Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, Molly is cared for solely by me. This would be the same for your pet. I have two female roommates (also animal lovers) who have their own space in our apartment. Molly is allowed free roam including the balcony, however only with MY supervision on the balcony. With foster dogs we’ve had, they were also allowed on the balcony, as we are on the second floor with a 4.5ft railing. Our complex has a completely fenced in large grass area for dogs in between the buildings where we take our fosters out to play. In your home, it is up to you how I care for your animals. I’m willing to do sidewalk walks as well as go to dog parks. I have no issue visiting your pet at your home to take them just to the backyard or on a 2 mile walk.

Information Emily V. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if there’s a specific circumstance that the dog is known to react to (children, other animals, etc.). I also like to know if there’s something your pet is specifically attracted to as that can also cause an issue if I’m unaware.

A typical day

I’m big on smells for dogs. I like to take my time on walks for the dogs sake, however i’m not against a high energy dog who enjoys running. I honestly treat dogs like humans, they need to be stimulated throughout the day in order to stay healthy. I’m experienced with the energy that comes with puppies as well, so i’m used to having to play to entertain almost 24/7

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with every kind of animal; dog, cat, bird, snake…you name it I probably had it. I currently own my ESA Molly, a 3yo cat who was a pregnant foster fail (her 4 babies went to amazing homes). I have experience fostering and owning pregnant dogs and cats. I have midwifed puppies at the age of 15 alone. I then got to train those 6 puppies which was an amazing experience. I love getting to spend time with animals and I have the time to help owners who maybe can’t be with their fur babies all day.

Emily is by far the most incredible and caring human I've ever met. She watches and walks my pets weekly, and they always look forward to when she walks through the door. Not only is she gentle and loving with my animals, but she will tire them out playing outside or running. I would not recommend ANYONE above Emily when it comes to the safety and nurturing of my pets!

Emily has been taking care of our animals for years. She even helped our dog deliver her puppies. Emily is absolutely amazing with all of them even our bird. You can rest assured if you have Emily looking after your beloved pets.
