Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs. Our dogs have their own gated room that can easily be watched from other rooms on the main floor. Our dogs sleep in their own crates at night. We make sure that our dogs have food and water available throughout the day.

Information Emily & Donnie F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know what your pets usually routine is and I will do the best I can to accommodate it even if it doesn’t match my dog’s routine! If your dog requires medicine I am happy to administer oral medicine as well as anything along the line of drops or applying sprays/creams.
A typical day
My dogs get let out into our fenced yard atleast 4 times a day. Depending on the weather, I like to let them outside anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes at a time. Of course if it is hot or raining, I cut this time down substantially, making sure they have enough time to do their business and come back in. My routine with the dogs usually involves some pets and scratches when I first let them out of their crates in the morning. While they are outside enjoying their first yard visit of the day, I prep their food and water. I let them back in and then a few more scratches and pets may occur before I go about my day with my son. Throughout the day, I’ll be keeping an eye on them in their own gated room to make sure they are fine and still have water and food. After the morning, I’ll usually let them out around lunch time, 5 pm and then one more time before bed. Sometimes they’ll get let out more often than this, like if I am going to be outside with my son outside of the fenced in yard, I’ll sometimes let them out during this time as well.

Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs so I have been around them almost my whole life. I am comfortable around most friendly dogs and love to help them feel comfortable with me as well. We currently have two Besinji’s (a 3 year old neutered male and a 2 year old spayed female). I have also watched other dogs before including a senior dog that required medicine on a scheduled basis. Watching these other dogs included taking them for walks, prepping their meals, supplying treats, and of course playing and cuddling!
Reviews
Has been so caring and gentle with my CRAZY dog! Has helped him a lot with separation anxiety and is very flexible with schedules! I greatly appreciate them!
Emily was so gracious about taking our dog on a moment's notice, and sent us pictures and updates daily which put our minds at rest. We are so relieved to have a caring, reliable choice for dog sitting nearby! I'd recommend this family to anyone.
Emily and Donnie were wonderful sitters, great with communication and provided excellent care for our dog.
Emily and Donnie were, again, absolutely fantastic! I accidentally messed up the dates I requested, and they were so accommodating. I was out of town for the wholeeeee day, leaving very early and returning extremely late, and they kept him safe and very happy the entire time! Updates were frequently and detailed, which is great for this helicopter pet parent! 1000x would recommend to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!
