I love all kinds of pets

Pet care experience

I am an active 28 year old medical student who loves pets of all kinds. I enjoy walking, running, and hiking with dogs and playing with cats at home. I spend a lot of my free time going on adventures on weekends that I would be happy to involve your dogs (or cats) in! I have been pet sitting and walking for 15 years and have cared for many animals throughout my life. I am currently in my third year and am busier during the week on rotations, but would still love to help out where I can. I live with cats so I do not typically board at this house, but would consider it with the right dog. All of my services are very customizable to your needs, please let me know how I can help.

We were so happy Emma could stay with Harry at our home while we were abroad. Typically, Harry stays with family, but they were unavailable during the time frame, and with him being 11 now we felt like introducing him to a new space and person for babysitting would be unsettling and anxiety-inducing for him. Emma saved the day! She did a house tour with us, met Harry, and when we were taking off she was checking in for Harry's first night. She even helped us out when we had unexpected flight cancellations delaying our return to the states. When we returned home, Harry was patiently waiting by the front door - something he doesn't often do for us anymore, so we knew that he was officially in love with Emma. He even ran to the front door looking for her at one point when we did our whole 'who's that!?' mind game with him. Emma sent us photos, asked questions, gave us updates over text. She even took Harry to his favorite coffee shop for pup cups. We went by the shop on our return and the staff were exuberant about Emma & Harry's visits. We highly recommend Emma and will certainly book her for Harry again!

Emma is the best! We dropped our 5 month old, Winnie, off for the weekend and she had the best time! It was our first time away from Winnie so we were super anxious, but felt more comfortable right away after meeting Emma. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the weekend to keep us updated. Winnie can’t wait to go visit Emma and her roommates again soon! :)

Now that I am not boarding anymore and am mostly house sitting, I can fit into your home and routine however you need. I have a lot of experience with anxious pets, "flight risks," and special needs animals. I love forming a trusting bond with animals and my main goal is to ease their stress while you are away.

Information Emma L. would like to know about your pet

I of course need to know about medications and special instructions. Also please let me know how dogs do at dog parks/walking preferences. Other than that, I just want to know what they like to do!

A typical day

Happy to take dogs on walks through the Wissahickon, around the neighborhood, along the Schuylkill River Trail, or to the dog park. I also love to get out of town and go for longer hikes that I would love to take a dog on.

I am generally on school rotations between 8am and 3-5pm and then study from home. Besides a few errands/dinner with friends I am typically a home body. My schedule varies a lot so don't hesitate to ask, some months are much lighter than others.
