I adore all creatures big and small
Pet care experience
I grew up with three dogs in the house, all different sizes. I continue to care for my 14 year old lab mix and have been caring for her full time since I was 13. I love dogs and cats more than people and spending more time with them always makes me a better person. I am comfortable with medication routines as well as any normal needs your pup may have. I am an active 28 year old freelance writer and photographer, so you know I'll be sure to share pics of your pet while you're away! I've also spent a significant amount of time volunteering at local shelters and was the organizer of an annual pet shelter donation drive for a few counties throughout West Virginia and Virginia. Animals and their welfare are one of my true passions in life. Thanks for reading and hope to meet you soon! 🐱🐾🐶
Reviews
Emily was wonderful with Jux! Not only was she able to take on the request last minute, but was super responsive, wanted to know precise care instructions to ensure Jux was happy, and kept me updated while I was out of town with visit updates! I am sure I will be requesting Emily again for dog sitting Jux during any future business trips, and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an above qualified and caring new friend for their dog or cat!!!
Absolutely the best. First time I’ve ever left my “babies with anyone other than family and I can’t even explain how thrilled I am.
Emily has wat he'd my animals for me multiple times. My dog and cats love her. My snake is indifferent, as usual. She follows all instruction for care, and really give them the individual love they need when I'm away.
Emily has sat with our pets probably a dozen times! She's kind, caring, attentive to their needs and they all absolutely love her. We've come home late at night and found her asleep on the couch curled up with our most skittish cat, who was happily purring away! I will never hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter! If you want your pets to be loved and taken care of while you're gone, Emily is the person to call!

Unfortunately, I cannot offer boarding services at this time, but I am happy to drive to your home to provide walks or food and water throughout the daytime and evenings. My elderly dog has a lot of medical needs, so any special requests will not be a problem as long as sufficient instructions are provided 😊
Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet
It is important to me that I know your dog's medical history, if applicable. I am more than capable in emergencies, as long as the background information is provided. I'd prefer to schedule meet and greets with any new pet parents to be sure your pet if comfortable with me as a caregiver. I find pets are usually much more comfortable if they know you are a "friend of mom and dad" and I want them to have the best experience possible with me!
A typical day
I enjoy taking pups on local short trails, or in their favorite neighborhood. Dogs that I've cared for in the past would give my fetch game a 10/10 barks :) I am also happy to accommodate any pet with slower paced needs with a quick potty break and some couch cuddles or indoor play.

Availability
I’m a freelance photographer and writer, looking to live a more active lifestyle. I’d love to take your pups on a midday potty break, or provide your kitties with some attention and a snack ☺️ I am also available after 6 p.m. most weekdays and from morning to evening on the weekends!
