Sitter who loves outdoor adventures
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
She was extremely polite and so prepared! I'm excited to say we're going to be requesting more walks. She's very caring and shared all the details about the walk. 😋
You can immediately tell on meeting her that Emi is a special human. She went above and beyond during a meet and greet to make my dog happy, getting on the floor and going slowly. My dog was severely abused so she is ridiculously afraid of everything. She still allowed Emi to pet her a tiny bit and more importantly let her take her outside. Emi sent me pictures of the dog looking plenty happy. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone like her to help my little doggo.
Emily did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away! She is very nice and I would recommend her!
Emily took great care of our pups. She sent lots of photos and updates while we were away. Everyone seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Would definitely rebook and also recommend to others!
About Emily S.
Communication
Skills
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!
Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
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 admister peanutbutter treats*
A typical day
I like to provide daily enrichment for the animals I interact with. Typically for dogs, I love to go on walks and explore familiar and new places. I like to go to dog parks, I love to play with them with whatever their favorite toys are. For cats, every cat is different, so I like to find out what their favorite kind of play is and engage them in that kind of play. My cat Monty loves to play with sticks, while Leo loves to play fetch!

Availability
I am an behavioral therapist/scheduling specialist and work during the day in a clinic 730am-4pm. 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**
