Animal rescue owner - fenced yard!

Pet care experience

I run an animal rescue (founded 2009) so I've got experience with every breed and every need! We have a fenced yard with a cable tie out for escape artists and a doggy door for extra freedom. We love to walk and have a safe neighborhood with sidewalks. I do have cats, dogs, and chickens of our own, but all are well-versed in animals who come and go and are friendly and playful with others. I have plenty of experience administering injections and other meds, as well as dealing with potty training, incontinence, and mobility issues. I feed a partial-raw, grain free diet to my own babies and keep everyone current on vaccinations and needed medications -- I take your pet's care as seriously as my own!

Emily is one of the best pet sitter's you'll find in this area. She runs an animal rescue, so she's gathered a lot of skills and knowledge about animals and animal medicine over the years. She is the perfect person for a dog with medical problems or behavioral issues. She's extremely reliable and always very flexible with her schedule, able to visit multiple times a day and over holidays. You'll probably come back from vacation to find your dog in better shape than when you left!

Emily has dedicated her life to animals. She has fostered hundreds of animals in the few short years I have known her. Each one has been treated as if they were her own. She truly cares about every animal that enters her care.

There is absolutely no one else I would trust more with my fur baby. Emily is so knowledgeable, caring, and gentle with my pup (and all pups). It brings me peace of mind that she also knows puppy First Aid. My fur baby loves Em and we both love her!

Information Emily Z. would like to know about your pet

I cannot host a cat or dog aggressive animal in my home, but I have plenty of experience dealing with these issues in other peoples' animals.

A typical day

We have a safely walkable neighborhood with access to Frick Park and other local hiking spots! We also love to swim in warm weather and get out to play in the snow too. We have puzzle boards, laser pointers, and more toys than any animal could reasonably play with.
