Experienced, loving pet sitter!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Emily and I am a 29 year old from Washington,DC. I've been in LA since 2014. I was a full time dog walker and pet sitter in Boston for a year and have been full time for 6 years in LA. Check out my current pups on Instagram @Witts_Walks. I spend a lot of time outdoors and enjoy exploring the city and all of the surrounding neighborhoods. I like to jog with the dogs when weather permits and like to take dogs out to parks and the beach when I can! I have had 3 dogs in my life, my dachshund Charlie just passed away at age 10 right before Thanksgiving, and I miss him a lot. I am happy to take care of any plants, mail, etc that may need to be taken care of. I love dogs of all sizes and am good with active or lazy animals. Take a look at my pictures and reviews for more! I've had animals my whole life including dogs, lizards, snakes, rodents, etc and started out doing house and pet sitting for friends and family. When I moved to college I missed having an animal and starting doing pet sitting in the Boston area. In September of 2010 I started doing dog walking in addition to overnights and for about a year after graduation I was a full time dog walker and pet sitter. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rodents, reptiles, fresh and salt water fish, amphibians and even arachnids! I have experience giving pills as well as eye drops to pets of different sizes in the case your pet has those needs. Why I love dog sitting I got my first dog in elementary school and have loved them since I can remember. Big or small, I love to pet and play with all kinds of dogs. Being able to take care of so many great dogs over the last few years has been amazing. I was part of an amazing dog walking company and getting to know the pack as a group was really wonderful. My experience administering medication It depends on the demeanor of the animal, for the most part, pills, tick medications, eye drops and basic things are okay. I would need to be shown how to do injections to be comfortable with it

Emily did such a great job watching my cat for an extended vacation. I was nervous to leave him for such a long time but Emily provided thorough updates at every visit with pictures and videos. My cat warmed up to her immediately and I could tell he was very happy when she stopped by for her daily visit. She is the best!

Emily dropped in on Angel while I was at work this week. She was very friendly, kind, and took care of everything I needed. I felt comfortable when I was at work. Thank you so much.

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the breed just so I am aware, but I do not have any preference. If the dog tends to be a barker or aggressive I would like to know that as well.

A typical day

If it is not too hot or too cold we may venture to a park. If staying in your home, unless you have a specific route to stick with or locations to avoid, I will wander your neighborhood with the dog, letting us both explore. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In your home, wherever you would like the dog to sleep. Time I'll spend with your dog As much as you would like! Time I'll spend with your dog However much time the dog needs. If you would just like a walker, that is fine. If they need a full day friend and night time cuddle buddy, I can do that as well! Extra house-sitting services Any help you need, from light cleaning, to watering indoor and outdoor plants, to bringing in the mail are fine by me.
