Taking Precautions Pet Walks.

Pet care experience

********Lets talk Pandemic*********** We have a major problem going on and there are still plenty of people who need help with their pets. I cannot chance having this illness and I know you cannot either. Text me and let’s get something figured out so your dog can go on a walk without the both of us having issues. We can customize my visits I am sure of it. I vow to keep my distance from others while out and about, from you and for you. I vow to take precautions like sanitizing and perhaps using my own leash if we are worried about germs landing on objects. I vow to do a ton of things. Perhaps I can pick your dog up in your yard? Or you may have another idea. I am always down for helpful ways to get the job done :) Give me a shout- I have been self quarantined for 14 days already and am looking for some pooches to safely, walk. I just moved to the DC area (H street what up!!) I am coming from a mix of Rhode Island and South Carolina after having to move quickly over the holidays. I have fantastic history of house sitting and pet sitting for forest fire fighters in the vast valleys in Idaho, loved on furry pals for river guides a long way from home, helped out elderly neighbors with their garden, indoor plants, and beloved pets. Walked an exuberant husky puppy into her adult years (gosh I miss some Icy!) for a great lady. I was given a beautiful job of walking 5 retired greyhounds for a summer and that was extremely wonderful. Not to mention the 5 dogs I’ve grown up with and love dearly and the old man spaniel that my partner and I adopted in the last 3 years. I have way too much experience with cats and boy do I get sad when one doesn’t pay me attention. Fish- I know how to feed fish without upsetting your chemical balance and I know how to spot fish problems as well. Tell your friends, tell your family that I am also offering house plant visits for while you are away for $10/day you have me. I am huge into plants and don’t worry, I’ll follow your directions unlike your neighbor or mom or sister. Everyone waters differently and pots their plants accordingly to that watering system. If you’ve got a schedule, I’m sticking to it. If I see any problems, mites, etc. I will do my best to move things around and alert you to what is happening. There are no dead plants on my watch ❤️ If you need this option, message me first and I will set up a custom visit for you. Thanks! On the outside of this, I am a professional photographer so make sure to subscribe to those photos while I am sitting. You won’t want to miss out on some of that action. ******Let Me Know******* If there's anything during our walks or checks in that you want me to work on like commands that you've been working on with your dog, just let me know and I can also work with them.

If Emily isn't the most caring dog sitter than I have no idea who is. She goes above and beyond dog caring, not because she wants to impress the human owner, but because she derives so much joy from it. Kind but firm, she exudes love out of every pore whilst maintaining healthy limits for the dogs. Watching her babysit two hounds all summer makes me wish that I could be dog under Emily's watch.

Emily has been great sitter for my two pitbull mixes. She has always been on time for letting them out during the week, but knows exactly how to wear them out! She has been a huge help for me since I work during the week, I couldn't recommend her more! No matter the breed or animal Emily is the best around.

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what commands your dog knows well and how you have trained him/her to walk on the leash (if there is anything special to it). I would also like to make sure I know his/her name and if s/he is potty trained, car trained, if s/he has anxiety, allergies, good with other dogs, good with cats, good with kids and an emergency contact I can call if there is an emergency. I have no breed preferences as long as your pet is friendly.

A typical day

I always try to go for a place with the most grass. If it's in a city, I try to find a nearby park to walk to or drive to so that they can have a play time as well. If it is near a beach, I find the sand helps a ton to build up stamina but I am also very cool with walking them on the side of the street (preferably a sidewalk). Easy hiking trails are also really nice to take dogs on.
