Experienced graduate student

Pet care experience

A little bit about me: I am a graduate student at Indiana University studying music performance. Since I was two years old, my family has always owned animals. In addition to my own pets, I have been caring for other people’s pets for eight years. Animals in general seem to gravitate towards me, even the most shy and/or unfriendly of pets tend to taking a liking to me very soon after I meet them. I treat other people’s pets like I would want my own to be treated, and I don’t believe in just “stopping by”. When I am not watching pets overnight, I always stay and visit for at least 20 minutes. I love to send pictures of pets to their owners and give small updates daily or every other day. I will always take it upon myself to make sure your pet has a safe, clean home environment while you are gone. Whether that means cleaning out food and water dishes, picking up pet messes, or straightening a room up so your pet has plenty of room to play safely, I will always go above and beyond so that your pet feels comfortable and at ease while you are away. I do request an introductory meeting, either over the phone or at your home, before accepting reservations with new clients. This allows you the opportunity to get to know me better, and I can get to know more about your pet’s needs and your expectations. That way we both can decide if this is a good fit for everyone before we make a solid commitment to each other. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Limitations: 1) Although I love big dogs, I cannot accept reservations for Pitbulls, Pit Mixes, German Shepherds, or any Bully breeds. 2) I cannot accept reservations for dogs that are not neutered or spayed. 3) I cannot accept reservations for aggressive dogs. 4) If daily medication is needed for your pet, a higher fee may be assessed if appropriate. 5) Dog walks limited to homes no more 3.5 miles away. 6) Overnight stays limited to homes no more than 5 miles away.

Two qualities that come to mind when thinking of Emily’s care for dogs are passionate and knowledgeable. I can always tell that she knows how important it is for my pets to be treated well, and her love for all animals clearly shows in how she cares for my dogs. She is also very punctual and organized, always arriving right on time and doing all she can to keep my dogs on their normal routine. I am 100% confident every time I’ve asked her back to take care of my dogs that they are getting the love and care that they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home and pet like I would want my own to be treated. For overnight visits or stays, I always send photos and updates. For walks or short visits, I always make sure I have 20 min at minimum to spend with your pet, even if it is just to pop in and feed them!

Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any specials needs or behavior to account for. Ex: extremely hyper, “escape artist”, wary of strangers, needs medication, etc. As stated above, I cannot accept reservations for Pitbulls, Pitbull mixes, German shepherds, Bully breeds, dogs that have not been spayed or neutered, or aggressive dogs. An additional fee may be assessed for medications if appropriate.

A typical day

I will always make sure that I have time to interact with your pet on top of the time it takes to feed them and administer any medication. I would never want my pets to feel lonely when I am gone- so I always make sure to treat animals with the same respect I’d want for my own.

I am currently on summer break, so my days are very flexible. I can organize my day to suit every pet’s needs when you are away, within reason. Please tell me what your pet’s typical food and/or walking schedule is, and I will do my best to accommodate it so your fur baby stays right on schedule!
