Compassionate Canine Care with Emily LLC
Licensed, Insured, Reliable Care
My curiosity and appreciation for animals began at a very young age. At the age of 14, I began volunteering at a local animal shelter and quickly learned that animal welfare was the career calling I was destined to pursue. Over many years, I transitioned from working at an animal shelter to working in veterinary medicine and connected and cared for countless dogs and cats. I've always appreciated the lessons in understanding and advocating for these loving companions.
I know every animal experiences life differently than I do. In a world that can be unpredictable and sometimes unkind, I strive to be a steady source of good things and understanding for the animals and people I work with. More than anything, I believe every being deserves kindness and the freedom to have more choices, and I feel most at home among others who share this same belief.
When I’m not walking dogs or caring for animals, I love spending time with my partner, our two dogs, and our cat. I also enjoy diving into creative projects and continuing my learning.
​
Thank you for your trust in my care and I extend a warm and grateful welcome to you.
