Pre-vet student looking for work!
Pet care experience
I have extensive experience with caring for small animals, between working as a vet assistant, volunteering at shelters, dog sitting and house sitting gigs, fostering shelter animals, and even taking care of my own pets at home. Furthermore, I am a pre-vet student at KSU, so I have specific education pertaining to animal health and wellness. I am confident in my abilities as a dog sitter or dog walker because of the tools and skills I have learned throughout my life, and I have several references that can attest to that.

About Emma M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In the case that I am asked to petsit a dog at someone else’s home, I will ensure that both the dog and the house have my most undivided attention. It takes a lot of trust to let someone you hardly know take care of your animal in your own home, so I will never be someone who takes advantage of that. I understand that a dog may be anxious after its owner leaves so I also be sure to take that into serious consideration. I treat any dog as if it were my own, with the most attention and love I can give it.
Information Emma M. would like to know about your pet
As a vet assistant, I prioritize the health of the dog first. Because of this, it is extremely important to know the medical history of any dog I work with. For example, is the dog allergic to anything? Is the dog susceptible to seizures? Does the dog have a history of chronic health issues? Knowing the dog’s medical history is essential in order to create the best experience for both parties.
A typical day
Typically, I like to incorporate activities that are specific to the dog’s activity levels. A very active dog will require more physical activity, such as playing fetch or going for a run. However, a dog that would prefer just lounging on the couch with you would find going on a run to be its worst nightmare. In that case, activities could include practicing trick training or doing a low maintenance activity, such as a light stroll around the block. In any case, I love going on walks at Annenburg trail, a 1.5 mile loop around the park, as it provides both the dog and me exercise!

Availability
I am currently a full-time student with another part-time job at a vet clinic, but it will not interfere with my availability as a pet sitter or dog walker for the most part. I have most of my early mornings, afternoons and evenings free. Additionally, my weekends are free.
