Professional Dog Trainer
Pet care experience
I've been passionate about ennriching the lives of dogs, as well as exotic and large animals, for as long as I remember. I've helped care for the scaly and creepy crawlies of the world, special needs animals, and a variety of farm animals. I currently dedicate my personal time to working with service dogs in training, as well as training and competing with my personal dogs in sports like obedience, conformation, barn hunt, and protection. I also focus quite a bit on puppy imprinting, my schedule is very open to accommodate learning puppies or sensitive seniors. My goal is to focus on dogs who need extra attention with behavior challenges, or owners who would like to further advance their dog's training and manners through their time with me. I work full time as a dog trainer through my business, Fetch Happens Dog Training. I typically only take up to two dogs at a time so I can give the best care to the dogs that I am training or caring for. Pups have access to a large yard enclosed by a six foot privacy fence several times per day and are never left outside unsupervised. Our home is thoroughly dog proofed so dogs can hang out within eye sight as a member of the family, without the risk of getting into trouble! Unless requested otherwise, dogs will be in escape proof crates overnight and for the short periods of time that we can’t supervise for safety. When I’m not home, dogs are typically still accompanied by the other two legged member of the family who is also a professional trainer 🐾

Emma H. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Emma was very friendly, pet friendly and knowledgeable. Will book again.
This was my first time using Emma as a sitter. She took her time at our meet and greet to get to know us, ask lots of questions, and give my boys time to warm up to her. My boys are sometimes shy - but it didn't take long for them to come say hi and ask for pets! Their quick affinity for her made me confident that I was leaving them in good hands. Her questions made it clear that she has a lot of experience and knowledge with animals, but also with cats. Rover tends to be marketed more for dogs, so I appreciated finding someone who is well-versed in cats. She was very communicative while I was gone, and sent me the most gorgeous photos of my boys every day! I was nervous about leaving them with someone new as they've been a little anxious as of late, but they were the happiest I've ever seen them with a sitter. Will definitely use Emma again!
Emma was just so amazing! She’s accommodating, very on point and took such good care of my 3 month old Dalmatian puppy, future. And if you know Dalmatians you know what they say about their energy and having one… she handled him AMAZING— AND, I booked with her at like 2 am the night before I was flying to Florida for an emergency. 5 stars. Highly highly recommend. ??

Information Emma H. would like to know about your pet
Before meeting with your dog, please confirm whether they are: >Microchipped >Vaccinated for Rabies and Bordatella >Licensed >Special Needs >Any history of aggression (toward animals OR humans) I have experience handling and training dogs with animal aggression and/or reactivity and can accommodate them in my home for short stays with adequate notice. Dogs with a history of dog aggression or who show aggressive behaviors toward dogs during their stay will not be allowed to play with others, however there is ample space for secure separation and I’m happy to provide several one on one play sessions and walks each day.
A typical day
While in my home, dogs can enjoy a romp in the yard, sunbathing on an enclosed deck, or hang out on the couch with some Netflix. Aside from the company of my pups (who can be separated if requested) your dogs will be the stars of the show. Pet parents will be updated daily with pictures. Each dog that stays with me for vacation will receive an individual play or one on one session at least twice a day. Active pups are welcome to join me and my boys on our hikes or trail walks. Kongs, Toppls, and enrichment toys can be provided at no extra charge to keep dogs busy during crate time.
