vet student/dog mom/animal lover

Pet care experience

I'm a vet student at OSU and I'd love to care for your pets! I love animals and I've had extensive experience working with them. I've been a professional dog walker/pet sitter for Denver Dog Walking and Canine Massage Company, a veterinary assistant, and a volunteer at the Longmont Humane Society. Additionally, I've fostered border collies for Carolina Border Collie Rescue and Phoenix Rising Border Collie Rescue. My dog, Isabelle, is actually a foster failure (for those that don't know the lingo, that means she was a foster dog of mine that I decided to adopt!) Isabelle is my truest and most constant friend. I know that when I travel, she becomes stressed and misses me. I make sure to leave her with someone whom I know will make her feel as secure and loved as she possibly can feel when her mom is away. I approach pet sitting with this philosophy. I treat all the animals under my care with the same compassion and respect that I would want shown to my pets. I've recently rescued a German Shepherd from a neglect situation and I'm working with the animal behavior specialists at OSU to help him with leash aggression and anxiety. Its a frustrating process at times but I'm learning about handling dogs with special needs. Its taught me to have patience when Gunther (my pup) does something naughty because I have a better understanding of the fear and anxiety that are likely behind the action. I strive to carry over this outlook when petsitting pups with quirks.

Emily was great, establishing a nice relationship with my dog who sometimes takes a while to warm up to new people. In addition, we had a cat who was under the weather and required some extra care. Emily handled everything with ease and was terrific about checking in with me periodically to let me know how all of my pets were doing. Knowing my animals were in good hands allowed me to relax during the time she was there.

Emily was so great with our chow mix, who is such a homebody. He took to her right away at our first 'meet and greet' and was so great with him. I had no problems trusting Emily to stay at my house for the weekend and felt very relieved that we found a great caretaker for my beloved older dog. My house was just as I left it when I got home if not a little bit neater. Emily was also great with communication and sent me pictures throughout her stay with our dog. I would definitely recommend Emily to others and will be!

Emily puts our hearts and mind to ease when we need help with our dog who is diabetic. Finding someone who is reliable, trustworthy, responsible and great with caring for our dog has been more than we ever could have asked for in Emily.

Emily was great. We needed someone at the last minute and she was able to accommodate our schedule. She kept us up to date on her activities with Tuono and he seemed as contented as ever when we got home. She was quick to reply to any messages. We will definitely hire her again for our next trip.

Information Emily T. would like to know about your pet

I like to meet the dogs that I'm going to care for with their owners so I'm not a total random stranger barging into their home when their family is gone. Knowing how the dog reacts to strangers and learning the least stressful way to approach them and earn their trust is also important to me. I'll ask about the energy level and daily routine of your dog so we can come up with a personalized plan that will be the most comfortable and enjoyable for your dog.

A typical day

I'll take care of cats/fish/rodents/reptiles free of charge when you book a stay for your pup. I love running! If you have an active pup, we can go on jogs together. I'm all about puppy cuddles and I see it as a bonus if your pup wants to sleep on the bed. I've had experience working in veterinary clinics. I have technical skills administering subcutaneous fluids, injections, and oral and topical medications. I can also offer nail trims, ear cleanings, teeth brushing, and baths.
