Vet Med and Rescue experience
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Emily, and I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! With over three years of experience working in a vet clinic and rescue, I've gained valuable medical expertise in caring for cats and dogs of all ages, including rescue pets. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I've had the pleasure of caring for multiple cats at once, house-sitting for a household of up to six dogs, caring for dog-reactive pets, and have provided support to animals during their recovery from various surgeries, including spays/neuters, dentals, and orthopedic surgeries. I'm also the proud parent of two rescue dogs whom I adore. When I'm not working, you'll find me playing, snuggling, or going on exciting outdoor adventures with my dogs - Lucy and Marceline. As your pet-sitter/dog-walker, I'm more than happy to engage in playtime, ensure they're well-fed, and make sure their water bowls are always full. To provide the best possible care, please provide me with any pertinent information about your pet including medical conditions and behavioral issues. This way, I can be fully prepared to give them the care and attention they deserve. If you have any questions or specific requests, please don't hesitate to ask. Your pet's happiness, well-being, and comfort are my top priorities. I will treat them as one of my own and shower them with affection ❤️ I’m looking forward to meeting your fur-baby soon!
Reviews
Emily is always very conscious and aware of how Dale is reacting or acting during his walks. She recognizes when he is tired or when another dog might stress him out. We always feel safe when Dale is on walks with Emily.
Dale looks forward to seeing Emily! They spend a bunch of time together and the photos Emily sends of Dale shows that he is in wonderful care and so relaxed around Emily.
Our child loves hanging out with Emily! We will always work with Emily first for pet care needs.
Emily is always incredibly kind and attentive to your child.
About Emily E.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have experience using slip-leads over regular clip-on leashes for added security. I also have experience kenneling cats/dogs. Having dealt with leash-reactive dogs, I know when to avoid, distract, and redirect dogs on walks. I have some medical training and know when to contact owners. I can also read the body language of dogs and cats pretty well through my experience and courses I have taken.
Information Emily E. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any medical/behavioral issues, or special needs. Every animal has different needs and personalities with their own unique quirks - the more I know about them, the better!
A typical day
I love to provide mental stimulation to your pets. This can include engaged playtime, exercise, puzzle toys, practicing commands, or getting new sniffs while walking through new and exciting parks.

I work full-time from Monday through Thursday so my availability is limited to the weekends. My scheduling will be limited to allow me to not only care for my own dogs, but for my wellbeing as well.
