Lots of exercise and love!

Pet care experience

I’m an Animal Control Officer in a near by town, have worked as a vet tech and groomer in the past, so I know how important it is to give an animal the love, care, and attention they deserve. I am an active person, so I give my three dogs lots of exercise to ensure they get a great nights sleep! I am trained on double leash, prong, halti. I am CPR trained, I know how to break up dog fights, I am gentle, and knowledgable. Just because they are pets, doesn't mean they aren't family. I am an avid foster parent for cats and dogs with local rescues as well. I have experience with puppies, blind and deaf dogs, elder dogs, pregnant dogs and cats, and ferals. I have a great deal of flexibility within my job to care for animals whether it be go for a walk, drop in, over nights, etc! I also am able to care for farm animals. I grew up on a farm, and have a little farm myself!

Emily is so wonderful! She handled my complicated situation with ease and humor - we have four cats, one of which is diabetic, another of which needs to be pilled once a day, the other two who are scared of everything and just need attention. This was our first time away with the four cats being together after a recent move in and knowing Emily’s background and just the way she was when she came to meet everyone left me very reassured that everything would be great. And i was not disappointed! She was super communicative during her visits, sending pics and updates, and confirming when I would be back to make sure there wouldn’t be a gap in care. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing animal care!!

Emily is the absolute best sitter. She goes over and beyond in her care. I would recommend her strongly. She is the absolute best caregiver.

Emily really has been a lifesaver for us when we have long days away from our big baby. She is able to handle our Newfoundland even when he is super excited at the beginning of walks and is very reliable. Can't say enough good things about her. Will definitely continue to use her in the future.

Emily took amazing care of our senior cat, chickens, and 2-month-old chicks while we were away on vacation for several days. It was wonderful having peace of mind that our animals were in great hands. Everyone was happy and healthy when we returned, thriving as though we had never been away. We are so grateful for Emily!

Any specials needs, behaviors, history, medication the animal may have that would be beneficial to myself when caring for the animal! I am open to new things though!

I love to stimulate the animals mentally and physically. Lots of walks, playtime, games, training, sleeping, walking, hiking, swimming, etc! I believe in breaks so they don’t overstimulate and one on one time.
