Kind-hearted Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 16 years old. I have been reliable with feeding, walking, running, playing, and bathing dogs especially. Multiple family members have trusted me to care for their dogs while they work or go on a week long vacation. I am very diligent when it comes to feeding and potty breaks. I have been successful in training puppies to sit, stay, lay down, and shake paw. I have also helped elderly dogs with patiently walking them and allowing plenty of breaks for them to sit once they get tired. No dog under my care has ever gotten hurt or has strained themselves with more exercise than they can handle at their stage in life. I currently am available anytime your pets need me! I am not available on Sundays due to church attendance and other Christian duties for that day. I am not usually available on Saturdays, but I can be flexible. Weekdays, I usually can take care of your pets up until 5pm. I can take care of your dog in your home! We would have to make an arrangement if you require me to take care of your beloved pet at my house. I am very willing to be flexible for you!

Emily and her husband took great care of our pups while we were at work! They seemed very happy and tuckered out by the time we got back home. Will definitely use her again for walks!

Emily was wonderful with our Pomeranian and Yorkie. She gave them plenty of protected outside time, scheduled feeding, medicine and lots of love. She kept us informed of their well-being and antics and sent us pictures and videos. We will definitely call Emily next time we need a Rover sitter.

Emily has always had a dog in her family/life. She talks to them, plays inside and outside with them, teaches them ticks, and cuddles them with love. She also takes on the responsibility of feeding them and even buying food, treats amd toys. Emily loves all animals and is great with them.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very attentive to pets, whether it be walking,sitting,feeding,etc. I love to provide ear scratches and belly rubs (if they like it) and to speak very lovingly to them to get them excited and happy. When taking care of my own dog, I feed him on a regular schedule and always make sure that he has a full water bowl. I would prefer to go above and beyond for a dog rather than to let them be uncomfortable. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away! I am always willing to learn how to take care of your fur baby to the best of my abilities!

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how energetic your dog is before a walk so I can dress accordingly. If your dog likes to run, then I will get my cardio in for the day! Please let me know about any medical issues or special needs your fur baby has. I am very flexible as to how I can properly provide for the best experience possible!

A typical day

I love to play fetch! When it comes to walks, I don’t like to tug on the leash, especially if the dog doesn’t have a halter. If a dog pulls on the leash constantly, I usually will run and jog beside them to help get their energy out so as to lessen the strain on their neck. Noccalula falls is a great place to walk most dogs! It’s a beautiful setting and the nature and wildlife is always refreshing for both dog and me. If your fur baby is reactive, then we can work with them to walk in an area with less wildlife and foot traffic.
