Hi, I'm Emily. I grew up on a farm taking care of all kinds of animals, cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens, cows, horses, etc. I always had a cat or dog in the house, so I know how they need lots of exercise and attention. I would love to be able to help families take care of their fur babies when they're not able to!
