Caring for your pet is my passion

Pet care experience

My name is Emily. I'm a very active person who enjoys spending time outside running, hiking, and walking; I also love animals! I've had pets my entire life. I grew up surrounded by my parents' dogs and cats. Beginning in high school, I started caring for their pets any time they were out of town - walking their dogs (ranging in size from chihuahua to great dane), administering medication to the special needs pets, feeding/watering, playing, and snuggling. My family was also very involved in fostering animals, which meant spending time throughout my adolescence volunteering at local animal shelters and helping to care for the animals my parents brought home to foster (bottle feeding baby kittens, administering medication to special needs animals, giving extra love and attention to animals that had been scared by life in the animal shelter). I also spent some time volunteering with a wildlife rehabilitation center in Virginia, where I helped to care for injured wildlife. I currently have two pets of my own - one dog and one cat - and they are a constant source of love and joy in my life. If you're looking for someone who will extend care and love to your dog and adapt to whatever activity level is most comfortable to them, then please feel free to reach out!

I have known Emily for about 2 years and our friendship began through our mutual love of four-legged family friends. Every animal Emily comes into contact with is greeted with pure joy and compassion. Not only do her eyes light up when she sees a dog (or cat), but animals are always happy to see Emily, too! Emily takes great care of her own special needs dog, and I have enjoyed watching her raise a boisterous kitten into adolescence and adulthood with patience and humor. While I do not have any dogs, I have trusted Emily to come into my home to care for and keep my two cats company when I could not be there. Even my scaredy-cat comes out to get the "purr-fect" pets and an occasional treat from Emily!

Emily would be a fantastic dog walker or dog sitter. She has been around animals her whole life and is patient and loving towards all furry family members. She has experience with special needs animals and is great at following specific instructions and needs for your furry friends. Emily is responsible and respectful and would be a loving caregiver to any fur baby.

Safety, trust & environment

I realize some dogs are more outgoing and extroverted while others are a little more shy and hesitant to warm up to strangers. I'm happy to accommodate both by adapting my behavior to what is most comfortable to your dog. I also recognize some dogs might have special needs or difficulty getting around, and I'm also happy to accommodate walking routes, activities, etc. with these specific concerns and limitations in mind!

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

Please me know if your dog has any special needs or if there's anything that I should be aware of in advance. I am comfortable walking dogs who bark at other dogs, pull on the leash, etc. but I do appreciate knowing that information in advance so I know how to navigate (or potentially avoid) interactions with other dogs.

A typical day

I am most familiar with the Highland Park neighborhood, but I'm also open to exploring new places. Your dog(s) could spend time with me exploring the neighborhood, adventuring around the park, or visiting the dog park.
