Emma did a great job watching our dog! She sent pics and kept us informed the entire time we were gone. Last night we picked up a very happy healthy dog. I would highly recommend Emma!

About: I grew up with dogs, since my very first dog at one years old, Agnes and have loved dogs my entire life. After I bought my first home, the next big purchase was a dog of my own. I had grown up with labs but had wanted a Great Dane for a long time, so that's what I got. Jasper was the first dog I raised on my own and we had some challenges to work through but he was a great dog. When he was two years old we got Ruby, a sassy, olde english bulldog. She absolutely loved Jasper, he tolerated her. Unfortunately, Jasper passed away when he was 4 years old and both Ruby and I were devastated. It took awhile, but eventually we opened our hearts to Gus, another great dane. He was the sweetest boy, hated to be in trouble and only wanted to please. Ruby wasn't all that pleased with him but eventually she warmed up. When Gus was two I decided to get a french bulldog, Lilo. She was feisty from the start, wasn't even afraid of Gus who has like 100X her size haha. Lilo and Ruby though did not get along and even up until the day Ruby died, they were not friends. I raised three dogs together for 8 years, within the last two years I had to put down Ruby and Gus due to age related illnesses. I have a lot of experience with multiple breeds, ages and health problems. I am very comfortable giving medications, I am actually a nurse by trade, and I have a lot of love for dogs. I love snuggles and kisses. I am currently out of work, still searching, so right now my schedule is wide open. I am in the process of looking for a job and hoping to find a work from home position. My own dog, Lilo has free reign of the house and is very well behaved. With other dogs in my home, I allow them to have free reign of the main floor when I am home, would prefer them kenneled when I am not here, especially for their protection. I do dogs on the furniture. I do have a fenced in back yard and let the dogs run around in the back for awhile, as long as its not too hot (or cold) out.

Samantha took great care of my two cats who are not very used to strangers. They were well cared for and were very content when I returned. Absolutely zero complaints and I would highly recommend Samantha.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I have two fur babies, Tucker and Jax, so I truly understand how important trustworthy pet care is. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I work from home during the week until 4 p.m., so I’m mostly available Friday–Sunday. I can often be flexible on weekdays too, just reach out and I’ll do my best to make it work! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I make sure they feel secure in their own home and give them plenty of love, pets, and attention so they can relax while you’re away.

About: I have always been the main pet care taker growing up. I got my own dog when I was an 8th grader and have raised/trained her since a puppy. I get a lot of compliments on how well behaved she is. I just finished graduate school and waiting for my certification before I can get a job. So I have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment. I have two dogs at home already. One is purely outside, so I will play fetch with him and take him for long walks. The other is an inside dog, so I let her out about 3 times per day. She does accompany on my walks.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals. I worked at the Beresford Vet Clinic as a kennel tech. I would take out dogs and play with them twice daily. I made sure they had clean water and were feed. I also gave many dogs meds correctly and on time. I would clean up after all accidents and learned to read different dog's behavior. I currently work part time and have lots of time during the day. Before and after I work and on days that I have time off. I feel confident reading your animal's behavior and taking care of their specific needs. I have worked at two vet clinics and have learned how to promptly handle animals and I'm not worried about cleaning up any messes.
