Safety, trust & environment

I always use a happy but calmer voice to greet new pets and do whatever I can to make sure they are not afraid, including getting down to their level and allowing them to approach me first. When pets are eating I make sure to give them lots of space. I make going outside to go potty seem like a fun thing that I am inviting them to do. I keep a close eye on pets and prioritize their comfortability to build trust.

Information Emily T. would like to know about your pet

I would also like to know the pet's personality and what they enjoy doing for playtime! Their eating schedule and preferences are also important. It would also be helpful to know if they are welcoming or standoffish with new people.

A typical day

I love to take pets for walks to explore the outdoors. Exercise is very important and I love seeing how happy pets are when they go outside. My house also has a small fenced backyard for shorter trips outside! I love playing with pets' toys, relaxing with pets, and petting the pet whenever they are near me.

Dog and cat lover!

Pet care experience

I recently started having a more flexible work schedule, so I am re-opening my profile! I am excited to care for pets around the Metro Detroit area! I took care of dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, plants, and more for many families in Kalamazoo while in college (on and off of Rover.com)! I love taking dogs for walks, playing with all kinds of pets, and making sure they have all the food and water they need. A few years ago I helped train a puppy and I learned how to entertain highly energetic dogs. When I enter a home I always bond with the animals there!

If you have a furry companion and worry about finding someone who will care for them as much as you do, you can put those concerns to rest. I recognized that Emily was an excellent choice from the moment my dog first met her. It was as if she had a natural connection with him. He was instantly drawn to her, and she made him feel completely at ease. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my vacation without a single worry about Mason. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Emily, thank you for caring for Mason as if he were your own.

Emily took great care of our two cats while we were gone! They are a bit shy around strangers, but liked her very much.
