Your local dog pal!

Pet care experience

**UPDATE: Prices have changed slightly ! If you have already booked or pending you will be charged the original rate given to you** Hi everyone! Let's start this off on a great note! My name is Emily! I adore animals, am very patient with all breeds and will take care of your animal to the best of my abilities! I have worked as a dog walker and sitter for family and friends for a while and they believe I have a "niche". I can't wait to become your friend and most importantly, your dog's friend! Why I love dog sitting Ever since I was a child I have adored dogs. Normal kids watched cartoons and played cops and robbers, me though? I would snuggle up with the AKC book of breeds and I studied until I knew every dog to my hearts content. Now I want to fully put my knowledge to something I really would like to do. My most recent experience was taking in a mutt that was neglected by my own family member. He was aggressive, mean, and obedient, somehow I loved him. I trained him and opened my heart to him and we both turned into little love bugs. Whenever he needed a snuggle or an adventure, he would would come to me. Sadly he had to be put down due to growing health reasons. He will always have a place in my heart and so does your dog. I will try my hardest, although I'm new, I can show you I am committed. I do take my time to walk and sit my friends and family dogs and they say I'm great, I think of your dog first, care is always number one to me. About my yard I live right in some thin woods so no back yard, although a big front yard is waiting for your dog to play on! I live on an extremely secluded road and not many cars come down (only the neighbors). However there is no fence but I will take extreme precautions regarding that. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with oral medications. I am uncertain about injections but if you're able to show me before hand I would have no problem.

Ollie stayed with Emily for 11 days and had a great time! Emily has a lot of experience with dogs, both her own and dogs she has taken care of, and we felt very comfortable leaving Ollie with her. She sent photos and updates while we were away, and it was wonderful to know Ollie was in good hands. Emily was also communicative and flexible about drop-off and pick-up, which we really appreciated. We would definitely leave Ollie with Emily again and highly recommend her!

This was the first time I left my puppy alone and Emily was wonderful! She sent me lots of photos, kept me up-to-date how the puppy was and made me feel completely secure in the care of my pup! I would definitely leave him with her again. She was great.

Emily is a top notch professional. We had to leave our baby girl here for vacation and we choose Emily to take care of her. As soon as we met for the meet and greet, Emily was the right choice. She is personable, a dog lover and she did everything possible to make us feel comfortable with Ziggy's stay. She sent pics as much as she could, cared for our dogs health and took her for walks whenever possible. I could Ziggy didn't want to leave because she was having so much fun. Thanks Emily!

Information Emily F. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know his exercise habits and how he gets along with other pets. I only have one other dog but she's fairly old. She does wonders with other pets but I would like to know whether or not the dog is more energetic so I can pre-plan with my other pup. I take any breed, size, and color, there's no discrimination on my behalf!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live right next to a bike path. This bike path connects to many parks and wild life sanctuaries, so many hikes will await! If your dog is more of a social butterfly I can walk him in my town center( which I live about a minute away from) where he can meet many other dog pals! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will choose! I have multiple dog beds; One near a cozy fireplace, one in my room, and another in a living room. If your dog is allowed he can stay on either bed or couch and chairs. He can be free roaming snoozer as much as he likes ! I will ask you though if your dog likes sleeping in a crate it would be much nicer if you brought that along with him. Time I'll spend with your dog I love dogs, no scratch that, adore dogs. I don't have a part time job at this point but I am a senior in high school. Please don't let that stop you though, Because I have another family member who works at home who is also committed to stay with the dog and keep him/her company. Once I come home from school I will keep your dog entertained. I live right on a bike path and very close to parks, woods, sanctuaries, in other words, perfect places to keep dogs entertained!
