Your Pet's New Favorite Playmate

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs my entire life, both in my own house and taking care of family's/friend's dogs of all breeds and sizes. Up until very recently I worked from home, but as of spring 2019 I will be in an office during the work week. It is a short distance from home in downtown Durham and I am able to come home 1x/day as needed for outings. My boyfriend Max (fellow dog lover/helper) and I have a fenced in dog run area along with plenty of parks nearby. We don't have any pets of our own, but we absolutely love having animals around to take care of! We're more than happy to enjoy time outside with dogs in any type of weather and always look forward to the motivation to go on walks throughout the day. Max and I have a welcoming space with extra time to commit to keeping your dog happy!

Emily took great care of Harley! She was super communicative and shared adorable photos of Harley with me each day. We hope to be able to use her dog sitting services again in the future!

Our dog loves staying with Emily! We’re happy to ask Emily to watch her whenever we have to go out of town. Emily is easy to communicate with and very reliable, especially with complicated instructions about medicine. We’re happy to recommend her services to others!

Emily did a great job with my pup! She communicated often and was very responsive. She was quick to accommodate all of my pups "old man" needs. I'm sure he'll be back to stay with her again, thanks so much!

Emily sent tons of pictures and updates! Pancake was sad to leave after his stay. Would definitely book with her again!

Noise level? We live in an apartment building and want to be respectful of our neighbors, so prefer dogs that do not have a tendency to make an abnormal amount of noise. Tendency to chew? House trained? Unfortunately we can't take dogs over ~50 lbs at this time per the request of our landlord.
