Emily M.
Professional, experienced animal enthusiast
Pet care experience
I grew up and helped out on a 5 acre small holding. I have experience with horses, cows, pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, fish, small rodents and reptiles. I’m also human and animal first aid trained, insured with pet sanctuary and have also taken dog walking and behaviour courses and qualified with animal care level 3 and a professional reactive dog course. I’m also working my way to be a qualified behaviourist. I advocate for reactive dogs and adapt my walk to each individual dogs needs. I have a 20 m long line for dogs without recall so they can explore safely or utilise local enclosed dog parks. When I stay at the pets home, I’m courteous and neat. We play lots of enrichment games to mentally and physically tire your pooch out. I try to stick as closely to the pets routine when their parents are away to reduce stress. I can collect Keys and drop off keys when communicated.

Reviews
This was our first experience of having a dog sitter for many years but have been very happy with the result. Emily is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. One of ours has problems with strangers and with other dogs but Emily knew how to handle her there seemed to be no problems. We felt quite relaxed while away and had regular updates and photos. The house looked great when we got back!
Emily has been a great cat sitter, dropping in to feed my cat whilst away. She is clearly an animal lover and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend
Great as always with my reactive pointer
Emily was lovely - extremely accommodating (adding another visit to the schedule at short notice) and totally professional. I was worried about leaving Nala for the first time for a whole day and Emily went out of her way to help me and Nala get through the stress. She is very caring and has Nala's best interests at heart.
About Emily M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Pet safety and well being is my main priority. I try and go above and beyond to keep pets safe. Whether in their home or out in public. Dogs must have a collar with emergency contact info on.
Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know commands they know, routes they like to walk, any triggers or phobias to be aware of. I need to know if they have any medical and extra needs during my stay. And of course how many kisses and cuddles to give from you whilst you’re away!
A typical day
I love using mental stimulation to tire pets out. I have a collection of slow feeders and snuffle mats, and enriching smells that I can bring with me for drop ins. On walks I usually start with training for puppies and start them on their leash training journey. Playing food games or toy based games.
Services
Emily can watch in your home
Availability
This is my full time profession for over a year of service. Most dogs walks are between 10am-3pm and drop ins will be usually before or after these times. I’m hoping to start making small groups of dogs for social sessions, and make use of local secure dog fields for safe fun.
