Emily S. Pet Care Provider in New York, NY 10034

Dog experience
I used to be a full time dog walker in NYC. I grew up as an only child, with a dog as my best friend. I am comfortable walking with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am also comfortable walking dogs with some leash aggression, and enforcing training techniques used by the family. I have a Rover account with 30+ five star reviews you are welcome to ask me about.

Cat experience
First, I have to tell you the story of the cat that first stole ny heart. In November 2017, I was a full time dog walker, knew nothing about cats, when I stumbled upon an abandoned orange kitten who had been dumped in a carrier in a park near my home. I was told he had been left there in the cold with no one to bring him in for over six hours. I nervously took him home with me that night. My boyfriend came over to help the next day, and he ended up adopting him. The orange kitten has since been named Cheddar, and we are all still happily together. Sometimes the most meaningful experiences are ones you least expect.

Since rescuing Cheddar, and learning how to be a cat mom, I have had extensive work as a cat sitter for other families, and I do stray and feral cat rescue volunteering. I also have my TNR certification (trap, neuter, return.)
