About Emily D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As Dorothy once said, there's no place like home! I come to you so that you can have peace of mind that your best friend has the most stress-free time while you're away!
Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet
The more knowledge I have about your baby, the better care I can provide them! So please, make sure you communicate all things good and bad with me: What are their favorite toys/activities/walk spots? Are there any parts of their body that they LOVE or HATE being touched/pet? Do they have any allergies? Are they food aggressive? Aggressive towards other animals on walks? Fearful of loud noises, cars, or children? Mouthy or jumpy when excited? Strong leash pullers? Also, let me know how many and how often you want pictures so that I can leave you BOTH satisfied!
A typical day
I have a lot of exploring to do myself around North Raleigh, and I'd love to take your dog with me! We'll walk on trails, around lakes, and catch some rays while people-watching. Whatever your dog likes, whether it's playing fetch at a dog park or just cuddling on the couch, I'm down! I'm also game to throw mice and other toys for your kitties, or just spoil them with treats if that's more up their alley!

Availability
I do have a full-time job Monday-Friday, but am available after work (I usually get off some time between 3:30 and 4:30) and would love to beat the rush-hour blues with some furry cuddles! My schedule is also typically flexible on weekends, and I am available most holidays.
