Safety, trust & environment

I am offering house/pet sitting at this time. Maintaining your pets usual routine in the comforts of their space can definitely be accommodated!. I love spending time with animals and keeping them as comfortable as possible while their parents are away.

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet

I am only 5'3" tall, so walking a large dog could prove difficult to control if they pull. I would also like to know if they have a strong prey instinct and if my indoor/outdoor cat is safe, if they were to be boarded at my house. I would like to know if they have any special needs as well, so I can accommodate them.

A typical day

I love walking up S mountain and on the trails behind it. I like Franz Lake and I love to play fetch. After good exercise, I like to practice any good tricks they might know, then eat then snuggle.

Pet care experience

I have been rescuing animals since I was 5. I have had great dogs in my life and currently have an awesome kitty from the Human Society. Professionaly, I House/Pet sat for months at a time for two beautiful Norweigan Buhunds in the recent past. These are a unique breed and I was honored to be trusted with their care.

I would highly recommend Emily as a dog sitter. She is very personable and dependable. Most of all she is caring, passionate, and loving toward the animals. She took excellent care of our 2 dogs. One is very old and needs a lot of attention and the other is only 1 year old with extra energy to spare. She handled both of them with ease She sent us updates and pictures daily. We returned home greeted by 2 happy pups. Emily is a fantastic dog sitter.
