Loving Care from a Trainer/Dog Mom

Dogs Are My World – I have extensive hands-on experience with dogs: Worked at an animal shelter, caring for many different dogs with a variety of needs Served as a personal babysitter for a puppy and adult dogs Provided ongoing care for a senior woman and her dog Successfully trained my own dog, who is now wonderfully well-behaved Every walk I work on leash training and have watched my techniques turn into success in stopping leash pulling and better leash manners. I’m extremely responsible, reliable, and patient. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or just giving your pup lots of love and attention while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. I am versitile in dog psychology and really understand how do give them what they need. Your dog’s happiness and safety are my top priority!

Safety, trust & environment

I would NEVER leave your dog alone. If they're under my supervision we are now bestfriends on a playdate all day. I can accomadate any kind of activities you would prefer your dog to do. Wether thats beach time, socializing with other dogs, NOT socializing with other dogs, hiking in the woods (If they're tick and flea vaccinated), or a day of training and playing in the park. I would love to accomadate what is best for your dog's needs.

Emma Starlee is amazing with our dogs! They immediately fell in love with her energy. She’s very loving and thorough with whatever your their needs are. I highly recommend her to care for your dogs. She will treat them as if they are her own 💓

Emma has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her genuine love for dogs shines through in everything she does, and she has a remarkable ability to connect with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. She is patient, kind, and attentive, always taking the time to understand each dog’s individual needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Emma to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly passionate about caring for dogs. It’s clear that this is more than just a job for her, it’s something she genuinely loves.

I am currently fully available days and nights but will in the next month begin working as an afterschool teacher for the elementary schools here in Santa Cruz, and my scheudle would change to Mon-Fri from 1:00 - 6:00 so I am trying to get a group of pups who need some morning babysitting while their Mom or Dad are at work or doing their daily chores.

As I begin my bond with the dogs I like to take them to a petstore so I can get a sense if their food or play orientated so I can properly reward them for being good. If you already have a specific treat or toy your pet prefers that would be great to know before hand. Especially if there is anything your pet is allergic to or does not like!
