Information Emily V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs and how I can best maintain a routine that will mirror what they are accustomed to when you are home.

A typical day

I love to be active and understand the importance of a good walk for a dog, both physically and mentally. I know that sniffing can stimulate their brains so much, so I am always willing to wait while they sniff out the bushes and fire hydrants. Stimulation is also important for cats who tend to spend most of their time indoors. A good string and paper bag or feathered toy can be a fun way to work out the zoomies.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs. I've dog sat for several friends in the past with high praise for my care. I enjoy playing fetch and giving belly rubs.

Emily was absolutely wonderful. I had some last minute changes to our booking and she was incredibly flexible. She truly went above and beyond caring for our pups. She is the perfect pick to care for your pups!

Emily was amazing! She has such great energy—easygoing, kind, and a wonderful communicator. She had so much patience with my senior rescue maltipoo and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my pup was in caring hands. I’d definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!

Emily is very communicative and provides updates on my dog. She took my dog for walks and play with her. Wonderful experience overall.

Emily V was so great with my dog Hendrix! It usually takes Hendrix a while to warm up to new people, but she immediately gravitated to her.
