“Alexxis is amazing! She’s on time, reliable, and wonderful with my pup. She’s been great when I’ve needed a quick schedule change or with any special needs my dog has. She’s the best”

“Camille responded to my request within the hour and was able to come for a first time, last minute, dog walk when the dog walker I had lined up cancelled. Judging by the smile on my pups face in the photos she sent, I’d say she took good care of him. Thank you Camille!”

About: Hi, I'm Emily and animals have been at the heart and center of my entire life. Animals bring quality and enrichment to our lives and I like to give that back in return. I've been fortunate to have animals since I was a little girl, from pocket pets, to cats, dogs, goats, horses and even a cow! In a professional capacity, I was a veterinary technician for over 8 years, providing emergency and routine care, for both large and small animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, chickens, cows, horses, and donkeys while owners were away for about the past 10 years. The last 4 years, I have been active in kennel clubs, taking classes and learning about dog training. I am currently co-teaching obedience classes and plan to continue learning about dog behavior and training. I am currently taking clients for drop in visits and walks. Drop in visits will be tailored to your pet's specific needs, providing potty breaks, fresh food/water, cleaning, comfort, & play. Walks provide physical and mental stimulation, companionship, basic skills and play. I am currently homeschooling my son so I am more flexible in my day-to-day hours. Safety is of utmost importance. I am committed to your pet's mental, physical health, and safety overall. I will take care as I do my own. I recognize that each animal has its own personality, some are outgoing, some are shy. I will allow them to be who they are so that they can feel safe in my presence. I will communicate with you based on your preference. I can provide reports at the conclusion of each check-in or end of day, also happy to send photos if your pet is comfortable with that.
About: I've been caring for my three dogs and one cat since 2017 and since then I've had several opportunities to help friends and family make sure their pets are taken care of during vacations or business trips without having to pay for expensive and stressful kennel services. I love caring for all animals and especially love meeting new ones I have a very open and flexible schedule as my primary occupation is as a freelance writer and I make my own hours. I love visiting and caring for animals since it's almost like a break from working for me I keep my visits organized by making use of check lists to make sure everything gets done well and in the correct order. If your pet is very particular or has a strict routine then no worries! As long as you let me know what's needed I'll make sure it's done.
