Safety, trust & environment

At home, my pets are truly family, and their care reflects that every day. I feed my German Shepherd, Grischa and Boxer mix, Elsa, every morning and evening with their vitamins, fish oil, and allergy medication, and my cat Brey gets his meals on the same schedule. I scoop the litter box daily to keep things fresh, and the dogs enjoy multiple trips to our fenced backyard — staying out as long as they want when the weather is nice. They get healthy treats throughout the day, but only after a good shake, spin, stay, or another fun trick. Caring for them is part of my routine and one of my favorite parts of the day.

Pet care experience

Animals have been part of my life since I was three years old, and I’ve loved every whisker, wag, and wiggle along the way. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even fish — if it has paws, fur, or fins, it’s had a place in my home and my heart. Over the years, I’ve gained hands‑on experience with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable administering medication and supporting pets through illness, always with patience and gentle care. I treat every animal like family, because that’s exactly what they’ve always been to me. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, a slow stroll, or just a friendly face, I’m here to make their day brighter and keep their tail wagging.

I’ve trusted Emily with my Doberman for the past five years, and she has been nothing short of exceptional. She cared for my dog from the puppy stage, helping with early potty training, daily walks, and all the energy that comes with a growing Doberman. Emily has always been patient, reliable, and genuinely loving toward her, treating her like family. One of the things I appreciated most was how communicative she was — she consistently sent photos and updates, which gave me total peace of mind whenever I was away. My dog absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. Emily is responsible, attentive, and truly gifted with animals. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Emily is an experienced pet owner and caregiver that I’ve worked with for almost 20 years. She does excellent with all kinds of different breeds and has knowledge of dog training. She would be an amazing caregiver and make sure every detail is meet when caring for your animals.
