Animal lover with experience
Pet care experience
I have owned animals my whole life and am aware of all the time and effort that goes into caring for our fur babies. I have 7 animals with my family so know how to handle having multiple pets in one household. I have also had experience working with big dogs, small dogs and cats. On overnight stays, animals will enjoy activities based on their preference and personalities including playtime, walks, cuddling, and lots of rubs. Walks will be suited to the animals level of fitness and be conducted with lots of energy. Drop ins will include detailed checks of food and water supply as well as litter box cleaning if required. My year of experience working at a humane society and a halfway house for cats sets me apart from other sitters. At the Humane Society I was responsible for walking various sized dogs and giving them attention. At the halfway house for cats I was in charge of feeding and playing with the cats. I have a deep love for animals and a passion to be around them and provide for them in any way needed. Pictures will be sent as frequently as desired by the client as I understand how nice it is to see that your animal is doing well but there can also be a limit to how many you want.
Reviews
My 80lb boy took a liking to Emily immediately. She is comfortable with large dogs and I recommend her for anyone with one. Emily sent me pictures to reassure me that BB was in good hands. Emily also works at a vet and that was a plus in the selection process.
Emily was amazing and kept us updated on our pup through out the stay with pics and we felt at ease knowing our dog was well taken care of! Thank you Emily!
Emily was amazing. She was very detailed oriented and connected with our dog instantly. It was a wonderful experience.
Would give 100 stars if they let me. Responsive, great w/ pups, trustworthy!!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat your pets as if they were my own. I keep an eye on the water bowl to ensure it is filled at all times and feed according to the pets schedule. Potty breaks are given as often as needed and walks can be tailored to each animals individual needs. On short term stays, updates can be sent every day or as requested. Longer term stays will usually get updates every other day or as requested or more often if incidents need to be reported to the owners.
Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet
Would love to know what toys the dog or cat enjoys the most. Where is their favorite sports to sleep and where do they like being petted? How many treats are they allowed, if any, and what type? Do they get along with other dogs and strangers? Is there anything that makes them anxious? Love all breeds
A typical day
We will have lots of playtime if the dog enjoys that. Depending on weather we will go on a walk. Some cuddling and chill time. Lots of rubs and attention.

Availability
I am currently doing freelance work and focusing on my pet sitting so I have plenty of time during the day to spoil your furbabies. Pets may be left unattended for short amounts of time if I have a quick errand to attend to or grab some food.
