Availability
I am a full-time graduate student at CSU but have dog and cat sat many times while being a student. I care for my own friends/families pets and friends nearby! I tend to either spend the night or visit their pets two to three times daily (depending on owner preference). So, close proximity is a must for me to be able to visit as much as possible. I am able to stay over in peoples homes all days of the week!

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can provide any services needed. My ten+ years experience in the veterinary field have allowed me to become adaptable to any situation and pet necessity. For example, if I housed a small dog they would live in my home as they would in there’s- I would keep their same feeding, walking, play, and exercise routines. The same would be for if I were staying at an owners house, I would keep it as consistent for the dog or cat as possible! I would also double check with an owner before taking any pet to the park or certain hiking areas. I would love a meet and greet first of course to make sure the owner and I are on the same page! Regardless though, your dog or cat will be well cared for and loved!
Information Emily O. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortably with all breeds of dogs and cats. I would like to know prior if they have any health needs, foods allergies, likes and dislikes, favorite places to be scratched, favorite toys, in need of daily medication administration, etc. Especially with dogs- I would like to know if they are comfortable with other dogs in case we interact with other dogs on our walks or at the park. Cats- it’d be nice to know if they’re friendly or scaredy cat so I don’t over stimulate them or if I can play with them when I’m over!
A typical day
I would love to get to know what your pet likes! Personally, I love taking my dog on long walks at the beach, we go on hikes and runs together. If you dog is as active as mine, I’d find some neat trails to explore! Or if they love dog parks and fetch, we can do both! If your dog is a homebody who loves to cuddle and play indoors, same goes! I want to get to know your dog or cat and their lifestyles so I may better suit their needs.

Pet care experience
As a veterinary assistant, I am highly qualified to care for your furry pets in any realm! I’ve always had a love and adoration for animals so I promise I will treat your pet as my own. I have a Bachelor's of Science in Biology with a Chemistry minor and an option in Pre-Veterinary Medicine from Oregon State University. I just came back for the summer from Colorado where I acquired a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University. I recently finished the first year of Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and plan to be a veterinarian some day! I am only back in California for the summer so I like to petsit while home! Working and learning in the vet med field, I have come to understand a great deal about dog and cat related biological functions as well as behavioral importance’s. I have dog and cat sat for family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers for 10 years and have loved every second of it. I own one cat in Fort Collins and have a beloved family dog in SoCal. I grew up with a lot rabbits and small rodents though :) I’ve had just about any pet you can think of! I am capable of completing any task needed from walking, feeding, bathing to hiking, dog parks, swimming, administering medications (injectables or oral), monitoring glucose rates, etc. I really do care about making sure your pet is happy and comfortable!

Reviews
Great sitter and very attentive to our dog. Kept great communication and was very friendly.
Emily was amazing! She took such great care of my energetic doggies and sent tons of photo updates that put my mind at ease! She asked all the right questions and kept everything super tidy! It was so nice to come home to happy dogs and a clean home! You can really tell she loves what she does!
Took such great care of my cat and sent us many photos of what he was up to!
Emily is a pet-sitting all star!! She was very communicative, punctual, flexible. We got awesome photos and videos of her with each of our pets on a regular basis, and it was clear they weren’t photo shoots but genuine captures of the quality time she was spending with them. We felt very comfortable, and comforted, by how well she took care of our cat and medicine administration - after all she is a vet in training! We have a skittish dog who can take awhile to warm up to new faces, especially when we’re not present, so it was pretty incredible to see her on the couch and affectionate with Emily!! Emily has a way with animals and is a friendly, lovely person to interact with as well. She’s going to be an amazing vet!! We felt lucky to have her at our home. Oh, and she even washed the sheets and towels before we got home! Six stars. :)
