Tri Lakes Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Looking for a loving carer for your pooch or kitty while you're away? I have experience sitting for all kinds of pets! As an Air Force brat, I am used to catering to pets who have humans in the military. I understand that they may have to leave for long periods of time or on short notice and am sensitive to these needs. Dogs can expect my visit to include walks, games, cuddles, special treats and even trips dog parks if they get along with other canines! Previous pets have enjoyed treats such as home made chicken stock ice cubes and spent grain peanut butter biscuits. I grew up with multiple pets of our own and learned to be responsible for them at a young age. I lived in a community where it isn't uncommon for people to be away from their home and beloved pets, needing a trustworthy sitter. While there, I've been counted upon to watch many a pet for up to six months at a time. I've taken care of many animals and homes-- mostly cats and dogs, but I have some experience with chickens, horses, and goats. Heck, I even have babysitting and nannying experience! You may be able to tell that I'm known as a caring and responsible person. I take care of each home and pet as if it were my own so you won't need to worry about any disasters-- however I may oil your chopping boards or sharpen your knives during my stay.
Reviews
Emily (and her husband Ryan) were terrific with our dog, and very accommodating on a last minute overnight booking at their place. They sent several pictures and videos so I was comfortable and could tell our dog was having a grand time. He got walked on a great trail, and played with the puppy they had there. We picked up a tired and happy dog the next day. I would definitely recommend Emily and use her again if we needed boarding.

Information Emily O. would like to know about your pet
I always prefer to meet pets before I sit for them, just to soothe any anxiety or nerves. I am comfortable sitting for any size or breed, but I know you or your pet may be nervous. At this meeting I would find out everything I need to know to best care for your pet. Questions will include: Do they take medications, have special eating habits, or a bedtime routine? Are they comfortable going for a car ride to the park or should I stick to walks near to home? Are they allowed to sit on my lap or your beautiful new sofa?
A typical day
I choose where to go for walks based on the location of your home and the needs of your pet. I would love to take your pup for a walk in your neighborhood or to Ute Valley, Bear Creek, or on the Santa Fe Trail. When your pets stay with me, we can walk to Palmer Lake and a handful of more strenuous hikes. If you are working on training then you can expect me to continue the hard work. I don't have pets of my own (not for a lack of love!) so I may end up spoiling your pet with lots of attention and play time! I also love the chance to make some homemade treats, depending on the nutritional needs of your pet.
