Lots of love to give!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a genuine dog lover with a heart full of love to give and a home that’s ready to welcome your furry friend. I work from home most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, affection, and care throughout their stay. My main preliminary requirements are that your dog is house trained, and can be left alone for up to four hours for when I do need to leave the house intermittently. Earlier this year, I said goodbye to my beloved golden doodle, Lola, after 11 wonderful years together. While I’m not quite ready to bring a new dog into my life full-time, I miss the joy and companionship that dogs bring. Every dog I care for is treated like family. I know each pet is unique and deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to understand their routines, quirks, and preferences to make sure they feel right at home. Please don’t hesitate to share anything that will help your pup feel their best while you’re away, I’m here to make their time with me as stress free and joyful as possible. Let’s set up a meet and greet! I’d love to get to know you and your four-legged family member! 🐶❤️

Emily was so amazing with Jessie! Upon meeting, we immediately felt at ease with Emily and knew Jessie would be well taken care of. She treated Jessie like her own and kept us updated on how she was doing every day. Jessie came home happy and healthy; we would not hesitate to have her stay with Emily again!

We left Leia in Emily’s care for a week. Leia was very well looked after, Emily is very loving and took great care of Leia. We could tell that Leia was really “at home” when she asked Emily for repeat belly rubs 😊 Emily took Leia for her walks, sent many, many updates and really put our mind at ease that our pup was in kind caring hands. We will definitely contact Emily again when we need Leia to be taken care of when we are away.

What a great experience boarding my pup with Emily! I’m really happy with the care my pup received. Emily has such a great personality, loves and cares for your dog like it’s her own and makes you feel super comfortable leaving your dog in her care. My pup certainly has some quirks and can sometimes be a lot to handle, but Emily handled her like a pro. Sounds like they became besties during my pups stay! Emily was great with communication and sent lots of pictures and videos. I’m so happy to have found someone reliable in the area and will absolutely be using Emily again 😊 🐶

Laika had such a good time at Emily's house while I was away! They went on fun walks and enjoyed cuddles and playtime at home. Emily sent lots of photos and updates, which set my mind at ease. Laika is anxious, wary of strangers, and can be reactive, but Emily knows how to act around shy dogs, and immediately won Laika's trust. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter. We'll definitely ask her to watch Laika again!
