20. Emilee C.
About: I've cared for animals since I was young, so I bring years of experience and a deep love for every pet I meet. One of my specialties is working with reactive dogs; I understand their unique needs and know how to keep them calm and comfortable during walks or home visits. Whether it's a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior dog needing a gentle touch, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full time as a daycare attendant and am going to college part time. I love being busy and working as a dog walker will fill in those little gaps I have! With my training as a daycare attendant, I am always vigilant to the world around me. I have a reactive dog myself so I'm keen on picking up what may set a dog off and quickly finding a way around it!
