Emily Shrupka, boarding in Kelowna

Hey!! My name is Emily, and I’m a microbiology student here in Kelowna! I’ve always been a huge animal lover, whether they’re furry, feathered, scaly, or anything in between. I’m a bit of a nature nerd and love spending my free time outdoors, going on walks, and exploring new places. I’ve grown up around animals and have such a soft spot for all their different personalities. I’d love to get to know your pets and give them the same love and attention I’d give my own!

I’ve been around animals for pretty much my whole life! My family had a dog since I was 5 years old who sadly passed away earlier this year, and I currently have two cats in my life who live at my mom’s place. My friends also know how much I love animals, so I’m usually their first call whenever they need someone to look after their dogs or cats! I’ve pet sat for friends on multiple occasions and am comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. Having cared for my own dog well into his senior years, I also understand how much patience and extra attention older pets can need. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each one’s little quirks and personality :)
