Can’t thank Emily enough for watching our pup while we were out of town for the week! Junie is particular around other dogs and can be a handful, but we didn’t worry a bit while she was being cared for by Emily

Emily took great care of Tori. From the moment Tori walked into her home, she was completely comfortable, which says a lot. It was clear right away that Emily is very experienced with dogs. She kept me up to date throughout the stay with messages and updates, which I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

We so appreciate Emily’s flexibility and feel so at ease leaving our German Shepherd with her whenever we go out of town. Definitely recommend!

Emily is the absolute best. She’s taken care of odie in the past and he’s recently been diagnosed with heart failure so his medication and overall care/needs have increased. She’s truly a gem and one of the few people I trust to take care of our baby! We’d be lost without her. Thanks Emily! Can’t recommend her enough ❤️🌟

Schedule

I am in the office on Mondays and Tuesday but am never gone more than 7 hours. Besides those two days, I have the ability to work from home so your pup will get all the attention that they need staying with me. I know being in a new space can be stressful for dogs, so I like to make sure I stay home with them as much as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is your pup's home and I want them to be as comfortable as possible. I like to stick to their home routine as much as possible so they don't feel so overwhelmed. I live in a very spacious, ground level apartment so your pup won't have to deal with any elevators or stairs. I do not have a yard, but I have plenty of potty spots around my neighborhood and will always take your pup on a nice walk.

A typical day

Activities I offer will depend on the individual dog's preferences, energy level, and any specific requirements or limitations. High-energy dog? Bring on all the long walks and puzzles. Low-energy dog that likes to sleep all day? Bring on all the cuddles and belly rubs. Photo shoots and delicious treats are always a must though.

Let me know of any quirks that your pup may have. For example, are they reactive, muzzle trained, scared of strangers, destructive when left free roam, incontinent, etc. I've dealt with all of these and more, but just like to be prepared!
