Reliable Elmhurst Dog Watcher

Pet care experience

**because we have a baby, apologies in advance if your dog is not then best fit for me at the time of your request.** drop in visits, walks, and day care on mondays and tuesdays (subject to hours my son is at daycare) are my only services at this time. ** My dog passed away in May of 2019 at 15 years. He used to start everyday with a beautiful, patient walk, had meals prepared with love, and was given attention all throughout the day with unlimited potty breaks. Whenever I left my dog, I had a hard time. I wrote out long lists and ask for lots of photos to feel at ease, so I know exactly what it takes to care for your dog. Top level care and consideration the way YOU would do it is my goal so that you do not have to worry at all when your dog is with me under my watch. I know it can be hard to trust someone with your pup, but all I can say is...I've been there and I know! I follow directions easily, keep in constant touch, and have bonded with many repeat clients since joining Rover. I can't wait for you to be next. I also volunteer with one of the biggest all-breed dog rescues in Chicago. I spend most of my time working with the dogs who have been freshly transported from the shelter (usually sick with kennel cough, upper respiratory infections, etc.) and the dogs that need additional behavior work. These are dogs that are usually walked with muzzles, can be reactive on a leash, aggressive, etc. I still love them in spite of their quirks and find great reward in watching them evolve into really good dogs over time! I will not shy away from a dog that needs a little extra care and consideration, so please let me know what your dog requires to be successful and feel comfortable.

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!

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!

Emily is the best. Our dog came down with kennel cough and because of that, we were unable to board her as planned during our week away. Emily was able to dog sit for 7 days while we were out of town. She followed our schedule exactly as we left it, sent numerous updates and photos per day, and was respectful of our house. Most importantly, our dog was able spend the week with someone who gave her the same level of love and care as we do. We were able to enjoy our vacation (worry free). 10/10 would use Emily again.

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.
