Active and energetic dog lover

Pet care experience

I'm a UAA graduate, with a degree in environmental science. I'm am currently working on my Master's degree I have had a dog for my entire life and they hold a very special place in my heart. I own my own home and have a large, fenced in backyard. I don't mind having a few dogs stay at my house. I have a two year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever who loves other dogs; she likes to house sit with me, but that's not a necessity. I'm responsible, patient and understanding, as well as energetic and active. I love hiking and going for walks. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and am able to provide regular potty breaks and afternoon walks. I've been dog and house sitting for more than 10 years and have experience showing and training dogs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages (puppies are not a problem).

We used Emily for a second time and had just as good of an experience! She's flexible and communicative.

The only word to describe Emily is: AMAZING! I have had numerous house/dog sitters over the years and I will now be forever spoiled. My dogs love her as much as they do me!! She even trimmed their nails while I was gone and left me with a clean house including clean sheets for the bed upon my return. What more can I say? If you want the absolute best, hire Emily. If you prefer to roll the dice, best of luck to you. For my money, I will continue to use Emily anytime she's available for as long as she is around and willing to sit for me.

Emily was amazing! She housesat for us on short notice and our dogs loved her. She kept us updated while we were gone and we came home to a perfectly clean house.

Yes, I would like to know a little bit about the dog first. Any odd quirks/habits/behaviors. I have no breed preference, I love them all!
