Emster's Paws came about somewhat pleasantly by accident. I was caring for a neighbor's cat as a favor, in turn that neighbor told a friend about me, and the next thing I knew, Emster's Paws was in business! 

I grew up in El Paso, Texas. We had 2 acres and about every animal you could think of at one point or another. We had dogs, cats, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, turtles, fish and lizards. I even fondly remember the pet monkey that my parent's friends had. I grew up loving and respecting all types of animals.

Although I have not had any formal training, I have had years of experience around many animals. I also spent most of my free time in FFA (Future Farmers of America) while in high school. I have learned a few cool tips and training tricks along the way. I am comfortable administering most medications including insulin.

After spending 26 years in New Rochelle, NY I recently purchased a home on the westside of El Paso and moved back with my 19 year old daughter Sarah and my 6 rescue cats. I am really enjoying rediscovering El Paso and everything it has become.
