Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsive & responsible dog lover
I work in a hybrid office (remote two days/week) and have found that dogs make the best assistants when working from home. I commute downtown on the bus, so in-office days can be unpredictable. For this reason, depending on the date, I’ll either be home with your pet(s) all day or will be gone for long stretches! My schedule can be flexible, but some seasons are busier than others, so booking in advance is best. I had Golden Retrievers growing up - big, affectionate, needy dogs. I have since cared for everything from mixes to Yorkies to mastiffs and have loved them all. Since travel can be worrisome for your furry friend, I try to do whatever I can to ease the stress for dogs, whether that’s simply minimizing disruption to their routine or showing them a little extra love. I love taking dogs on walks, because it means that I get to be outside, too! I am happiest when house- AND dog-sitting but am available for drop-in visits and walks, too. I'd be glad to take dogs on social outings if requested. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs and look forward to meeting your pup!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always try to meet the animals with the owners present before agreeing to any booking. I also appreciate a (masked) home visit to get a run-down of routines like bringing in the mail, plant watering, and general upkeep of things. I provide daily updates and pictures of your animals and always let clients know if I have plans to be gone for more than an hour or two. I only invite pre-approved guests, if any, and try to treat owners’ homes as if they are my own!
Ratings and reviews
Emily was great! Easy to communicate with, treated our home with respect, and took great care of our pets. She was also very flexible when we had a change in plans. Much appreciated!! Would definitely book her again!
Emily did a great job and kept us informed on how or dog was doing. We will definitely use her again!
Emily did an amazing job watching our two dogs. On a last minute booking she made the time to come over to meet them before and asked thorough questions. She was very communicative throughout her stay with constant updates on our pups. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!!
Emily was very helpful and communicative during her stay at my house with my pets. She took good care of my home and my pets, she sent pics regularly and my pets seemed very comfortable with her and were calm when I got home. I would definitely book with Emily again!
Emily is great! So reliable and keeps me updated with pictures throughout my trip. I’m thankful we got connected here!
Emily took good care of our pups! We’ll be using her again.

Schedule
I generally work 9-5, but I can make time for a midday walk or play break when I’m home! I’ll likely leave your pets alone briefly to go to the gym or run an errand here and there, but I’ll give them extra attention when I return. When I’m in the office, I’ll be gone for up to 9-10 hours, though I’ll do my best not to leave them that long. I’m more of a night owl and prefer not to rise early. That said, I try to adjust to pets’ schedules as best as I can.
