I have to give my dog her oral meds on a strict schedule every day and check her for side effects throughout the day, such as bruising, thirst, blood in the stool… I monitor her daily for all of this as well as giving her outside time every couple of hours to run, play ball or tug-of-war, and then end of day walkies. I definitely have her built into my every day routine. I plan my weeks around her appointments and pill times.

Safety, trust & environment

My top most consideration is always what does my pet need and what do they expect of me for their unique day-to-day? Do they like to snuggle or do they want to run outside? I like to consider what the specific pet needs out of me and accommodate. My girl is very anxious and high energy so she needs lots of running time, but she also loves her night time cuddles before bed. I will care for pets the way they need me and that’s on their terms because they’re all different.

Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs that need attention, such as medications, training they’re working on or reactivity issues. I will do my best to respect their needs and adjust accordingly for their day.

A typical day

I love a mix of exercise and cuddle time with my girl so if your pets are up to it, that is what I’ll bring for them! Tug-of-war and fetch are my personal go to’s but every animal is different. I’m also partial to cuddle time and belly rubs into a nice nap with some tricks-for-treats thrown in.

Pet care experience

I am a true animal lover. I’ve had dogs my whole life, but also lived with cats, medium dogs, even the largest dogs (I used to have a St. Bernard so I’ve seen it all.) I’m hoping to get some extra walkies in with new fur friends here and there. Or maybe check up on your fur baby while you’re at work or out of town. I treat all animals like my own and will respect them just like I do with my own sensitive girl.

No lie she was amazing! Definitely rebooking if give the chance. She communicated so well and was really thorough with what was asked. Bonus she left place as clean as I left it:) definitely felt like it was a family member caring for my pups with the level of care she put in!

Emily is incredibly responsible, patient, and genuinely loves animals. I have seen how attentive and thoughtful she is with pets, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Any pet owner would be lucky to have someone so dependable and caring looking after their animal. I trust Emily wholeheartedly with my own pets and have no doubt that she would take great of them.
