We'll treat your dogs like family!

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover with two friendly dogs, 2 cats, and a horse (not on property). My dogs love to romp around in our 1 acre fenced in backyard, play fetch, and go on walks. I have been a pet owner for 20 years and have loved every minute of it. I am excited to share our home with your dogs - they will have so much fun that it will seem like they're on vacation. Until recently, I had an older, high-anxiety dog, so I have experience with helping her feel comfortable in the world. Since she passed over the rainbow bridge, we have adopted a young dog who is full of energy and wants to play and with all the dogs. Our other dog is now the matriarch, and at 10, she has a lot of energy but is not afraid to walk away when she needs space. I have a four year old daughter who is incredibly gentle with and respectful to pets. I teach Spanish at a few local colleges, so I’m off until the 20th of January. If you’re looking for care after that, I’ll make sure my work schedule is ok with you and your pup!

Emily could not have been a better choice for our pup! We got many updates and photos and felt totally at ease knowing that Zoey was with a wonderful family with tons of space to run and play and other friendly dogs to get to know! Our girl was so tired when she got home! I would highly recommend Emily to anyone. We are so grateful for her excellent care of Zoey and hope to use her again in the future!

Emily watched Frankie during our wedding weekend so we wanted to find someone who would care for our girl like we would... Emily did not disappoint! Frequent updates, lots of pictures, and she was even kind enough to meet us out so we could take some wedding portraits with Frankie! She was amazing and we would absolutely trust Emily to care for our dog again.

Emily was the best! She was friendly, flexible and fun! My golden doodle stayed for four nights while we were on vacation. Emily sent photos regularly which we loved because we missed our puppy. He looked like he was having a blast with the other dogs and still seems tired out from all the playing and running around in her huge fenced in yard a day. We will definitely book again!

I would like to know that the dog is good with other dogs and/or kids. I have no breed preferences. I also need to know that your dogs are up to date on their flea and tick control, as well as their vaccines.

I will take your dog on a fun walk and keep up with their pace. I will use treats if you want and make sure to clean up any messes.

I am a teacher so during the summer I have lots of extra time. In the fall, I’ll revise my hours. I’ll make sure your dog gets good exercise and some snuggles.
