Safety, trust & environment

I always try to use the available tools at the location so your pet is comfortable and knows what to expect. Any wet food I give a pet I try to cut up to minimize choking unless asked not to. I make sure water is available at all times unless stated otherwise. When bathing dogs I do not fill up tubs to minimize water risks. I will only use dog/cat approved shampoos on the appropriate pet.

Information Emily G. would like to know about your pet

Always let me know if you dog has any illness, disability or request so I can best fit my care around your pet's needs! I try to be extra patient with senior dogs.

A typical day

I love playing fetch with dogs and I love playing mouse with cats! Keeping a pet active while I'm watching them is my goal as I know our furballs can get bored and sometimes lonely! For dogs, this can look a lot like a nice 20 minute walk with play time and a 10 minute break afterwards. I always try to participate in what the dog wants, like chasing and running with your dog! For cats, depending on how active and cuddly they are, this will shape my care and routine but... I like giving cats plenty of treats they deserve! Let me know what type of environment your pet wants to be in as I'll try to make that happen. (Some pets like TV and air conditioning unit noises while others may not.)

Pet care experience

I have 5+ years of caring for my own pets, both cats and dogs. I have 1+ experience of caring for elderly dogs. I love bathing and grooming dogs! For cats and anxious or hostile pets, I respect their boundaries and try to tend to their needs as best as possible. I have anxiety so I try my best in reading a pet's behavior before interacting with them! I always customize my appointments and care for each individual pet that I'm looking over.

Oso is a little hard to handle, but Emily did great. She arrived on time and sent updates throughout his walk. He definitely liked her and was content after his walk. Great attitude and attentive to my instructions for Oso. Thank you!
