Passion for dogs. Experienced!

Pet care experience

Very open availability, plenty of experience, but most of all, dogs are my passion. I'm a 28 year old female who has had dogs all of my life. I have experience grooming, walking, boarding, sitting, and training dogs. I also have experience in the show ring, in both conformation and rally. I was awarded "Best Junior Handler" in 2009 with my then-9-year-old Dachshund, Shortdog. With my dog Jackson, we won the best trick contest at a festival in Nashville, Tennessee, two years in a row. We also won the best trick contest at the Dog Daze of Hendersonville(also in Tennessee) in one of those same years. I've also studied dog information my entire life. I can tell you pretty much anything you want to know about any breed recognized by the American Kennel Club. I just have a natural way with dogs. I've never been bitten(although I'm sure it's bound to happen one day!), because I've always been pretty good at reading their body language and knowing behavior. With 2 dogs, a cat, 2 rats, 2 snakes, and a turtle, pet care takes up a lot of my time, and I love it! I will treat any pet as if it were my own. This means creating a bond and making sure he or she is happy, safe, and comfortable. *****PLEASE NOTE***** If you are looking to board your dog, I do not have a fenced-in yard, so if your dog is highly energetic or not leash-trained, he or she may not do well staying at my home.

Emily is one of the most responsible, caring, and respectable dog sitters I know. She used to be my neighbor for several years and never had an issue with her caring for our pets. She’s a very honest and sweet girl. If u hire her to pet sit I promise u will love her. Casey and Patty C.
