Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Emily, and I'd love to love on your dog! I've been a dog person my whole life, and have been dog-sitting and dog-walking for the past few years. I have a big house with a nice yard, a car, a love of walking, and a huge heart for every dog I am lucky enough to meet! Your dog will be treated like family, because I know how sacred that human-canine connection is. I have no problem with special instructions for your companion pup, and I absolutely adore older dogs. I have experience with administering medications and taking care of senior or otherwise sick dogs. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I am home for most of the day. I intentionally only board one dog at a time, so that your dog is getting 100% of the care and attention that it deserves. I am always happy to talk or answer any questions you may have. When your dog is with me, you can rest easy knowing that they are being loved on while you're away. Each dog that I sit or walk becomes a part of my extended family- I love them all so much! I can't wait to meet you and your sweet pup pal!

Emily and her husband are
Emily is just wonderful! She sent us pictures of our dog, Lucy, regularly throughout the time she was dog sitting, along with updates on Lucy’s behavior and progress. She’s professional, and really knows how to work with dogs. We will definitely be calling upon her to dog sit again, and soon, will be asking her for regular dog walking services too! We highly recommend Emily for all your dog sitting/walking/boarding needs. She’s really awesome!
Emily was amazing with Pablo. She was constantly providing updates as to his stay and made me feel real comfortable about Pablo’s stay while being out of town. She understood his background of Pablo being an anxious dog and ensured he would in the safest hands. I’m so thankful I found Emily and would easily recommend her for anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter no matter what the temperament of the dog is.
Emily was PERFECT and a lifesaver for us and our boy Oxxo. She and her partner Kyle watched our sometimes-anxious and snuggle-loving Chihuahua for 2 weeks. Oxxo has isolation anxiety and small-dog-big-personality traits, so we were initially worried about finding the right person to watch him. However, off the bat, we knew he'd be in fantastic hands. We really appreciated Emily's attentive care, from our first meet-and-greet (where she made sure to write down any and all details about our boy and our travel plans) to picking Oxxo up at the end of his stay (when she made sure she could give us his "report card" in person). Emily always kept us in the loop with daily updates and lots of photos, and went above and beyond in helping mitigate some fleas Oxxo managed to scoop up. She definitely has the touch and sensitivity with pups that all fur-parents could hope in a dogsitter! During our goodbyes, it was heartwarming to see Oxxo run up and respond so well to Emily and Kyle, and it was obvious that he had a really good stay at their home. We're so grateful that Oxxo had Auntie Emily and Uncle Kyle to take care of him while we're away, and hope that they'll be available for future dogsits!

Information Emily C. would like to know about your pet
During our meet and greet, I'll ask you about all the basics: food, exercise, sleep and behavioral habits. But I'd also like to know about what make your dog...them! Do they have anxiety or places they don't like being petted? Are there certain toys or treats they love the most? I have a great attention to detail, and I'm happy to learn about any little personality traits or needs your dog may have.
A typical day
When your dog is with me, we'll be adventuring all throughout the bay! We'll walk along the beach in Alameda, go Joaquin Miller Park, and any other place with some sun and a pretty trail!
