Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

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.

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, kittens, diabetic/medication pets, blind and deaf dogs, elder dogs, elder cats, 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 amazing! She has been taking wonderful care of our pup for over 2 years now by getting him out to play/walk while we’re at work. He LOVES her and she’s the only one that can get his nails clipped. Emily truly does go above and beyond for us. She has also taken care of our cats while we’re away. We have a senior cat that is a bit high maintenance with needing meds and extra litter box clean up. Emily was immaculately clean beyond our expectation. She is very reliable, flexible, and a great communicator. It is awesome to have someone we can completely trust with our home and animals whether we’re at work or on vacation. We are so lucky to have Emily!

Emily was just wonderful. She had experience with large dogs and dogs like Mickie who are not dog friendly. Love people but not other dogs. She also was familiar with e-collars and prong collars, both which Mickie was trained to. It was reassuring having someone as familiar with dogs and training strategies

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!!
