Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog mom, foster & rescue volunteer!
Hey there! My name is Emily and I am a recent grad who has moved back to the area. I have always been an animal lover, and during grad school, I was able to broaden my animal care experiences! I am a dog mom to a German Shepherd named Gemma. She is a rescue and dog-reactive (but loves all people!), so I have extensive experience with walking and handling reactive dogs! Rest assured, when I care for your pets, Gemma will NOT be present. I was an avid foster and volunteer while in grad school for organizations such as Big Paws of the Ozarks, Fayetteville Animal Services, and Best Friends Resource Center. We have had fosters of a variety of ages and breeds. Additionally, I spent most of my Saturdays at the local farmers market with an adoptable shelter pup working on socialization and leash skills with fellow volunteers. Lastly, before moving, I was also a part-time employee at a pet resort that offered daycare, boarding, and grooming services. Hereto, I was able to care for even more dogs (and even some cats!). I am passionate about animal care and would love to take care of your pets, whether it be for walks, check-ins, or house sitting. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I am happy to chat :) I am currently located around the 19464/19343 area. Note: I am able to do check-in visits for cats and hang out for a bit, but cannot house sit because I am allergic.

Safety, trust & environment
In your home, whether it be for a walk, check-in, or housesitting, I am happy to follow any rules that you have in mind! Since I am used to walking a reactive dog, I am extremely observant on walks for anything that might trigger a reaction.
Ratings and reviews
Once again Emily proves why she’s the best dog walker ever, sent from heaven! Thanks for all that you do, truly above and beyond.

Thanks Emily! She gets further and further each walk!
Emily is amazing with my two crazy gsp!!! I will keep her as long as it will possible for her :)
Emily is an excellent pet caregiver. She is kind and genuinely loves dogs. She has grown up with dogs her entire life, she is completely comfortable around dogs and has a calming nature. She is a very responsible and respectful person. She loves spending time with her German shepherd, and makes sure that she is well taken care of. I would recommend Emily for any type of dog care. Any family would be truly lucky to have Emily look after their fur baby.
