Pet care experience

Experienced Animal Caretaker

My first memory of a dog involved a neighbor’s pup who lived in the fenced yard behind our home and was known to be very aggressive. I let him smell my hand until he felt comfortable enough to accept a treat, and eventually let me pet him. I earned the trust of this so-called untouchable dog and it showed me how even the most challenging of pups can be won over with the right mix patience, determination and understanding. My own dog was previously in an abusive situation and struggled with all sorts of fears and anxieties. Through caring for her, I have learned so much about triggers and watching out for warning signs. And now she is a stable, healthy and happy pup who has grown tremendously! I have also watched dogs who are famous for escaping any kind of home and kennel, so I am well-versed in setting up boundaries so dogs are not given the opportunity to run away. I was inspired to work with Rover through the years of experience I have caring for all types of dog breeds and temperaments. My deep love for animals drives my business and I use that passion to provide the best possible customer service for my clients. I make sure I understand their needs completely before any session and keep them up to date on our activities throughout the day. As a person, I am energetic, caring and responsible, three traits that are necessary in an amazing pet sitter! Dog owners book with me repeatedly because they know their dog is in safe and capable hands with me. I take their dog’s emotions seriously and tend to their every need. I also make homemade treats on a weekly basis for my own pup and would be happy to share!

I have a fenced large yard, in a neighborhood with great sidewalks that are lovely for walks. I do have a cat and a pup of my own, but they love everyone and everything!

Emily was the best! She took care of our cat while we were away for a week. She provided pictures and detailed messages about her visit every time which really gave us peace of mind!

Emily was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our two dogs and elderly cat that required medication over the 4th of July holiday. She was amazing with multiple check ins each day to let me know what everyone was up to and how they were doing. We will definitely have Emily back to stay with our crew!

Please inform me of any specific allergies, aggressions, or medications that your pet may have as it is important I give them the best care possible. Due to past experiences I am unable to care for any breed variation of Doodles, thank you for your understanding.
