Paw-catching personality

Pet care experience

In addition to growing up with dogs I starting working professionally with them at the age of 13 at my local animal shelter. Since then, I have worked with dogs in a variety of contexts, lending me experience with many different breeds and personalities. I have one year's experience as a veterinary technician and have knowledge of primary medical care in additional to the skills necessary to dealing with more anxious dogs. I focus on building a trusting and consistent relationship with dogs in order to foster a positive experience for them while they are out of the comfort zone of their own homes. I focus on positive reinforcement in whatever form you as an owner will approve of -- treats, praise, clicker, toy... etc. My main goal is to make you feel comfortable knowing your dog is in safe, caring hands. Please feel free to ask me any additional questions upon contact.

Emily was the absolute best to our two dogs! They are both a bit of a handful, but we felt so comfortable having her watch them, she is way more experienced with animals than we are so our night out of town was worry free! She sent us a little update and emailed us the sweetest pics of them playing! We know they had a great time with Emily, she is the BEST!

Emily has been a great help to me with my cat, from administering subcutaneous fluids when I couldn't stomach or manage it, to staying with her at my home and taking care of her night and day when I'm out of town. My cat is cantankerous, and Emily handles her wonderfully. My cat is also elderly and on multiple medications and I know when I leave her with Emily that she's in good hands.

At a very young age, I knew Emily would be a responsible, reliable, loving animal care taker. She displayed these attributes early on in life starting with her desire to volunteer at our local animal shelter at a young age. Her mature intelligence and defined hard work is what helped her land a full scholarship to Reed College to extend her education in biology leading to an animal involved career. Her employment with a local veterinarian office gave her leverage in gaining additional knowledge of animal behavior. With that experience, Emily has held many dog/cat sitting positions for clients from the vet office as they witnessed Emily's kindness and loving way that she handled their pet. Emily loves pets with all her heart, cares about their well-being, and is very astute to their needs. Emily is very reliable, and always keeps her commitments. I would recommend her at any time to be a pet sitter.
