Emily can care for
Availability
I currently work part-time as a Registered Massage Therapist and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, which allows me to be available when you and your pup need me most. I'm fully available Friday through Monday, and with a little notice, I can often accommodate Tuesdays through Thursdays as well. This flexibility means I can provide consistent care and attention, whether it’s for a quick drop-in or extended stays.

About Emily D.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m lucky to have 33 beautiful acres for my pups to explore, so they get plenty of space to roam and enjoy the outdoors. But we never go it alone—I'm always right there with them, whether we're hiking through the woods, wandering the trails, or playing with their favorite toys. When we're inside, you'd never guess how adventurous they are—because they instantly transform into the biggest lap dogs! They love nothing more than curling up for cuddles, getting cozy in bed, and enjoying their favorite treat: relaxing coconut oil massages.
Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dogs have any walk preferences, allergies or sensitivities, behavioural concerns (separation anxiety, resource guarding, and more), or any medical concerns.
A typical day
Whether your dog loves a leisurely walk, an energizing jog, or a bit of exploration, I’m happy to match their energy and needs. We can head out on an adventure, play outside with their favorite toy—or even get creative and turn sticks, leaves, or found treasures into fun playtime. On quieter days indoors, I love coming up with interactive games like DIY treat puzzles to keep their minds engaged. Most importantly, I’ll care for your dog with the same love and attention I give my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and supported every step of the way.

Tail-wagging care for your pup
Pet care experience
I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny Boston Terriers to gentle giants like Great Danes. I've helped raise puppies, cared for senior dogs, and supported rescue pups as they transition into their new homes. I’m comfortable managing multi-dog households, having looked after up to five dogs at once, including providing post-operative care and administering medications when needed. Currently, I share my home with two amazing dogs of my own—Hank, a Dogo Argentino, and Harley, a Cane Corso—who bring so much joy and love into my life. I treat every dog I care for like family and always aim to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment while their humans are away.

Reviews
Emily is very responsible and caring ; our dogs took to her immediately 😁 Our flight was slightly delayed upon our return - we let her know and she responded immediately that we were not to worry she had us covered. Also our dogs are senior country dogs and Springers known to take a dip in one of our ponds so possibly getting a bit muddy… shewas sensitive to their needs as active and senior dogs and also hosed them down when needed-they may have looked even cleaner than when we left! lol Thank you Emily!
Emily was wonderful with our two dogs .
We had done a meet and greet previously and the dogs took to her immediately. We had booked her for a longer stay later this Fall but had a short event to attend sooner for which we had booked another sitter. Emily stepped in for the overnight stay at last minute when original sitter unfortunately had to cancel-all went well - she was punctual and and dogs seem to love her- Thank you Emily- puppies look forward to seeing you for the longer stay soon😄
Emily is kind, calm, professional-we returned to a home of happy dogs and the cat - we look forward to having Emily work with us again.
