Availability

I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun.

Safety, trust & environment

I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

No children present
Dogs allowed on bed

Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Information Emily C. would like to know about your pet

My preference is for dogs who are friendly or neutral with others, as they’d be coexisting with mine. I would prefer to kennel pups if I need to leave, but if yours are safe to free roam, I can put my dogs away.

A typical day

If your dog likes to sleep in bed, that’s completely fine. All furniture is ok! My dog is the king of the castle so that’s how it will be with yours. I have lots of toys to play with while I work, or they can sleep in a little donut bed right next to my desk.

Reliable care for small/medium pups

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible.

Emily is a great sitter and Roma had a great time with Emily and her dog. She takes great care of Roma and we will definitely be back

She was very flexible with our drop off and pick up and sent tons of pictures and videos. Ozzie had a great time!

All I can say is wow! Fantastic communication, so many photos, and made sure my dogs were doing well and let me know. Every single thing I could’ve asked for. Emily is amazing! Very thoughtful about dogs and dog interaction and checked with me on absolutely everything. She is great and earned both my and my pups trust

Emily was a an excellent puppy sitter for our miniature schnauzer! We wanted to visit The Mall of America on our way to our lake vacation. Emily’s timely communication and updates allowed us to enjoy our trip to the mall without worrying about our puppy. I highly recommend Emily as a dog sitter!
