This program gave me a lot of experience with crate training/acceptance for puppies along with basic obedience skills, and house manners all acquired using positive reinforcement and "puppy parties". You can trust me to take the best care of your dog and well as instill manners with training methods similar to guide dog education. I have always been around dogs and I pride myself in knowing how to adjust to their needs. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I have a lot of experience with older, "geriatric" dogs. My first dog I ever adopted was 12 years old! I know how to keep them comfortable and monitor them carefully while you are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I previously worked at a small animal veterinary hospital for 5 years, which gave me plenty of experience around all types of animals. I was responsible for all of their needs while they stayed at the hospital; including medicating and and monitoring after a long stay or surgery. I took pride in myself with my ability to keep them clean, safe, healthy, and happy. This position also gave me crucial experience in emergency medicine along with proper judgment when it comes to sick or injured animals.

Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know ahead of time if they tend to be aggressive (towards other dogs, food, or possessions). Also, please include a list of their medications, medical history, veterinary information, and emergency plans.

A typical day

All activities! Walking, running, trails, swimming, snuggling, and plenty of treat giving! I enjoy enrichment activities and look forward to making memories with your pets!

Pet care experience

Well I am sure everyone on this pawesome app is an avid animal lover, so what sets me apart from the rest? I am an animal enthusiast with many years of various experience under my belt. After growing up a child who loved all creatures and filled her time with animal drawings and paintings, in college I decided to become a certified Puppy Raiser through Guiding Eyes for the Blind, a non-profit internationally accredited guide dog school. It is not a title given out to anyone, I completed the required education and am recognized as a trainer. I have raised/trained a total of one guide dog candidate named Jester. I had him for a total of 14 months. During my experience, I was responsible for all of his health, exercise, food, education and happiness. I also participated in puppy-swaps with other dogs in the program and sometimes I took care of multiple dogs at once. I plan on raising many guide dogs in my future!

I tend to have last second requests for dog sitting and a Emily is more than happy to accommodate when she can.

Communicative, cares for my fur family, and truly went above and beyond. My first time having a pet sitter I didn't already know before hand and would book Emily again in a heartbeat if I need the services.

Emily was wonderful to work with and gave my puppy some much needed playtime while I had a long day away. As well as potty opportunities and meals of course! Would absolutely work with her again, Sweet Pea seemed to love her straight from our first meeting.
