Loving Dog Owner Who Adores Animals

Pet care experience

I've been a pet owner for over 15 years, and take great joy playing with, training and keeping our furry buddies clean and groomed. I enjoy taking my dog on hikes, walks around the local green spaces and to the dog parks to play catch with the other pups. But, cuddling up on the couch is just as nice. I've personally trained on house training, crate training, basic skills and socialization. I like to make sure my pets are continually learning and it's always fun to learn a new trick! I have three dogs and have raised them all since they were puppies, so I know what it takes to be patient and give them time to adapt. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet(s)!

Emily did a great job sitting our cat! She was very flexible with the timing of drop in visits and able to accommodate a last minute change. She came on time every time and sent lots of pics that gave us peace of mind. I would recommend her to anyone and will rebook if I need a sitter again!

Emily did two drop in visits with my senior cat and took excellent care of him while I was away! This is my second time using Emily for her drop-in visit services and she rocks! I cannot recommend her enough! Im looking forward to having Emily drop in and care for Boomer again soon!

Emily was an amazing drop in sitter for my sweet old cat. She sent me pictures and videos every single time she visited Mr. Boomer, made sure he had food, water and a clean litter box each day! Above all, Im so happy my sweet boy had someone to give him scritches and lots of love while I was away! I cannot recommend Emily enough! Im looking forward to having her check-in on Boomer again in the future!

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any specific breed preferences, but it would be good to know if there are any specific needs for your pet, including an abnormal feeding or walk schedule, medication or otherwise to best help me take care of your pet.

A typical day

We will go on walks in the local green spaces and go to the park to play frisbee, catch or with the other dogs at the dog park. We will also take some time to learn new tricks or go to local hangout spots when it's nice outside. I'll also take into consideration any pet owner's wishes for taking care of their pets.
