Sniffari Adventures with Emily
Pet care experience
**Licensed, Insured & Bonded** Hey there! I'm passionate about making sure dogs have the best time in safe and stimulating environments. Whether your furry friend is a high-energy pup or more of a chill companion, I've got the skills to keep them happy. As the guardian of a dog who copes with reactivity, I totally get the importance of creating comfortable spaces. I'm all about personalizing my care to fit each dog's unique needs, and while I'm happy to accommodate your preferences, I'll always stick to methods that feel right to me, like positive reinforcement and lots of love and patience. Oh, and let's not forget about Sniffari walks—they're my absolute favorite! So if your pup is craving some adventure, shoot me a message! 🐾 Follow me on my Instagram page for pic updates! @sniffari_adventures

Very patient and supportive.
Emily was excellent! Took great care of Rafi and communicated throughout the visit. Will book again!
We can’t wait to use Emily again! She is extremely responsible and communicative. We had her walk our dogs several days in a row. She was right on time and followed all of our instructions. Thanks for taking care of our pups and sending updates!
Emily was fantastic with our two pups - including one sweet but large and leash-reactive rescue dog! She went above and beyond in making sure that our dogs got to work out some of their mental and physical energy (even on days with heavy rain), and it was obvious to us when we got home that the two pups were much more happy and calm than they would have been otherwise. Will definitely be reaching out to Emily the next time we need help!

I'm well-versed in handling reactivity and reading dog body language. It's important to me to never push a dog into a situation where they feel uncomfortable. I'll ask you questions to fully understand your dog's temperament, needs, and preferences. Plus, I'm more than happy to provide notes and pictures of my visits. If your pup tends to be wary of new people, I suggest booking a few visits to help them feel more comfortable and minimize any stress. When it comes to building a bond with your furry friend, I always opt for force-free approaches
Information Emily J. would like to know about your pet
Scheduling a Meet and Greet prior to the booking will be required to ensure it's a good fit. Your dog's mental and emotional health are important to me. Please share any relevant details, such as fear-based aggression, touch preferences, separation anxiety, allergies, or special needs. The more information you provide, the better equipped I'll be to care for your pup.
A typical day
Dogs navigate the world primarily through their amazing sense of smell, so I'm a huge supporter of sniffari walks, allowing plenty of time for them to indulge their noses. It's one of the most enriching activities for them. Does your dog get anxious during walks? No problem! We can switch gears and organize playtime at home, catering activities to your dog's preferences.

Availability
I set my own schedule, which means I understand how crucial it is to maintain a predictable routine for our furry friends. I'd love to hear all about your pup's typical day so we can work together to create a plan that keeps things consistent for them. Overnight Stays: Offering in-home pet care with 12-hour overnight sessions (start and end times may vary per day - example 7pm-7am). Benefit from two check-ins (midday and early evening) for walks, playtime, and meal provision. I can also help with bringing in mail, trash day, watering plants.
