Active Sitter & Walker!
Pet care experience
I'm an active west sider and work remotely. I offer pet sitting, dog walking and horse exercising services in the Grand Rapids area. I'd love to include your dog on my walks or watch your pets in your home. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits and turtles. Some additional info: I was raised on a farm and have always had a dog in the family and was an equestrian athlete for many years. I am familiar with canine behavior, basic medical care, and have experience working with puppies, adult and senior dogs. Some of my favorite activities involving dogs include going on hikes, running, and agility training.
Reviews
Emily did a wonderful job with our Australian Shepherd, Leo. She communicated well, sent adorable pictures, and left our house perfectly clean. Emily was great at understanding Leo’s special needs and left us feeling so at peace leaving Leo with her. He had an awesome time filled with walks and socialization! We would highly recommend Emily!
Emily was great! Good communication, dogs were happy, respectful, left house in great shape. She was able to be flexible with dates which was super appreciated, especially over the holidays
Emily was great with our dog! We felt very comfortable leaving him with her. Our pup had so much fun he’s been sleeping for hours since we picked him up.
Emily was great! She watched our puppy for a weekend and we received lots of pictures and videos. It looked like our puppy was having a great time and she slept the entire day after we got her home. We will definitely be reaching out to Emily for future trips.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My approach is to always reinforce good behavior and provide structure while having fun with the dog. I love seeing dogs and their owners overcome both physical and mental obstacles and find working with dogs very rewarding.
Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet
-Has your dog ever shown aggression with people or other dogs? If so, what are you doing to control or avoid the behavior? -Is there anything in particular you are currently working on? (i.e. commands, stopping bad habits, socialization, etc.) -Does your dog get anxious? If so, what helps soothe them?
A typical day
We'll go hiking on local trails, walk around the neighborhood, and play your dog's favorite game. Let me know if your dog has a favorite activity or if you are working on a certain trick and I'll be sure to incorporate it into our daily routine.
