Giving pets a safe and joyful space
Pet care experience
My family had energetic Australian Shepherds growing up and as soon as I was able to, I became very involved in taking care of them and training them. I trained one of our dogs in obedience, agility, and confirmation. We also had a dog with a heart defect who required medicine 3 times a day for several years, so I have lots of experience in coaxing dogs to cooperate with that! Our older dog, Taco is an older guy with some unique needs and sometimes grumpy personality so experience with being patient and adaptable is right up my alley! We have a spunky and loving corgi named Edwin who's a fun handful.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a sunny and airy one bedroom apartment with my partner, our 17 year old American Eskimo, Taco, our corgi, Edwin, and our cat, Norman. We take daily walks (sniffs for Taco) and venture often to our dog park on our apt complex property (yes, even Norman!). Edwin gets overwhelmed with other dog friends and we encourage him to watch them from afar because his stress can lead to reactivity.
Home
Information Emma S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know any special medical needs, stressors, special likes, anything that will make me feel like a safe person/space to your pet! I’m happy to make adjustments or whatever they may need.
A typical day
Our neighborhood is dog walking friendly and close to multiple parks. I think it’s especially important to let dogs sniff outside as well as find stimulation indoors!

I currently am in between jobs and would love to make your pet a priority! I may be starting a remote job/training in the future but will still remain flexible.
