I have experience fostering dogs in New York City, and I am a naturally patient and nurturing person. Rest assured that I will be sure to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. About this sitter: Hi, my name is Emily. I am in my late 20s, and I moved to Atlanta from New York City three years ago. I lived in NYC for 2 years, and I became very involved in an organization called Stray from the Heart. I fostered and rehabilitated dogs for months at a time. Once they were ready, I worked closely with other volunteers to find the dog a permanent home. Whenever these families traveled, I stayed in their homes to take care of their dog. I am nurturing, patient, playful, and loving. I am an experienced dog-walker, trainer, and sitter. In New York, I also earned my Master of Social Work degree from NYU, and I am currently starting my private practice providing psychotherapy for children, adults, couples, and families. Why I love dog sitting We have always had 2-3 rescue dogs in my home growing up and I have always loved them. I will never forget my favorite black lab cattle dog mix, Radar, who was my primary childhood dog and got me through the best of days and my weaker moments. Dogs have always brought me great joy. Meet my pets My mother lives about 10 miles away from me with 4 beagles, and I have a Jack Russell mix, Lumi in my home that I rescued a year ago. I live an active and healthy lifestyle and would be glad to take your dog outside as much as he or she would like! My experience administering medication I have cared for dogs with various types of illnesses, and I am comfortable administering medications.
