Safety, trust & environment

I will cater my services to your pets needs ensuring they are getting the most while you are away. I understand that every pet is different and will have specific needs. Whether that be actively playing or walking your energetic dog until they are tuckered out for the evening or ensuring your senior dog is able to enjoy his walk at a slow leisure pace and hang out with them for however long is needed to make sure they aren't lonely. I read instructions carefully to make sure pill doses are correctly given at the times needed, enclosures are properly lit and cleaned, and food is given correctly. I am open to pets that have specific needs.

Information Emma M. would like to know about your pet

If an animal has any sort of medication or special food instructions it's important for me to know along with any sort of physical limitations or medical conditions. If a dog is afraid or has a hard time with other people or dogs on walks, please let me know so I can plan a route to keep a good distance.

A typical day

With my dog growing up and other dogs I've cared for daily walks around the neighborhood are good part of the routine. I also love giving them a chance to play fetch, tug-o-war or any typical games the dog may enjoy to keep them happy and stimulated. If there is a yard, a good run around with the zoomies is also enjoyable and a great way to release their energy. With any pet I try to match the energy given to make them comfortable. For example sometimes a shy cat may not like to play but enjoys an active presence while they eat or sun bask.

Pet care experience

I've worked with a variety of dogs, cats and exotic animals since I was a teenager. From walking and caring for Pittbulls, Labradors to teacup dogs. I've also cared for my own German Shepard from childhood. I currently care for an elderly kitty and do my best to minimize his hip pain and care for his ear irriation with vet recommendation ear drops.

Emma was excellent! She is reliable and flexible when needed, and took great care of our cat while we were away. She was thorough in making sure his needs were met and communicated clearly with us throughout the weekend. We knew our cat was in good hands which means a lot :)
