Information Emily V. would like to know about your pet

If I am going to their house, does he/she respond to strangers well? Is he/she an escape artist? How does he/she do on walks when they see other dogs or people. I do not have any breed preferences.

A typical day

I love to spend time balancing between being active and just loving on them. I enjoy long walks and exploring with dogs and also playing with toys and giving lots of belly rubs. I love playing with cats if they are playful. Otherwise, I respect their space and just give scratches when they want them!

Pets

I love all dogs and cats!

Pet care experience

I have 20 years of combined experience experience working as a veterinary technician, a caretaker at a boarding facility, and owning dogs and cats of my own. I love animals very much. I have 3 kids at home (who all love dogs and cats as much as I do), two dogs and an indoor cat. We have a border collie/aussie mox named Frankie, a King Charles Cavalier/Yorkie mix named Noelle, and a cat named Myra. Frankie loves to run around outside, go on walks and play with other dogs. He’s also a sweet cuddler. Noelle is my sweet old lady. She spends most of her day sleeping. She has a double enucleation surgery a couple years ago due to glaucoma, so she does not have eyes. She is thriving now that she is no longer in pain. I am no longer boarding dogs in my home, but I am available to come to your home to let your dog(s) out & play with them or take them on walks. I am also available for drop in visits for cats.
