Safety, trust & environment

I feel very comfortable with all animals. My rescue work has taught me how to work well with terrified or aggressive animals, and I have a lot of patience. I feel comfortable crating dogs if that is requested, as well as walking very big or very strong dogs.

Pet care experience

Starting when I was only two years old, I became the neighborhood dog walker. Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, turtles, hamsters, rabbits, lizards, birds, and more. In 2020, I began my own cat rescue and to date have saved 40 stray/feral cats and kittens. I have experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, and am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid. My house is full of fur babies - I have a pit bull and three cats of my own. I know how stressful it can be to go away and leave them, and I hope to alleviate some of that stress! ❤️

You can immediately tell how much Emily genuinely cares about animals. She is so patient and calm with scared/fearful animals and has their best interests at heart. She has experience with dogs from ~10-100 pounds. She has worked with animals with dog aggression, food aggression, and even people aggression. Emily provides updates and photos while you are away; you will be glad you booked with her!
