A treat for you and your pet!

Pet care experience

I have fostered with Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (WTAR) for a couple years now. Rescuing multiple pups, taking them to all of their vet appointments, and of course showing them what unconditional love and compassion truly is before finding the perfect home for them to spend the rest of their days! I have a proud number of 26 dogs I’ve done this for and still to this day can you tell each and every one of their names. In the midst of 2020's craziness, I found my own true love — Peaches! Who cannot wait to play and *nap/cuddle especially* with your little (or big) ones!!! I have a small fenced in yard for sun bathing and potty breaks (which are picked up after) and a great neighborhood to go for walks in! It is a 4 ft high fence, so your dog will never be outside alone. Always monitored (yep, talking to the jumpers). The yard is equipped with multiple water bowls and even a fun doggie pool we can bring out on the hot days! All animals are welcome on furniture inside, we do not discriminate against dog hair here. You reach a point where you just have to embrace it! Also shoutout to my Dyson vacuum, haha! Please let me know “the normal schedule” for your pup.. is he/she a sleepyhead who wants to be unbothered during her rest? Does she need approximately 83 belly rubs before we can start the day? Potty breaks in the middle of the night? Midnight snack? You name it. We can accompany it, we just have to know beforehand. I am more than open to meet & greets before any sleep overs or play dates! Just say when! Your pup will be spoiled and you will receive all of the pictures to prove for your peace of mind (I know how it is). Happy barking! I mean, booking!! We hope to see you soon!

Emily was AMAZING with our two pups. She updated us frequently and we couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for them.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Emily. Knowing your fur baby is in great care is invaluable!! Our dog enjoys a get away too when going to see Emily and her sweet Peaches. :) So thankful for her!!

Emily once again took wonderful care of Gunnar, and accommodated our somewhat last minute overnight request.

I live in a great neighborhood, with easy access to great walking paths! I love to hear about the “normal routines” that you may have at home with your dog, so I can replicate that to keep them comfortable as well as on schedule for you. I do allow pups on my couch and bed, but there are plenty of other options if that is not your thing! We have plenty of beds and toys and blankets, etc. to choose from, however I do always encourage bringing any favorites from home that you think they’d like to have while here, a part of their own “territory”.

Information Emily J. would like to know about your pet

I always ask to hear about the quirks and tendencies of your pup! It’s always good to know the specifics beforehand. Just let me know their schedule and it will be followed.

A typical day

I am always making homemade dog treats (if your babies have any allergies let me know please), I am a fan of “licking mats” for stimulation as well as “snuffle mats” to keep them interactive (look them up if you’re not familiar, they’re awesome)! We have a sprinkler and kiddie pool to bring out on the hot summer days for the pups! We have a great neighborhood for walks! And I’m always down for a sweet cuddle sesh!!

I am home full time, so your babies have my full attention while staying with me! I love being outside, whether we’re sitting outside or going for walks or playing with the sprinkler — however with that being said and having a brachycephalic dog myself, I am more than trained on how to monitor the heat and overstimulation.
