Pet care experience
I have two dogs of my own that I raised and trained from puppies! I’m very active so any dog that needs a lot of exercise is no problem for me. For dogs that may need less exercise and just want to relax on the couch I’m up for too! I’ve grown up dogs and feel comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am comfortable with puppies as well as older dogs, and am able to train obedience if that's something you would like! I am also comfortable administering medication; as one of my dogs growing up needed daily shots. I understand how every dog is not just a pet, but truly a member of your family. I promise to treat your dog with the respect and love that they all deserve. I’m a graduate student and server in between classes so I have a relatively flexible schedule!
Reviews
We recently used Emma to walk and play with Willow our 7 month old Siberian Husky and she was fabulous. She was super friendly and I could tell immediately that she was a perfect fit for our energetic, playful, stubborn and mischievous puppy. I felt very comfortable leaving Willow in Emma's care for the first time and was so excited to learn that she is experienced in dog training. She asked me if there was anything that I would like her to work on with Willow and she showed me some new ways to correct some of Willow's obedience issues. It was a great first meeting and feel so lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Emma to take care of any pet and will definitely be using her again. Donna K. Sept 16, 2020
Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away. She sent lots of photos of our dog and she looked like she was living her best life! Our dog is a master at learning new tricks and Emma taught her a new one, too. The house was spotless when we got home and she even washed the bed sheets. She was also very quick to respond to messages both during the booking process and while we were away. We highly recommend her!
I’ve never met her which was weird at first. But she was very attentive! I loved how she sent pictures of my pup, it gave me peace of mind. Overall I am happy and I will definitely be asking for her to walk lucah again in the near future
We contacted Emma based on her reviews, and she walked our dog four times recently. She deserves five stars for professionalism alone, but as a HUGE bonus, she is also super experienced, intuitive, and knowledgeable about dogs. My dog, adopted 3 months ago, is jolly and fun and smart, but can also be a bit skittish, growly, and territorial, so honestly I was stressed out about hiring a dog walker (what if he was rude to her and couldn't calm down, caused a problem on a walk...). It is truly great comfort knowing that Emma is such a pro with dogs, and her approach of patience and positive reinforcement is awesome. She is very attuned to nuances in behavior, and in just a handful of brief conversations with her, I've picked up insights about dog body language, managing reactivity in positive ways, and more. And my dog warmed up to her faster than just about anyone. We will absolutely be hiring Emma next time we need dog walking assistance! Can't recommend highly enough.
