Pet care experience

I grew up in a dog home and have always loved dogs. I worked at a daycare/boarding facility for almost 3 years, and was promoted to supervisor. There, i gained experience in caring for dogs from 3 months old to 18 years old, as well as dogs with health complications and mobility difficulties. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years as a handler for behaviorally challenged dogs.

Emily was a great sitter for Wembie! Very communicative and helpful with our puppy!

It was love at first sight when my puppy, Pebbles, met Emily! Because Emily consistently exudes a strong sense of calm, confidence, and passion when interacting with dogs, Pebbles felt instantly comfortable with Emily. Emily got down on Pebbles' level to play tug of war with her favorite toy and, while playing fetch outside, Emily took it upon herself to make sure Pebbles' water bowl was fresh and plentiful. After taking care of Pebbles, Emily sent me a note with recommendations for stimulating, learning toys that Pebbles would like! Emily went above and beyond in caring for Pebbles. I have found Emily incredibly responsible, committed, and trustworthy. But the best proof point is Pebbles who watches Emily while she leaves and cries until Emily is out of sight. When she sees Emily the next time, she smothers Emily with kisses and tail wags. I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter than Emily!
