Pet care experience
I’ve owned large dogs and cats for the past 15 years between growing up as a kid and living with significant others. I’m a very clean person and have been told that I spoil my furry friends way too much! I don't believe there is such a thing. I have experience working with large breeds (German Shepard’s, Pitbulls and Mastiffs) and will work on basic commands depending on age. If you already have training in progress, we will discuss your goals and your plan so that I can implement the same while you are gone to ensure consistency with your pet. Willing to travel out of my immediate area. You pets are priority while you’re away! Potty and breakfast/dinner are first up before I take care of myself. There is nothing better than snuggles and walks! Have a fenced in yard and the weather is nice? Let’s toss a ball around after work or at lunch time! I come to you to ensure that your pet is in their most comfortable environment. It’s already stressful for them enough without you there! I love being outside so if you have a yard or a favorite walking route I look forward to enjoying it with your dog!
Reviews
My husband and I were so impressed with Emily and her team! I am new to Wilbraham, MA and hoped to establish myself with a pet sitter, but wanted to find just the right person. Emily booked a 'meet and greet' and came to meet my senior dog and cat with her team member. They were responsive to both of them and made me feel comfortable that their medication schedules could be handled. I was most impressed with the communication I received prior to the stay, but really wowed by the updates and pictures I received while we were away. It made me feel so happy knowing they were being well cared for in their own home by a compassionate person. I would definitely use Emily and her team again and would highly recommend them. I came home to a happy, healthy dog and cat and a tidy home. What more could you ask for!?
We cannot say enough great things about Emily! This was our first big trip away from our two dogs (one bigger Chesapeake bay retriever and one little mini Australian Shepard). All we kept thinking about leading up to the trip was missing our wiggle butts and Emily could not have made us feel more comfortable. Leading up to the trip, she came over to meet the dogs and made sure they were comfortable with each other and called us beforehand to cross check all our notes. Each day she would send pictures and videos, assuring us of everything going on and that our dogs were comfortable and happy! The messages we received daily helped us last the long weekend away. Not only being away but coming home to what felt like an untouched space! We feel so lucky to have had Emily stay with our fury family members and take such great care of them (and she traveled way out of her normal range for us!!) If you are looking for a trustworthy, caring and all around perfect dog sitter - Emily is your go to girl!
Emily was a great find for us! Our puppy requires a fair amount of work and a strong hand, and Emily handled him perfectly. He settled in quickly with her and was relaxed and on task throughout her stay. She was great during the setup beforehand, helping us plan and communicate details about Hank's competencies and routine, and we got lots of great pictures and updates during the sitting. Looking forward to booking again!
IF YOU NEED EVER A DOGSITTER….Emily was amazing!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I went on our honeymoon and were super anxious about leaving our girls. We have two pups, one of which is very anxious and reactive. Emily even came to my house a couple times to get acquainted with the dogs before she came to stay for the week! Right from the start, I knew she had knowledge and experience with animals and was very professional in how she presented her business! She wasn’t afraid to ask questions and make sure she knew exactly what my girls needed. I was so impressed with her care from day one when she put me at ease; reminding me that they’ll be well loved and taken care of! My dogs can be needy…. and Emily stepped right up: walking them, getting up early for them, and making sure they were happy while we were away. Even getting them to take their allergy pills with ease (which even I can’t do). I can’t express how thankful I am that Emily stepped into our lives! She sent us pics, videos and updates throughout the week, even updating me on house things. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our dogs. Emily left the house perfectly clean and made sure our girls were taken care of. I’ve never had a sitter stay at my house before with Molly and Pickles but I 100% will be having Emily back for any trip we may take in the future! She was professional, honest, kind, and most importantly, I could tell her love for our animals! Thank you, thank you!! ?????☺️

I come to you! So your pets are in their environment that they know and love. I offer a combined pet and home sitting service while you’re away! Bringing in the mail/packages, trash day, watering plants and walks all rolled into one nice package!
Information Emily B. would like to know about your pet
Are they on any medication? Do they get along with other dogs that we may come across while on a walk? Do you crate your dogs or are they left out in the house?
A typical day
I like to keep the dogs as relaxed as possible considering you aren’t home with them and that’s stressful enough! We can walk the neighborhood if you have a set route they like or play in the backyard! Snuggles are always welcome with me!

I’m currently working in the Sabattus/Lewiston area and am willing to travel to pet sit within an hours commute to work from your house. I am unable to offer noon time potty breaks if it is a mid week booking.
