Loving dog walker/ pet sitter available!

Pet care experience

I am currently in grad school pursuing my degree in mental health counseling. In my free time, I have my own dog walking and pet sitting business. I absolutely love animals and I have many years of experience with almost all breeds of dogs and cats. At home I have a yellow lab and 3 cats, who are my entire life! I have many great local references, and I promise I will provide your pet with the same love and care that you would while you're away. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks for reading!

Emily has cared for my two dogs for years now. She stays at my house when I go away and she walks them whenever I'm not available. Not only is she a kind and caring person but she absolutely loves the dogs and I always know they are in great care. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their animals.

Emily took care of my two dogs. She was extremely responsible and made herself available to me when I needed. She would take my dogs on long walks and if I needed her to, she would stay over night. Emily is very friendly, trustworthy and reliable. I would highly recommend her to anyone else with dogs.

My experience administering medication Yes, I have given dogs medication countless times. I would always take time to learn the owners preferences for how to administer the medication before the owner goes away.

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

Before I sit for a dog, I would need to know how they act around other dogs, other people and if they have any situations in which they are uncomfortable. I would also need to know if they have any special needs, such as medications or if they are anxious in thunder storms. I also ask that all of my clients leave a list of emergency contacts and numbers where they can be reached. I do not have any breed aversions as long as the dog is friendly and I get to know them a little before the owner goes away.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog I usually walk the dog in the morning when I wake up, then once around 1pm and then again around dinner time. Some nights I stay in the house from dinner time on, but if I am going out for dinner then I take care of the dog before I go, and come back around 10pm and stay until around 10am the next morning. Some people ask that I spend more time with their dogs, and I can always accommodate that. I do charge an extra fee though, for my extra time. Most people are understanding of that! Extra house-sitting services Of course! It is my job to take care of things while you're away so that you are free to focus on enjoying your trip!

Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life! I have owned a dog since I was 5 years old. I grew up with a German shepherd and a beagle. Once they passed, my family could not be without a dog, so we got another German shepherd mix. I also have a long haired chihuahua. This was my first experience owning a toy dog and she has such a big personality! Currently she lives with my parents because my yellow lab will not tolerate her. Anyway, I currently live with my yellow lab, Samantha, and my three cats! I have been walking dogs professionally for the last 3 years and there is nothing I would rather do as a job! I love every minute of getting to know the dogs and forming a close bond with them. I care for every dog I walk and pet sit as if they were my own.
