5. Emily L.
About: My name is Emily and I absolutely love all furry friends! I used to have a rescue dog which was a papillon but sadly she became sick. :( I have also rescued a cat that we owned for couple months before finding him a forever home! I miss having a dog or pet around and would love to help care for your furry family member! I am a teacher so I am fairly open during the summer and still available on the weekends during the school year and some afternoons/evenings. I can send you their information if need be. I do have two sons who are 6 and 3 so I do ask that your pet be good with kids. They both absolutely love animals. I am a very active person and love taking love walks and runs outside. Our family is not in a place to own a pet permanently right now, so we love taking care of other animals! My yard is almost all fenced in (just one opening by the garbage that we can easily close off also). I have been around my dogs my whole life and enjoy entertaining them and so do my two kids!
