Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy spending time with my clients, playing with them & giving extra love. I like to send updates with pictures & videos. I love all animals & I have volunteered at shelters for years. I adopted dogs of my own & I have other furry babies as well!

Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know in advance a pet’s triggers, allergies, behavior overall, quirks, favorite areas for dogs to walk or within the house, or favorite toys & treats. This helps me get to learn about the pet & be prepared.

A typical day

I enjoy walking dogs for any length of time up to a half hour. I like to walk in more quiet areas so the dog doesn’t get distracted or overwhelmed. I like being in areas I am familiar with as well. I also like playing with toys with pets or giving treats or simply giving extra love & attention.

Love for Paws

Cat care experience

I’ve cared for cats for over 10 years whether simply feeding, providing water & scooping litter as well as administering medication & socializing. I’ve cared for young to senior cats & learned different behaviors & quirks. I love caring for cats & met my own first cat when I was trying to get her socialized for a shelter, then adopted my second cat as well to give her a companion. Every cat is different but it can be agreed that they thrive on love & care, even if they don’t want you to know it.
