I’m currently working part time as a pickleball coach during the day and as a bartender at night (never longer than a 5 hour shift)! My pickleball schedule differs week to week, but when I have enough notice I can schedule my lessons around my pet care. I’m never on the court for longer than 3 hours. Any moment I’m not at work will be spent with your pup!

Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience taking my own dogs to a trainer and I’m very comfortable with crating your dog if needed, going through exercises together and going on walks. I love to take them for walks and play with them if they get the zoomies inside! I always keep them on a leash not only for their safety, but for everyone else’s.

Information Emily F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I need to be aware of, such as a strict medication schedule or any aversions to other animals/people.

A typical day

I’m a big believer in not only physical stimulation but mental stimulation as well! Playing with toys, allowing them to fully sniff to their hearts content while on a walk, and doing training with them is essential to “wearing them out” and ensuring they have a productive day. I also love to be a cuddle buddy with lower energy dogs who just want to snuggle!

Cozy care & cute updates

Pet care experience

My family has never been without a dog since I’ve been born! I have been trusted to look after and play with my dogs and my friends/neighbors pets since I’ve been 12 years old, and now I’m doing it professionally. I have always loved animals (I’m also vegan) and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pets personality! I firmly believe there’s no such thing as too many photos of a pet ❤️

Emily was a wonderful sitter over the 4th of July and especially attentive to my anxious pup. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay and the dogs clearly loved her! Would highly recommend

Very sweet girl loved her response mode and how kind she is. The pictures I received were wonderful and even of our cat. Overall I was Happy there were a couple things that I wish were different like more time at my home like discussed for lacy is extremely high anxiety. I was very aware of a sat morning exercise class but sat there were a lot of times gone. I'm not sure of what food was given to her as well but she had no water in her gallon jug in kitchen. Overall just a few things that I wish were different but a great girl.

Emily was phenomenal! She updated us regularly and took such great care of our pups, which can be a handful! I had such a peace of mind with her taking care of them!
