Responsible Professional Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Emily. I work in student travel, but since I have a flexible schedule I want to start expanding my pet care/dog walking to outside my circle of my friends and family. I grew up with dogs, worked at a kennel as a senior staff member throughout high school and now that I live in walkable Providence, I'm out for hours daily with my own pup! Your dog will get lots of love, exercise and attention. I am very active and am also comfortable with having dogs in my car so a nice long hike is always an option! Or if your pooch is a little older (or lazier) we'll hang out at home and still have fun. Since I was a senior staff member at the kennel, I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am not scared or intimidated by aggressive dogs (they were my specialty at the kennel.) I'm very calm, confident and perceptive around nervous dogs. Most importantly: no matter what kind of dog you have, they are going to have fun, be loved, and be safe with me. I know that dogs are more like family members than pets and I will treat them that way. I am more than happy to meet new clients before I'm hired, although I will say I've never met a dog I didn't like! I'm also happy to call/text/send pictures and updates while you're away. Please feel free to ask me any questions, I'd love to help!

Emily visited and stayed with me over a weekend this summer, which meant she got to meet my dogs, Penny and Patrick. By the end of the weekend we all joked that Emily had become their new "favorite" - they went straight past me to greet her when we got home, they followed her around the house, and they chose her bed to cuddle in the mornings. They always say dogs are the best judges of character, and in my dogs' eyes, Emily passed with flying colors!

Emily is extremely flexible and patient. She understands how to work with dogs of all breeds and provides a calm and stable environment for the dogs in her care. She has a great energy! I would recommend her without reservation.

I can't say enough good things about Emily. I have trusted her to care for my dog in her home for week long stays and she makes me feel completely at ease. She has often taken my dog out to the park and never had any problems with other dogs which is always the wild card. My Shiba Inu is endlessly excited to see her. Emily is great with the dog and that is the important part but also affable and considerate and timely. It has been hard to get someone great with my dog and me! I would recommend her always!

I was nervous to leave my dog, Cricket, for the first time about a year after I got her. However, Emily's care for her put me at ease like I never thought I would be! Emily took care of Cricket for 3 days and the two were obviously sad to leave each other. I feel very comfortable going out of town now, knowing that Cricket is in good hands with Emily - I would recommend Emily to any dog owner.
