Highlights
Pet care experience
I hope to meet your pet :)
I grew up with one cat and a couple of dogs. My cat, Maggie, was my responsibility and I played with her, changed her food and litter box, and took her to vet appointments when I was older. One of my childhood dogs, Tess, had cerebellar hypoplasia, which meant that she experienced seizures and difficulties with coordination. From Tess, I learned the importance of balancing safety and autonomy. The experiences that I had with my childhood pets made me want to pursue pet caretaking in my adulthood! I currently have two Border Collie, Australian Shepherds (Olive and Cooper) with my partner, and they keep us active! We love to go for walks and hikes with them, and enjoy working on their training! From Olive and Cooper, I have learned and continue to learn about high energy dogs and the importance of adequate mental and physical stimulation.

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure to give my dogs their own time and space so that they feel special and cared for. But they also enjoy walks and hikes together, and hanging out in the yard; I like to join in by throwing a frisbee/ ball or incorporating some training! I have also had a cat and taken care of cats, and I like to engage with them when they are interested. But I am also happy to just provide company, if that is all they need.
Ratings and reviews
Emma was great! We felt very comfortable leaving our two pups with her for the entire day. She had great communication and sent us updates and pictures. It was such a relief to not have to worry about our furbabies while we were out of town!
Emma is great with cats and dogs! She is very trustworthy and does really well with handling different pets and being able to work with them on their level. She is so kind and you won’t regret having her take care of your furry friends :)
