Animals are my whole life ❤️

Pet care experience

I’ve been dog/cat sitting and dog walking consistently for over 7 years now. Ive have been volunteering with a animal rescue for going on 7-8 years now. I am very comfortable giving medication, insulin shots, etc. Ive worked with dogs as small as newborns and as large as 240 lbs and I am comfortable with all breeds of dog. I’ve had animals my entire life and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I currently work at a pet food store, and I have the ability to take my personal dogs and dogs I’m sitting to work with me everyday. We have a large office space with lots of comfy lounging spots of all sizes. We almost have someone (whether myself or dog and cat savvy coworker) in there at any given time so they still receive almost constant supervision. When I’m not working I am a more active person and love hiking and love to go on walks and go to the park, of course any dog in my care at that time would have the opportunity to join me. In the past with seniors or dogs too young for walks I’ve used strollers, backpacks and wagons so that they never miss out on the fun. Your pets’ safety and happiness are paramount. My goal is to create a fun, loving, stress free environment for everyone. If there is anything specific that would help to make that possible please tell me!

Emma is very kind and super knowledgeable about animals. My pup remembered her from our meet and greet and immediately pulled toward Emma. She had a great time in her home and with her other pets. Emma also took her on walks and introduced her to her workplace so we could have an idea if she would be okay visiting during the day on future stays, which was super thoughtful. Very impressed. Highly recommend.

Emma was very accommodating to our timing and took care of our baby really well.

Emma is one of the most committed pet parents I have ever known, she treats all fur babies as her own and always does her best to make sure that the animals in her care are happy and healthy. She is one of the very few people that is able to care for my rescue pup, who has difficulty trusting just anyone. She has experience with animals of all shapes and sizes, temperaments, medical needs, etc.

I have worked with Emma at a dog rescue for many years, and I can’t recommend her enough. She is kind and compassionate to everyone she meets, human and canine alike! She treats all animals under her care as if they are her own. She has many years of experience working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments - from extremely shy dogs to highly reactive dogs and everything in between. She is very skilled at navigating dogs individual personalities and making them feel comfortable.

I have a fully fenced in front and back yard so a very safe set up. I have 3 dogs and two cats to keep your fur babies company if I happen to be away for short periods.

I currently work full time but am able to take all pups in my care for work with me! I work in the pet industry so all coworkers are dog and cat savvy. We have a great office set up where there is almost someone there the entire day with various lounging spots and plenty of people to spoil them with love and affection if they would like it or give them space and boundaries if they need it. When I’m not working we’re typically doing something outside like going for a walk, the park, or hiking. We never forget to get extra snuggles in throughout the day though! I’m very mental enrichment focused so we do a lot of puzzle feeding and enrichment games with food and toys.
