Pet care experience

Welcoming & trusted home for all ❤

Hi everyone! My name is Emily, I am a 33-year-old a special education teacher and animal lover that lives in Chelmsford, MA. I have been around all types of animals my entire life, once upon a time I wanted to be a veterinarian but the tough parts of that proved to be too much for me! I have been pet sitting for friends, family members and neighbors since I was child, have experience working as a veterinary technician and I also foster dogs and cats from multiple local shelters and rescue organizations. I do not foster and pet sit at the same time, however! Due to this experience, I have worked with dogs, cats and other animals of many different breeds, temperaments, ages, levels of training etc. and am very comfortable meeting animals where they are in their lives. I do have 3 of my own rescue pets, one dog and two cats, who love when we have visitors of all types and I promise I will treat your furry family member as if they were one of my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and/or concerns!

Emily has been so helpful with my senior dog! She is great! The one time that she had to cancel was due to a winter storm & she communicated ahead of time. I appreciate her flexibility & that she takes the time to do Rover cards with updates.

Emily was so caring, thoughtful, and attentive to our puppy’s needs! She regularly updated us, sent photos and videos, and made his stay better than we could have imagined. Her dog was so sweet to ours, as this was his first time being with another dog for an extended period of time. I would HIGHLY recommend Emily to watch your pets! She is experienced, comprehensive, and so so caring!

Emily was so great with Maizie! We set up a meet and great a few weeks before to make sure it was a good fit and we both felt comfortable. I received multiple updates and pictures throughout her stay, and would recommend Emily to everyone :)

Schedule

I am a teacher, but my pets are still my number one priority, and yours will be as well! The school day is 6 hours and only 15 minutes from my home, I am able to go home mid-day to check on my pets and take my dog out. I also have cameras in my home to check out what is going on throughout the day. In case of emergency, I am always able to leave school and head home.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are as much family as anyone! In my home, I am able to crate or gate off animals, have different types of treats and food available, can give medication to pets and can take dogs out for long walks or use long leashes in large grass areas and fields for dogs to run!

Pets

A typical day

I live in a very quiet townhouse complex right along the Merrimack river. There is a trail along the river that I walk often, and within the complex there are large fields and grassy areas to allow dogs to run, play and enjoy! I am also close to many other walking trails and parks that I would love to take your pup to if you feel comfortable!

The more I am able to know, the better! Your dog's temperament, likes/dislikes, preferred food/treats, how they get along with other animals, sleeping arrangements, leash behavior, any other notable behaviors, any commands/training you're currently working on, and anything else you think is important or relevant. I am happy to meet your dog prior to having them at my home or walking them, or am happy to have you visit my home so you are comfortable with everything!
