Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 13! I helped with neighborhood pet sitting and cared for animals with various needs (medications, disability, etc). In my senior year of high school, I was an intern at my local veterinary hospital! I grew up with three cats, and I rescued another in October. I really love animals and especially miss taking care of dogs. Im in Blacksburg for the summer so feel free to book my services or reach out with any questions!

Emily is reliable friendly, and an excellent walker. She handles my 90 lb. Great Dane mix comfortably and does a great job!
