Emily is fantastic!! She treated Hank like he was her own, and her care and compassion is unmatched. I cannot recommend her enough!

Ollie loves his walks with her! She’s always very thoughtful and adjusts based on his moods and energy level, which I really appreciate. She’s prompt, communicative, and leaves the sweetest detailed note cards after each walk. Highly recommend!

Boarding • jun 02, 2021

Emily was simply the best for our 5 y/o Husky, Walter. Walter was locked away in a cage in the animal shelter for 7 months before being rescued by our family, and Emily understood that struggle every step of the way. She made sure to be home the whole time Walter was boarded at her home. This made me very happy (and Walter too) because I didn’t have to worry about Walter’s separation/crate anxiety acting up. She took him on nature walks and in her huge backyard a ton. Walter was allowed to sleep freely without a cage at night and during the day. Emily sent a ton of pictures and assured me that Walter was in good hands! Thank you Emily for giving my dog an enjoyable stay while I was on vacation. You are the best!

Doggy Day Care • maj 17, 2021

Bach spent a quiet restful day with Emily and family. He was very happy and well cared for. Even though it was the first visit and only for a day, he seemed very happy and peaceful when we picked him up. It's always difficult to introduce a dog to a new "friend" and household but Emily made it easy and comfortable for Bach. Bach recommends her!

Schedule

I work from home. I am here to walk dogs and take them out typically all throughout the day. I do require that your dog is able to self soothe (nap, chew on a bone, etc) if I need to be on a call or meeting for an hour. Dogs that require nonstop attention will not be a fit for me.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and live near a nature trail. I typically am home with your dog the entire time, and so crating not necessary

A typical day

We can walk all around my neighborhood, go on the route you suggest/prefer, or just let the flow of the day move us! We also have a fenced yard, however dogs that can jump higher than 4-feet would not be allowed to free roam, nor will dogs with high prey drive due to living next to a nature trail. Please detail your dog's yard behavior and your comfort level when booking.

I love and care for all breeds, all ages, all sizes, all needs! You let me know your preferences and details (no info is too much) and I will take it from there. I do require a meet & greet to ensure it is a good match for safety and comfortability.
