Pet care experience

I grew up taking care of 3 dogs in my own household, all living to ages 11, 10, and 14 years old. I have experience in agility training and have helped my Uncle train Malinois, some who are K9 certified. I have dog and cat sat(including overnight) for neighbors, family, and friends. I have experience training basic tricks to puppies and taking care of them. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve also taken care of bigger animals such as horses!

Emma has been absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for our fur babies! My wife and I wanted to spend some time exploring national and state parks, but it was really important to us to have someone we trusted staying at home with our pups and cat while we were away. Emma gave us exactly that peace of mind. She is incredibly attentive, sweet, loving, and nurturing with all of our animals. She took the time to engage with them, spend quality time with them, and make sure they received plenty of love and attention while also keeping them on their normal routine. We really appreciated that she followed all of our instructions and made sure everything went according to plan. Emma was also very punctual and communicative throughout her stay. We absolutely loved receiving the pictures and videos she sent us—it was so reassuring getting to see our babies happy, comfortable, and being well cared for while we were away. One of the biggest things for us was simply knowing someone responsible and caring was physically there with our animals, especially in case anything unexpected or an emergency happened. Having Emma there allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our adventures without constantly worrying about what was happening back home. You can tell Emma genuinely cares about animals, and seeing how loving she was with our pups and cat meant a lot to us. We would absolutely trust her with our babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you, Emma, for taking such great care of our little family! ❤️🐶🐶🐱

Emma is a very loving individual that is very responsible with animals. Emma is the type of person to see a dog out in public and run over to say hi and ask if she can pet them. She has dog sat many times, making sure that the dog is well taken care of both physically and emotionally while walking or taking care of them while their owners are gone.

Emma is a responsible young adult who loves and cares for animals of all kinds. This was most apparent in her love for her childhood dog, Ellie. The two were inseparable and Emma was always attentive to the needs of Ellie. I know that she'll love and care for other animals just the same.
