Dog and cat lover!
Pet care experience
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 and I even joke to my friends that I come over to see their pets, not them. While away at school I can't have a pet, so I am missing that fun pet time!
Reviews
Emily took wonderful care of our dogs and was able to administer difficult medications to one of our dogs. She was super communicative and sent pictures of our dogs. I will definitely be using her again when she’s available!
Emily did a great job! I appreciated her coming over beforehand to meet Carly and Carly immediately loved her. Emily took Carly to the park on her care day and she had so much fun. I was very comfortable leaving Carly in Emily’s care.
Awesome dog walker!! She will be missed when she goes to A2.
I would highly recommend her.

Communication
Skills
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 and I make going outside to go potty seem like a fun thing that I am inviting them to do, instead of forcing them to go out. 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 love to know the dog's name, what type of dog it is, and how big it is. I would also like to know the dog'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. I love playing with pets' toys and running around with them in their fenced-in yard. I also love relaxing with pets and petting the pet whenever they are near me.
