Pet Portraitist & Active Dog Walker
Pet care experience
Along with caring for dogs, I am also a part time pet portraitist in the Historic Essex area. Animals have always been a passion for me, and while I have free time over the summer, I would love to be able to spend it with your furry members of the family. I've always grown up with animals of my own, including: rodents, birds, fish, reptiles and dogs. No dog is too small or big for me, with almost 6+ years of volunteer experience from my local non-kill shelter, as well as 10+ years with my own dogs. At the shelter I was responsible for dog walking, kennel cleaning, feeding time, along with some basic obedience training. Throughout my 4 years in high school I attended a specialized 4 year small animal science program which included: dog behavior & psychology, advanced dog grooming, dog training, animal nutrition, canine physical exams, wound management, and canine CPR. I am currently a full time student at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, studying for my BFA in illustration. I hope to make pet portraits and animal care a lasting career.
Reviews
Emily loves all kinds of animals. Along with taking exception care of her own dogs, she has four years experience in an animal tech class from high school where she learned how to take care of all kinds of pets.
Emily is a great person and a very good dog sitter. She fully understands how to control and keep control of an animal in any situation without being forceful. Along with that, she truly loves what she does. You don't see her kind of knowledge and passion for animals in the everyday person. I would trust her with my animals any day.
Emily is great with animals. I have known Emily since Freshman year of high school, 2011. She was apart of the small animal program at Lyman hall and she learned everything from grooming to basic vet tech. She also has trained two of her own dogs. Her pups are very well behaved. She is always kind to my animals and if needed will groom them. If you hire Emily your animals will be in good hands! Also if you ever need a pet portrait done she is your girl.
About Emily H.
Skills
Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet
I am completely unbiased when it comes to breed! Any dog is welcome and I will love all of them equally. Prior to any walking or home visits it would be preferable to know if your animal is prone to, leash pulling, food guarding, dog aggression, people aggression. Is your dog sensitive/have any triggered aggression I should be aware of? Do you require me to use a special lead or collar (head halter/choke collar/no pull harness) when walking your dog?
A typical day
Walks will mainly consist of walking through historic Essex along with trips to the local park by the Connecticut River. I am more than happy to incorporate jogging or any strenuous physically activity for your dog to help exercise them.
