18. Emily G.
About: I’ve had my Yorkie for the past 9 years and have cared for him throughout college, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m super responsible, love dogs, and truly respect them. I bring years of personal experience, patience, and care to every pup I meet. Right now and for the next two weeks, I’m available any day at any hour. I have a very flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my routine—whether it’s last-minute walks, drop-ins, or extended sitting. I only offer care in the client’s home because I believe pets feel safest and most comfortable in their own environment. I respect your space, follow your routines closely, and make sure your pet feels secure, loved, and stress-free while you're away. Trust and safety are always my top priorities.

“Nadia is amazing with pups! Not only does she know how to deal with several breeds, sizes and temperaments, she is prompt and readily available. Communication is never an issue and she is always happy to send pictures and updates during the stay. She made herself available for a meet & greet immediately and was easy to coordinate with and happy to work around my schedule. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her services again the next time I am leaving town.”
