I currently work from home, so I am home most days. I have a large, fenced yard with two walkways that are also both fenced, and live next door to a big, dog-friendly park. Boarding is my most popular service, and I enjoy really getting to know your pup.

Information Emily B. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know if your dog has any routines that would make them feel more at home! It’s also great to know their training or command words!

A typical day

We usually start the day with some outside time and tug or fetch. Around midday I take whoever is here for either a solo or paired walk (depending on the dog’s personality and needs). After coming home and winding down, we may go to the beach for sunset or play in the yard some more before bed!

Pet care experience

**I am temporarily not taking one-time clients or large dogs while my dog undergoes cancer treatment. I AM accepting new boarding clients for locals!** I grew up with German Shepherds and pugs, and have over 20 years of experience with all breeds, from tiny to huge! I learned the importance of basic training very early, as we always had large dogs for family security. I try to only take one dog at a time (unless they are siblings of course!) so they have my undivided attention and are treated like a member of my family. My Bernese Mountain Dog, Gertie, is almost 10, and is a great help with other dogs. She knows many commands, can walk off-leash, and is friendly and respectful.

Wow, best house-pup-sitter ever! Emily took was amazing with our big Berner and made us feel so safe and comfortable having him in her care. She also left our house spotless 🤩. Communicative, caring, considerate, competent - who could ask for anything more?

Emily took amazing care of Bear and was happy the whole time. Emily was very responsive and incredibly easy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone in the Monterey area.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My pups felt so comfortable and happy from the moment they arrived. Having free access to the backyard was such a treat for them - they had the best time! Honestly, I was a little afraid they wouldn’t want to come home 😊 we can’t wait to book again and are so grateful for the wonderful care and love. Thank you Emily!!!
