Grad student who loves pets :)

Pet care experience

I grew up with all different kinds of pets, especially big dogs and cats. My grandma bred Dobermans so I learned and helped with all kinds of puppy care. At various times throughout grade school I volunteered at animal shelters. More recently I was a dog walker and sitter in Ohio and Oregon. I am currently in grad school at UVA looking to care for more lovely animals :)

We appreciate Emma staying and taking good care of Marleigh (& our house!). We know our Great Dane is in good hands with Emma every time she watches her. Thanks again, Emma!

Emma was responsive, kind and took good care of our home and puppy. She even trained him on several commands while we were gone and took him out in the community and on walks. We really appreciated coming home to a very clean home. I would definitely recommend to others!

We’re very happy with Emma staying and taking care of our Dane, Marleigh. Seems like Marleigh is in great hands with Emma and we’re appreciative of her help! Also a great house guest - left our home nice & neat. Thanks, Emma! Marleigh says ‘thanks for taking her to her fav park!’

Emma took great care of Kimi while we were away, including giving Kimi her twice daily medications. Everything went smoothly. We're comfortable with Emma in our home and she leaves everything in great shape. We will use her services again.
