Prior Service Dog Raiser, Dog Lover
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm a prior puppy raiser for a service dog nonprofit, and I’ve had the privilege of raising three amazing dogs. My experience in training includes positive reinforcement and marker word training. We absolutely love dogs and have two of our own – a laid-back Labrador Retriever and a rescue mutt. Both are great with other dogs. As I work from home full-time, your dog will never be alone for more than 2-3 hours when I step out for errands. My husband and I are very active people who love hiking and walking, and I’m happy to tailor activities to meet your dog's individual needs, whether they love adventure or just a relaxed stroll. Your pup will feel right at home with us!
Reviews
Emily was wonderful with our energetic dog, Tallie. It is obvious that she is a dog lover. An added bonus is two friends (her two sweet pups) for Tallie to play with. A great experience and will definitely call on Emily again!
Emily was awesome! She was very communicative, sent a lot of updates and was the best for my dog! I most definitely will be leaving my dog with her whenever we are out of town! :)
Emily is a true dog lover and would be an amazing pet sitter She was a puppy raiser for a non-profit organization and raised 3 puppies to adulthood and provided great training for them all. She is knowledgeable in dog care, feeding, grooming, and training. She is super responsible and would care for your pups as her own. They couldn't be in better hands.

We have a fenced yard with a large slab of turf that your pup can enjoy. We can utilize baby gates and crating as needed, depending on your dogs' needs.

Information Emily & Alexander B. would like to know about your pet
How well does your dog do with other dogs? Large dogs vs small dogs? If your dog is unpredictable around other dogs or has been aggressive in the past, we will need to be informed so we can set up precautions, e.g. baby gates. Any behavioral issues I should know about? (Resource guarding, scared of sounds, counter surfing, etc.) How does your dog do on a walk? (Any pulling? Triggers? Leash aggression?) Is your dog crate trained? Does your dog have separation anxiety? Does your dog have destructive behaviors in the house?
A typical day
Our labrador loves to play tug-of-war with other pups. We also take our dogs on daily walks and hikes every few days. We enjoy playing ball in our yard, too

Availability
I work from home full-time, so am pretty flexible for boarding. I do travel for work about once a month, but if your stay overlaps with my travel, my husband will take over pet care.
