Animal Lover in Raleigh 🐾 ❤️

I have been dog+cat sitting for 15 years and love all animals. I love filling any free time I have staying active with pups! I work 100% remote during the workweek and my schedule is very flexible. I am new to Raleigh but dogsat & dog walked for multiple repeat customers in San Diego and would be happy to provide any references.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always feel most comfortable if we do a meet up or consultation before any stay to make sure we’re both feeling good about it. I will ask you any of your pets needs, allergies, aggressions or habits and then we will figure out a plan that works for both of us during a stay, walk or drop in. In my home, dogs are treated like family and allowed on all furniture, but I will respect your house rules and what you prefer!

Emily is a saint and I can’t express how grateful I am for her!! I’ve never been as calm and confident in leaving my dogs with someone before and am so thankful. If you are needing someone to understand and be patient with a dog that might be a bit difficult with strangers, she’s your girl!!

Emily was absolutely amazing with my Golden Retriever Frankie. I was so nervous leaving him bc he can be…a lot. She was amazing. Great communication. Treated him like he was her own. I highly recommend her and will use her again.

Emily took great care of our Juniper! Her own pup has a sweet and gentle demeanor and made Juniper feel at home away from home. She got plenty of exercise, and we were sent many updates along the way. She’s already looking forward to her next stay!

Highly highly recommend Emily! She made me very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She made sure to give lots of updates and photos which I loved and made sure to ask if she was unsure about anything. Definitely will be booking with her again:)

Emily is amazing! Hank had an amazing weekend with Emily and her fur babies. We have had trouble finding sitters in the past, but felt very comfortable leaving our 9 month puppy with Emily. Thank you so much for loving Hank!
