Emily can care for
Availability
I work a full-time remote job with *some flexibility and have a dog of my own. The following schedule has worked beautifully when petsitting before, and can be amended as appropriate: -I will arrive early morning for walking & feeding and will work remotely (I do need reliable wifi and a clean, safe, quiet environment) at your home until lunch -I will do walking and feeding as appropriate and then will go home for the second half of the day to walk & feed my own dog. -I will return around 5 for walking and feeding, etc, and will remain until evening walking and feeding, and then will return to my own home to sleep. -Especially if you have a fenced-in yard, I can additionally let your dog out as many times as needed throughout the day while present between meetings.

About Emily D.
Safety, trust & environment
I typically leave a sat home cleaner than I found it, but please remember that you are paying for a petsitter who (bonus!) cleans, and not a combination cleaning/petsitting service. (If I don’t dust above your ceiling fan blades, please have some grace.) I will water your plants and take in your garbage and so forth, but note that excessive additional task requests will result in an increase in rate. (I have been asked to do heavy duty pool maintenance before and that is simply not my area of expertise.) I am a responsible and reliable adult. I will not bring third parties into your home, nor will I disturb your neighbors. (On the contrary, I’ve made friends with some sitting neighbors. I’m a pleasant person who likes to chat, what can I say!) I will mostly be working or reading on your porch or couch when not interacting with animals. I’m a working professional adult making use of extra time to save money: I’ll make things easy, respectful, and pleasant for you, and I hope you’ll do the same for me! I do expect that you alert me to any abnormal needs of your animal or home. (Does your home alarm randomly go off? Does your animal have daily gastrointestinal distress? Please tell me. This will help everyone.) I will send you pictures of your pets as much as you want (within reason, let’s keep in mind I will also be working), but will limit to once a day unless additional photos are requested, in order to preserve your peace during your time away. I am fine with additional animal maintenance tasks (for example, do you live on a lake and your dog loves to go for muddy swims and needs a hose-off or a bath, or perhaps needs an inhaler) but again, please note that these can affect rate depending on time and labor expectation, so please communicate in advance. Additional animals beyond two cats or one dog will result in raised rates. Thank you!

Pets
Large breed/high-need experienced
Pet care experience
I’ve always had dogs, and have fostered (to adopted) medically high needs dogs, and have experience with bronchial scarring, incontinence, kidney dysfunction, partial blindness, deafness, hip dysplasia, leash reactivity, anxiety, etc. My own dog is a GSD-St Bernard mix so I am well versed in ultra large breeds.
Cat care experience
Emily also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
