Pet care experience

A lifelong dog lover &proud dog mom

Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover, proud dog mom to two pups (Miley, our poised little queen, and Frankie, our energetic shadow). I truly understand that pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. I have a special love and place in my heart for senior pets. My family adopted a senior dog named Scout in 2017, and I knew he had stories to tell and love to be shared. His time with us was short, but it deepened my patience, attentiveness, and appreciation for the slower pace many senior dogs need. I understand the extra gentleness, consistency, and compassion they deserve. Whether your dog loves long walks, couch cuddles, structured play, or just a calm presence nearby, I am happy to tailor care to their personality and routine. I’m attentive, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can expect plenty of photo updates, detailed check-ins, and lots of love while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first with me 🤍

Emily was fantastic with my dog, Ruby! I was honestly a bit nervous leaving her since she has separation anxiety and we were traveling into town for a wedding, but Emily’s clear and prompt communication beforehand immediately put me at ease. During Ruby’s stay, she sent lots of updates and photos, and it was obvious Ruby was having the best time. Ruby can be a finicky eater, and Emily somehow worked her magic and got her to eat, which is no small feat. She also had an amazing time playing with Emily’s smaller dog, Miley - they were such a great match! When I picked Ruby up in the evening, she was happy and tired in the best way. Emily provided a clean, safe environment with a fenced-in yard and was very flexible, which I really appreciated. Emily is incredibly kind, friendly, and clearly loves dogs. I would use her again in a heartbeat. I just wish we lived closer! Highly recommend.

Red rover red rover send Emily right over and she’ll take the greatest care with your pets!!! Emily has owned every kind of animal from your usual cats and dogs to the more niche ones like birds and guinea pigs and they’ve all left 5 star reviews with her! She loves any and all types of animals and is the most caring and kind caretaker I’ve ever been around. She can handle anything from small puppies with big egos to huge dogs with ferocious tendencies and anywhere in between! With Emily, your pet is in the greatest of hands.

Emily is a wonderful, attentive, responsible, caring pet parent herself and she brings those qualities to every other animal she encounters. I absolutely trust her to care for my dog as her own and would reccomend her to anyone looking for consistent and reliable pet care. Her experience with her guinea pig also makes her well equipped to support smaller pets in the home!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am a life-long, experienced dog owner. Currently, I have 2 dogs - with 2 VERY different personalities. Miley is a 6-lb maltipoo and Frankie is a 42-lb mix (we did a DNA test and he is literally a mix of every dog you can think of). We also have a senior (and spry!) guinea pig named Squeaky. I make my pets my priority no matter what life brings with work. More info about me: - I am comfortable with high-energy, clingy, shy, and senior dogs - I am experienced administering basic medications - I have a strong attention to detail with feeding routines and special instructions - All in all, I am reliable, punctual, and responsive
