Trustworthy animal enthusiast
Pet care experience
Growing up, I always had animals around. I pet-sat for neighbors several times a year and did dog-walking regularly around the neighborhood. We also always had pets in my family, taking in a variety of pets and rescues. In college, I took an animal behavior class. Since graduating, I have pet-sat for friends and family members from 80 lb dogs to 10 lb dogs, as well as cats. I also volunteer at Best Friends Animal Shelter.
Reviews
Emma took great care of our pup when we needed someone to drop in and play with her a week after her spay surgery. Emma was on time, extremely communicative and followed our pup’s cues for play time vs. cuddle time. We will definitley use Emma again!
Emma was great! Our trip was so much better knowing our fur babies were in good hands. She was meticulous with our dogs’ needs, exercised them daily, gave them their cuddles, and we came home to our house exactly as we left it (if not cleaner). Would recommend to anyone and look forward to working with her again.
Emma did such a great job watching Ozzy! He was recovering from some tummy distress so she maintained the bland diet meals that we had been feeding him to get him right! She took him to his favorite park and to any activities she had! We got lots of pictures and know our pup had a great time as always with Emma.
Wouldn't trust anyone else to watch our pup for us. Emma is simply the best! She is very flexible and available with our schedules and always provides the best care. We really love that Emma is so active and takes our boy on walks, hikes, runs, etc. Sometimes I think our dog enjoys when we go out of town because he knows he's going to get to spend time with her! Now every time he sees her, he can't even contain his excitement.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety is my number 1 priority. I can be flexible with how you’d like me to take care of your animals and I’ll follow any rules you have. If your animals aren’t allowed on the couch or need crated, I will follow suit. Especially when it comes to training, I know consistency is key. If your dog needs socializing, I’m happy to take them to dog parks. If they need exercise, I’ll play with them, throw a ball around, take them for long walks, take them on hikes, etc.
Information Emma L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are specific triggers your pet might have. If they don't like their ears or feet being touched, or if they are very protective of toys or food, those are important notes for me to know. Also, if you have any tips on their environment and how to get your pet to listen better or food rules (e.g. no treats, they are food motivated and can have lots of treats, they don't get along with this other animal, they will grab food from counters, avoid this corner on walks, etc.), those are all helpful to ensure I keep your pet safe and treat them as you would.
A typical day
I love to hike, run, and take walks, so if your dog would love some exercise, I'm your girl! I'll take them to dog parks, play with them or throw toys, take them with me on hikes, etc. Dog or cat, if your pet likes to play or needs exercise, I'm happy to help!

Availability
I currently work a 8am - 4pm job, but have some flexibility, where I can stop by during my lunch break mid-day or can move around my start or end time a little to fit your schedule. Fridays I work from home too. Weekends change a lot, but for the most part, I’m usually in town.
