“Emily was so sweet and wonderful to our fur baby while we were away. She was responsive, timely, and professional at every interaction. I felt at peace leaving Milo to be cared for by Emily and would 100% recommend her to anyone! :)”
About: I have taken care of many of my friends and families dogs ranging from puppies to older dogs. I have handled dogs of all kinds: bulldogs, aussies, zuchons, and many more. I can give medication, give baths, train puppy’s, etc. I work a full time job 8-5 on the weekdays. I am available most nights and come home on my lunch break. I am home most weekends. We do live in Groton but are willing to help out with drop offs and pickups. I have an extremely friendly mini Aussiedoodle that loves company. We have a large yard but is not fenced in. I love to go on walks or take the dogs outside to play.
