Dog Foster & Veterinary Experience

Pet care experience

I have loved all animals since before I can remember. I went to school to study small animal science and have been helping my family foster dogs for the last 5 years along with having my own cat who I raised since she was a teeny 3 weeks old. I also worked at a veterinary hospital for 2+ years and have a broad knowledge of medication and experience dealing with special needs pups. My family dog Kira has Megaesophagus which is a condition that requires her to sit in a chair to eat and daily medication so I am more than comfortable handling any special needs your fur-baby will need. I also have experience training multiple species of animals so I can continue any training routines you have set in place if need be.

Amazing as always. Incredible communication and I love getting pictures of Bo on his walks. Love the kindness and love Emily gives to our special boy when we can’t be there

Emily did a great job watching our 2 golden doodles. She gave us frequent updates, including pictures and videos so our minds were at ease. We were gone for a week and Emily stayed in our house and took great care of them. I felt really comfortable leaving them in her care.

Emily was great! She is very knowledgeable about animals, and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her for the weekend. She spent quality time with her and made sure she had plenty of food/water, walks and attention. She also was a good house guest.

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure that your pet's schedule is taken care of, whether they are night owls or early risers. I love going on walks myself so the more active breeds are no problem for me but couch potatoes are more than welcome. I like to keep things neat and will always make sure to respect your space and boundaries.

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

I ask that you let me know any medications and times of day that your pet needs them ahead of time. Also if there are certain triggers for your dog (i.e fireworks/loud noises) that may cause your pet extreme fear so I can best prepare and be able to comfort them as they need.

A typical day

I love creating enrichment for dogs to keep them mentally stimulated and for more active dogs I love walking in Valley Forge Park, so if they are down for that I definitely am!

I am currently working a job where I get to work from home. So if you’re going away for a long weekend I can be there during the day or young or older pups.
