Responsible/Trustworthy Dog Walker

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Emily and I grew up on both Long Island and North East Tennessee and have always had a love and passion for animals having been a pet owner practically my whole life. In 2015, I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre and am a certified voice teacher and professional performer! I absolutely love pet sitting/ walking as a side gig and have 24 years of personal pet experience with both dogs and cats and 6 years of professional dog walking experience in NYC. I believe that each animal is unique in their own way and my favorite part of the job is getting to know, love, and take care of your fur baby as if they were my own. Oh…and I also LOVE photography which means I can guarantee lots of great shots of your pet during our time together for you to keep for years to come. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pet!

Emily was great! She sent photos and updates for each visit and she helped our little Winnie not feel so lonely while we were away.

Emily has taken care of my cats a few times and has always done a great job, everyone is always happy and healthy when I get home. She also always sends great pictures which make me feel better about being away from my cats and confident they're being well taken care of!

Emily is beloved by my cats. While most cats can be indifferent to people, they adore her! She takes careful, loving, care of my cats. As a bonus, she takes the best photos!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety for your pet is my #1 priority. When first meeting your pet, I always like to allow them to come to me first as I am a new person in their territory. I am very patient with helping dogs (and cats) gain trust. When out for walks, I will always keep my eyes focused on the environment around us.

Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any areas your dog enjoys but most importantly any we should avoid. Every dog is different and I want to make sure your pet is safe enjoying their outing.

A typical day

I love watching dogs feel stimulated physically and mentally while on their walks. Because every dog is unique, I will always ask if there are any particular areas your pet really enjoys to go or if there are areas we should stay away from. Safety is number 1. I love taking them to familiar areas/smells and also letting them discover new ones as well. I also have experience with dogs parks if that is something they are used to and you can guarantee that I will be playing alongside and engaging with them so that they have a great time!
