Availability
While I may be a part time student and work full time, I understand the importance of caring for your furry friends. Spending adequate time and giving them the love and attention they need is extremely important to me; I work to create a one-on-one bond with your pet to ensure they feel loved while their owners are away! I ask that owners let me know AT LEAST 3 days in advance if they need my care. I work full time during the week and depending on my schedule, I may not be able to stop in mid day to check on your pets. However, depending on your location, I can make a quick stop during my lunch break (1 hour lunch break) to check on your pet during my full work days.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently have a German shepherd and 2 cats. While I do not board animals in my own home for the safety and well being of my pets and yours, I do offer the option to stay in your home with your pets! This is something I have done numerous for different people. Whether it’s stopping by to let the dogs out, or spending the night with your cat, I am there for you!
Information Emily P. would like to know about your pet
I ask to know about your pets medical and behavioral background. If your pet has underlying health conditions like allergies, anxiety, diabetes, etc. it is extremely important for me to know this ahead of time so I can provide the proper care for them! This allows me to adjust my schedule if needed. If your pet is not update on vaccines, it is important for me to keep your pet away from other pet during times like walks or park visits to ensure they are safe. It is also important to know their behavioral tendencies. For example, is your pet afraid of storms or loud noises like fireworks? Is your pet animal aggressive? These things are important so I can plan out the best visit with them without acquiring any unnecessary stress.
A typical day
Getting outside to explore is one of my favorite activities for dogs. Allowing them to socialize in the dog park and run off all their extra energy is my go to when pet sitting. Car rides are another fun thing I like to take dogs on! Getting your pet involved in a new environment can be enriching for them, even if it’s just a quick trip to Starbucks!

I’m a recent Purdue University graduate, obtaining a degree in animal science! I currently work as a veterinary technician while also studying for my masters degree in animal science. My future plans are to attend veterinary school! I have lots of experience ranging for puppies and kittens, to Holstein cattle and chickens, to even California sea lions and harbor seals! Caring for exotics is no problem for me as I have lots of experience with numerous species! I’m qualified in administering any and all medication types and can even provide some light grooming like nail trimming!

Reviews
I keep forgetting to write this!! Emily did a wonderful job with Tucker! He was healthy and in good spirits when we got home. You never would know we had been gone, which is always our goal when we leave him with someone. Also, our home was the same as we left it! Thank you, Emily! We will definitely be asking you to stay again!
