Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I have experience working with animals in daycare, boarding, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation, so I understand how important patience, supervision, and routine are. I always respect owners’ instructions and work to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I would love to know about their personality, routine, energy level, and any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, anxious, or needs medication, I always want to make sure I can provide the best and most comfortable care possible for them.

A typical day

A typical day with me depends on each pet’s personality and needs! Some pets love long walks and playtime, while others are more relaxed and just enjoy company and attention. I always make sure pets get plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and time to feel comfortable and settled. I also love sending photo updates so owners know their pets are happy and doing well.

Experienced Animal Behavior student

Pet care experience

I am an Animal Behavior student with professional experience in dog daycare, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation. I have hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, rabbits, small animals, reptiles, and rehabilitating wildlife in both professional and personal settings. Through my education and experience, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and create a safe, calm, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for.
