My work schedule right now is monday-friday 7:30-5:00. I have weekends free and home throughout the weekday evenings.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a large yard, but I do live in a town with plenty of safe areas for walking. There is also a dog park not far from my house if your dog is able to roam in a park. I am able to give your pet their own room in my house if they prefer privacy. It is set up for a dog or a cat. I have the ability to crate a dog or puppy if need be. pets are more than welcome on the furniture and bed if that is what they are used to at home.

Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet

If your pet requires any special medication or treatments. Also, if your pet is normally nervous, shy, or scared away from home. That will give me time to prepare my extra room ready for them to have their own private space.

A typical day

As a former dog owner, I enjoy taking dogs out on walks, having play time at home, engaging in stimulating activities, and socializing if your dog is friendly and comfortable enough to do so!

Pet care experience

I have had lots of experience with all kinds of animals. I had a Sheltie from the time I was 7 until she passed away when I graduated high school. As an adult, I have also had a German Shepherd, an Australian Shepherd, and a number of Havanese, so I have experience with dogs of all sizes! I also have farm animal and exotic animal experience. I have raised and taken care of goats, horses, miniature horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and geckos. I now have 4 very spoiled cats. One of them is a diabetic, asthmatic, senior boy. I have plenty of experience dealing with special needs pets. They are my entire world and I think of them as my children. They run this house and they know it! I was a previous house sitter for a family friend. I took care of her many dogs, cats and puppies. She has since retired and is able to stay home with them full time now. I am very knowledgeable in harnesses, litter boxes, puppy training, crate training, dog bathing, and overall reading a pets body language. I love all animals of all shapes and sizes! You can trust your beloved family member is in good hands with me!

Emily is a deeply caring animal lover and our dog loved her immediately. She warmly greeted us and our dog. Actually our dog ran up her stairs without prompting. We are so grateful for Emily’s care and help.
