Animal lovers w/2 happy pups 🐶❤️
Pet care experience
Both my husband and I grew up with dogs and cats our whole lives, and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. We currently have a 4 year old golden retriever (Jetty) and a 2 year old lab mix (Hadley). We are experienced with crate and potty training pups, as we got both of our dogs when they were very young and also grew up training our childhood dogs. We have cared for several different neighbor’s dogs in the past, and love having the extra pup or two to play with. We also have specific experience caring for older dogs that require routine medication administration and special love and care, requiring a bit more attention than normal. Additionally, we have cared for dogs with severe anxiety both separation induced and not, and understand that every dog is different and requires unique care! We love spending time outside and have a nice fenced in backyard for our pups to play in. While Jetty prefers to stay inside, cuddle, and eat snacks, Hadley loves playing with other dogs outside; so, regardless if your dog is super active or more laid back, they will be in good company either way! Both of our dogs play very well with other dogs. My husband and I both work full time, but are available on Friday evenings and all day on the weekends. When we care for animals at other houses, we make sure to keep them on sidewalks or quiet streets and, if a fenced in yard is not available, we keep them on leads or leashes, depending on what they are used to or comfortable with.
Reviews
Our beagle had a great time with two new doggo friends. Emily and Frank were great with communication and very flexible with timing.
Emily and Frank could not have been a better fit for our needs. They are kind, responsive and responsible. They took excellent care of our puppy Henry and would highly recommend them to anyone. They did a great job keeping us posted with pictures and funny stories while we were gone. Henry came home tired and relaxed after a fun weekend. He was clearly well cared for. Thank you!
Emily and Frank were the highest quality caregivers for our pup. They are mature, responsible, and clearly love dogs. They sent pictures regularly and were immediately responsive. We are so glad we chose them and will use them again!
Frank and Emily were truly amazing! We got daily updates and pictures and our dog was so happy and relaxed staying in their home. They are welcoming and communicate so well, thanks for everything!
About Emily & Frank S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We treat every dog that we care for as if they were our own. We have relied on Rover for our dogs in the past, and so we understand how much trust is required when looking for people to watch your pets! We make sure to love on each and every dog we watch like we would want other people to do with ours!
Information Emily & Frank S. would like to know about your pet
We would like to know if a dog has any unique fears, behaviors, or aggressions so that we can make sure they enjoy their stay/playtime as much as possible!
A typical day
We love taking dogs on walks and hikes and playing in our backyard. We also enjoy playing tug of war and catch, specifically. If it’s especially hot outside, we will fill up the doggy pool in our backyard and let them splash around, if they’d like.

Availability
We start off our days with a bathroom break and breakfast followed by an additional bathroom break and play time. Then, we let the pups rest up and prepare for another play session or walk (maybe two) before it’s time for dinner and more bathroom breaks later in the day. This schedule is also situation dependent and may change based on the dog’s specific temperament.
