Emily K.

I am an elementary teacher and my husband works in IT, often from home. We have 3 fur babies - small, medium & pleasantly plump! We absolutely love dogs and our dogs love dogs! We currently have 3 females (4-11 years old). If you would prefer your dog not be around other dogs or is dog aggressive, I will be happy to provide home visits for you. We have 2 very high maintenance dogs and are well known & respected at our vet. We have a yard with a privacy fence and a screened-in porch. Our dogs are indoor dogs. We have the space to allow your dog(s) to maintain their current standard of living.
If your dog gets anxious during the day or you are gone for a long period, I can provide dog walking/potty breaks for you throughout the day at your home during June and July. Please contact me for pricing for home visits and walking/potty breaks.

About this sitter:
I am a dog lover at heart. My husband and I currently have 3 dogs: a Pug, Springer Spaniel, and Lab Mix. I know how hard it is to find someone to help take care of your dog(s) to the standard you provide. For this reason, I am offering my services to you. I am a teacher so I am available all summer. Whether it's a mid-day walk or a week long vacation, I can help take care your pup's needs. If you would like 24/7 care for your dog, I can watch your dog in my home. Several requirements for your dog to stay in my home: not dog aggressive (we have 3 female dogs), must potty trained and non-destructive. We have a fenced yard and screened in porch in addition to our home, so your dog will be comfortable whether they are used to staying inside or outside.

Why I love dog sitting
I've been a dog lover since I was a baby. I am an only child and have always had at least 3 dogs living with me. My dogs live indoors and are truly my babies. I don't believe dogs are just animals. Our dogs are very different: Pug, Springer Spaniel and Lab mix. They have very different personalities and needs. Fulfilling those needs individually allows them to be happy in their home and allows me to have a closer bond with them.

My experience administering medication
Yes. We have 2 high maintenance dogs, so medication, ointment, etc is fine.
