Pet care experience
I've loved animals since a very young age, I live on a street with tons of dogs so I would always be asking neighbors if they needed anything. I've been dog and cat sitting for a family for about 4 years now. They have 3 dogs (usually 4 because they foster so often), and two cats. I let them out about every 4-5 hours and I feed them evenings. I also stay over night frequently. Other than that family I do side jobs here and there for friends, including walking, feeding, letting them outside, and of course playing with them!
Reviews
Emily has sat for my dogs, Chaz and Tito, on multiple occasions and has always done a great job. The dogs love her and are always more than happy to hang out with her while were away! She's stayed at the house overnight several times and we always return to find the dogs well taken care of and the house clean. She goes above and beyond making sure both the house and the dogs are well cared for and is always respectful and kind when we need her to help out! She will take them for walks if we ever don't have time and she's even taken them to the vet for us which has been a huge help. Emily takes great care of my fur babies and I'm sure she'd do the same for everyone else!
Emily has been taking care of my dogs over the past 5ish years. My family and I travel a lot and always have Emily take care of our pets. Our dogs have some anxiety and Emily is always attentive to them. They are happier after spending a week with Emily than a dog hotel. I cannot stress enough how good she is with our dogs, she is worth every penny. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for real, genuine care for their dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
At my home in Northampton I have a rather large house on a nice street, we also have a bunch of land right behind my house with tons of acres for pets to run around, swim, etc. It's a pretty popular area for neighbors and others that know about it so I frequently see other dogs. I walk my dog and neighbors dog back there and they have a blast every time! If they end up swimming we always wash them off in the backyard. I also live about 5 minutes away from a local dog park. In terms of the environment inside my home, I have a senior chocolate lab, Remmy, and he still has tons of energy. I have an outdoor cat that is rarely home and has never minded dogs. I also have 2 kittens that I just recently purchased that stay in the basement for most of the time. They don't mind my other cat or dog. Although I would prefer to come to you I'm also open to taking care of your pets in my home. I would provide any services you'd like for the duration I'm taking care of your pets. My Amherst is home is where I currently reside but travel to and from my Northampton home frequently. The house is on a not too busy street and I have a few roommates that love dogs!
Home
Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets need certain levels of care, I'm fine with any breed of dog, I can handle aggressive dogs I would just like to know before hand. Also if your pets take medication I would like to know beforehand how it is administrated or if I could be seen how to perform it the correct way if I'm unfamiliar.
A typical day
I always like taking dogs to nearby dog parks, in my area we have a great one where the dogs can swim together and everyone is super friendly. There is also a huge amount of land right behind my house that people bring their dogs quite frequently but I usually don't see too many people.

Availability
I am currently a full-time worker (as of June 27th) I would be available early evenings, as well as the full weekend. This leaves me with plenty of time to hang out with you animals and make sure they get the care they need.
