A Dogs Paradise

My Husband and I have always been animal lovers and grew up with pets in our homes. I have over 10 years of dog sitting and dog ownership as an adult, and worked for 2 years in Utah as a dog trainer. In our home we have my dog, Winter, who is very friendly, and her cat brother Wesley, and my Husband's dog Banner. Between the dogs and the two humans in the house your dog is sure to get lots of love and play time. We make sure there is plenty of space to play in our clean, fully fenced backyard and inside the house. I'm very active so I will be sure to give your pups the right amount of exercise for their needs, and love to go to dog friendly places with your pups (if they like it also). I am always looking for new activities to do to keep things interesting. I relocated to Ohio in summer 2022 from Utah and took a break from rover while I was living in an apartment here. My Husband and I work Monday to Friday 8-5 and are home most of the day on weekends. We are available for evening drop-offs only on weekdays and can do drop off or pickup anytime (as scheduled) on Saturday and Sunday. Our availability on the holidays will vary. Our calendar is typically up to date on Rover for the current month.

Emily is awesome! My dog Lemon was having a diarrhea and she took great care of her while we were away.

Emily provided exceptional care for our energetic golden! From the first meet-and-greet, we felt confident that Bodhi would enjoy his time with her... and new pal, Winter! We received frequent photos and videos that showed just how much fun they were having, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!

Schedule

You can be garunteed your dog will get plenty of walks and outdoors time. My weekends are dedicated to dog friendly activities typically. I love hiking with my pup so if your dog can handle hikes we will likely go on one while they are with me. During the summer hikes and long walks are limited to early morning or late evening due to the heat.

Pets

A typical day

Walks or runs around grove city and the metro parks, plenty of play time with my pup Winter. I am always looking for new activities to do to keep things interesting. Things to Bring for the stay: - food (preferably pre-packaged by meal so they are getting the correct amount) - bowls - treats (optional) - toys - leash and harness (if they have one)

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Emily can host up to 1 pet per night
I’ll want to know about your dog's temperament, and how they are around other dogs and cats. I think meet and greets are important, so I encourage them every time so the dogs can meet in a neutral space. My pup Winter is very friendly to all size dogs, but for those smaller pups, have they been around larger dogs and how are they around larger dogs? Please let me know if they need any medications while I care for them and how you normally give the medication.
