they bring. I've watched several friends' dogs and regularly dog sat for a German Shepherd while living overseas. I've also had the rewarding experience of having my late dog, Aggie, CGC (canine good citizen) certified to do pet therapy through Therapy Dogs International and the Red Cross. I loved how happy it made people on our visits to hospitals and nursing homes. Dogs bring me so much happiness and joy. :)

Emily treated Mattie like her own. Her dog was super friendly and the two dogs enjoyed each other during Mattie's short stay. Mattie and I will definitely be asking to return.
