I'll treat your dog like my own!
Pet care experience
Hi! My names Emma and I'm 23 years old. I've been dog sitting since I was 14. Ever since I was a baby I've grown up and had a special bond with every one of my pets. I believe that they understand a lot more than we think, so thats how I treat them. And I gain their trust by using love, affection, and sometimes even treats. In my years of doing this job I have watched puppies, dogs, and cats. My goal is that when I am sitting an animal, they never feel alone, and even though I'm not there owner, we grow a bond where they can trust and think of me as someone special in their life. So, when I don't see them for a while they still remember who I am, and get excited to see me. I will treat them like they’re my own, and I like to send pictures and videos to the owners to show them that they can go away, and their animal will be okay with me. I also have recently started working at a doggy day camp about a year ago, and can have the responsibility of watching up to 25 dogs by myself.
Reviews
Emma has been watching our crazy pup Finley while we manage a very busy summer! She has been AMAZING dealing with his high energy, all his quirks and needs. She has been very responsible in watching our home and I am pretty sure she leaves it cleaner than when we left. She updates throughout the stay and helps me feel at ease that Finn is in good hands- PLUS he absolutely adores her! I would recommend her to anyone!
Emma had my dog for an overnight stay. When I dropped off my dog I felt like I was leaving her with family. I had no worries while I left town because I knew my dog was being taken care of and receiving plenty of love. Will definitely work with Emma again for future stays!!
Absolutely Amazing! Emma took the time to come over and meet Lincoln before taking care of him for the weekend. Lincoln has a bit of a medical issue and she was able to not only take care of him, but also administer medicine. I would recommend her to anyone!
If our 2 dogs could talk, I believe they would be clamoring to write this review themselves. Since they can’t, their wagging tails and excitement in running to her door when we arrive for pet sitting are probably a good place to start in sharing our experience with Emma pet sitting for us. Emma welcomed our dogs into her family from the first time we worked with her. Emma is an absolute dog lover who takes exceptional care of our pets – allowing us to enjoy our time away knowing they are in a kind, caring, responsible and loving home. From playtime, to walks, adhering to special dietary needs and giving our senior dog the daily medication, she needs – Emma does it all. To top is all off, ask Emma to send a few photos of your dog while you are away, and you’ll question if you are having as good a time on your trip as the dogs are having on their vacation (with Emma).

I currently live in an apartment with two roomates I’ve met other people who are watching dogs, so I’m assuming it’s fine. Although, I would probably rather watch the animal in the comfort of their own home. Still, in all my years I find that the animal does the best in their own home.

Information Emma V. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences, I will take any breed. I like to know if any dog I'm watching has health issues, aggression in general or food aggression, is good with other dogs, is good with other people, or are allowed to go to the dog parks or local places for walks and hikes.
A typical day
When I dog I always like to have fun with them. We will go on walks, go to the dog park, play fetch with any toy they desire, go on hikes, and even drive in the car with me. I don’t mind to have them sleep with me at night, just like I would my own. A crate or dog bed is totally fine as well! Mostly, I just try to read their body language and do stuff that gets them excited or that they are comfortable with.

Availability
I currently attend Lynn University for a BFA in acting. My schedule gets pretty hectic, because it is based off of a block schedule. Therefore it can vary per month. But, the next couple months I have a lot of free time on my hands. And am just looking to do the work that I love, which is working with animals!
