I work from home and can let out dogs for potty breaks multiple times a day. They can lounge around my home and play with toys. I do have one older cat that likes to come out and say hi. She is more of a cat-dog. If I have dogs that need more potty breaks and stimulation, we can discuss a pet care plan for them while they are here. If for any reason pets are unattended, I have kennels for them to stay in.

Information Emily V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs to set up any accommodations. I have experience in many different kinds of dog breeds and pet care.

A typical day

I love to take the dogs for a walk when it's nice outside. I have lots of dog toys around the house and treats to give. My dogs are typical couch potatoes despite being active hunting dogs. We can always figure out a good plan for each dog.

Experienced Quality Care

Pet care experience

I love animals and have cared for them my whole life. I'm a great listener and will do my best to accommodate to your dog and help you feel at easy leaving them in my care. I have two labrador retrievers, one cat, horses and chickens. I train my dogs in obedience and hunting. Both my dogs are guide dogs at a hunt club and are kennel trained. I love animals and feel blessed to work from home and spend all day with them. I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have horses and will make sure your pet is safe. I have a nice big porch that I have open to the dogs in the summer to enjoy the nice weather. I can provide mid-day walks when the weather is nice! I have two kids ages 6 and 8 that live with me. They are great with animals but will not be directly provided care for any dogs. Please don't hesitate to ask questions! I'm here to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. **All dogs must be potty trained with the exception of dogs under 6 months that are still learning to potty train.

I have dropped my Australian shepherd off for doggy daycare with Emily since he was a puppy. Emily has been instrumental in potty training and basic commands. Emily has a very large yard and plenty of toys to keep my Aussie busy and happy. I would recommend Emily. She is very knowledgeable about animals. She is kind and respectful.
