Availability

I am a full time pet care provider so your pets are my world! I currently have no pets of my own so I am openly available to receive your pets love! I accept animals of all behaviors (including separation anxiety, resource guarding, reactivity with people and other animals, etc.) so my schedule may occasionally be completely full to meet their needs. I appreciate your understanding!

Information Emma A. would like to know about your pet

It’s important that I know of any medications that they take, routines that they are used to, any special needs they have, any leash or bathroom behaviors they have, the extent of their training, as well as their temperament around other animals and people. I am accommodating to all behaviors and have a variety of tools but must know beforehand to handle the situation safely. Thank you! NOTE: in the event of weather below 30 degrees F or above 90 degrees* F I will only be walking pets for not longer than 15 minutes at a time. This is to ensure the safety of myself and your pets. For the remainder of our visit I will be happy to play inside with your pet or hang out until the end of our booking!

A typical day

I love to pay fetch, tug of war, work on commands that they know as well as fun new tricks, and play mental enrichment games. I am used to spending a lot of time outside hiking along various trails and have multiple long leashes depending on the destination and your dogs tolerances.

Full Time Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a full time sitter so I can spend with your pets! I have always been surrounded by pets of varying ages, species, breeds, and temperaments. I currently own a snake, aquatic animals, and a dog! I have experience with senior care, puppy raising, behavioral training and skill training, and more. I also have multiple 100 foot long lines, a wagon (300+lbs weight limit), and a dog stroller (88lbs weight limit). Please let me know if you have any questions for me and I am excited to get to know you and your fur babies! NOTES** • Requests with pets that cannot be left alone for more than 2 hours are considered constant care. I offer constant care at an additional rate. • In order to receive a full refund for a service it must be cancelled within one week. Failure to do so will result in a 50% refund issued. • For dog-only AND dog friendly bookings I will ask if my dog can accompany the terms. My dog will never be in your home or intersect with your dog at all without your explicit permission. • New clients for recurring walks, drop ins, and overnights longer than one night will receive a questionnaire to fill out to give more information on your pets! • I also offer hourly care for up to 8 hours starting at $25 hourly. All bookings where I am with your pet for up to 8 hours (excluding overnight bookings) will be charged an hourly rate. • All bookings must be confirmed at least 24 hours before booking. Until a booking is paid for I will be unable to guarantee that time is saved.

Emma has good communication skills. Hunter and Tucker reacted well, Brownie was shy and hiding. We look forward to working with her in the future.
