Pet care experience
I’ve loved animals all my life and studied Zoology at The University of Bristol. I grew up with 2 dogs that I was responsible for walking daily and I used to volunteer at a dog rescue called Helping Hands for Hounds in Honduras washing, walking and caring for dogs. I’ve looked after both cats and dogs who have needed medication. I used to be a nanny for a 1 year old baby boy from 9-5 while his parents were at work, so I’m used to the responsibility. In Bristol, I lived with my friend and her dog, Rebel, for 2 years, after which she dropped him off for overnight care whenever she went away for the weekend. They’ve since left Bristol and not having Rebel with me wanting to look after dogs to fill that space he left. I work a hybrid role so I’m able to stay home whenever I want to give the dog plenty of company and cuddles. My office is also very welcoming of any doggy visitors if your dog would be comfortable doing so. I live right next to Cotham Gardens and a short walk from Redland Green or St Andrews park so there’s plenty of spaces to go for walks.
Reviews
Emily was great - really friendly and communicative and sent updates and photos. Bosley seemed to be very happy and nicely tired. We’d definitely book with Emily again
Emily was great. Very easy to communicate with. Sent lots of photos of our cockapoo while we were away - out on walks, dozing on the sofas etc. They seemed to have a great time! House was very tidy – you wouldn't know she had been there. Would def recommend and rebook.
Emily looked after Peggy, our 6 year old slightly sensitive lurcher, in our house for 8 days. She is a lovely, calm and mature person and I would highly recommend her. She was reliable and punctual from our first communications. She sent daily updates and photos and coped with Peggy missing us at bedtime. She looked after the house perfectly. Thanks so much Emily!
Emily was great with Gadget! Lots of updates and photos throughout the house/dog sitting which gave me peace of mind whilst I was away. Would be very happy for Emily to look after the pooch again.

Home
Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet
It would be helpful to know if your dog is scared of any breeds or anything else we might encounter on a walk (e.g. buses or bicycles).
A typical day
In a typical day, I like to get out the house before I start work at 8.30am, go on a short walk at lunch, and the proper longer walk of the day after 5pm. I’m keen on going to the Downs, but also like to loop around harbourside on the weekends.
