“Abby dropped in to my home twice a week in September to take care of my black lab pup while I was at work. She brought her pup Julia too. The pictures she’d send of them playing was priceless and showed a great time had by all!”
About: I grew up caring for animals, dogs, cats, horses, fish, cows, chickens, and a goat, having pets most of my life. My background is in healthcare while in the military. I have been my father's caregiver which allowed me to help foster puppy litters to adult dogs and care for a pack of 8 dogs-4 of which are mine while caring for him. I can now enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I am interested in always learning about animal behavior and all aspects of their care. I have been my father's caregiver but sadly he passed at the age of 94 and would enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I have an open schedule that is veryflexible. I am blessed to have my son's help caring for our dogs, allowing me to provide in-home and overnight care if needed. The number one goal is to adapt personalized routines for your pets so they are happy and healthy.
“Emilyanne is the best. This is our second time using her, this time just for a drop in since we had back to back events on Saturday and didn't want to leave the girls that long without a potty break and some love. Emilyanne noticed I forgot to put a salad dressing back in the fridge and took care of that and started my dishwasher for me. It is the small things that are so huge that she does even just during a drop in. Plus I know my girls love her so much and it gives me peace of mind. I can't say enough good things about Emilyanne and her communication, knowledge, promptness, and ability to trust her 100%.”
About: I'm quite versatile and can adapt to stressful situations easily, should they arise. I have experience raising my own pets, helping raise others, and training pets. I can provide care for pets of any size, species, and age. I administer medications, provide ample playtime and exercise, and most importantly, snuggle to the heart's content (so long as your pet tolerates it). I've sat in the past for birds, lizards, dogs, cats, and fish, and I'll love your animals nearly as much as you do! I'm quite passionate about keeping spaces clean and comfortable for the pets as well, as I am quite organized and know that nobody wants to work with a disorganized sitter. Pet sitting is my full-time occupation as of right now, so I can be there for your pets whenever they need it. I do have a busy schedule, but I will always ensure that your animals come first and I can be with them as often as they need it. I always ensure that pets are treated as well as the humans in the household. I like to sleep and snuggle with pets, take them where I go as much as is permitted, and play with them outside as often as possible. I am not quick to force animals to spend time with me, I always let them have the choice to approach me first, but if they adjust quickly and enjoy my company, I really lay on the love.

While we were away, North Idaho experienced "4th Winter" and the temp inside the house dropped a bit low, so she let me know and worked with me to get the pellet stove going to warm up the place.
