Pet care experience

Sitter who loves outdoor adventures

I've been training dogs since I was 12 years old. I love bully breeds and training animals to be gentle with all ages. I trained my cat to be a service animal, visiting nursing homes and preschools, and I love exploring outside with dogs. My best friend is a dog trainer and groomer, and we enjoy helping people train their dogs. My family always had large and small dogs, so I am comfortable with any size dog!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I tend to take a gentle approach. Especially if the animal does not know me well yet. Just like people, you have to treat pets with the respect you would like them to give you. Develop healthy boundaries and work to improve the animal and person relationship. Typically, this approach is a great way for animals to know I am not trying to dominate them but to share space and spend time with them as I provide enrichment in their day!

Emily did a great job with Willow and Norman while we were on vacation! We did not have to worry about our fur babies at all! Will definitely rebook for any future trips.

Emily is absolutely amazing. She has been walking, doing drop in visits (sometimes last min) and house sitting for a while now. She is so prompt and communicative. I get tons of pics and text filling me in on what I’m missing out on :) I’m really glad my dog has such a great friend and sitter. Thank you, Emily. You are, simply, THE BEST!

Emily goes above and beyond. She has helped keep our dog save in unexpected circumstances which we are incredibly grateful for. Will always recommend her.

Schedule

I am a Social Worker Case Manager, so my hours are flexible and my own. I work mostly from home. This gives me the ability to work from your house if your animal needs extra attention and care. I do have time in the day to take animals out for potty breaks. I usually don't work on the weekend, so I will have lots of time to spend with the animals I am caring for! **For House sitting due to health reasons I sleep at my own house usually 6-8 hours depending on animal needs**

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Emily can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I need to know of any special instructions you have for your animal. You know your animal best so let me know if they have any medications, fears, or triggers. For dog walks, I love to explore, so let me know if your dog is okay in social situations or if we should find more secluded walks. I am flexible and will work around your animal's needs to make you feel comfortable while you are not there. *I am allergic to peanuts, so I do not administer peanutbutter treats*
