Availability
I work from home Tuesday/Thursday/Friday and work in Denver 8-5 Monday/Wednesday, so I am able to be present when your pets need me! On occasion I travel for work, but I always have that updated in my availability schedule way in advance. For me, it’s the perfect way to take a mid-day break, get a new “office,” and spend some time hanging out with your furry friends! Because my schedule is flexible, I can make pet care a priority at different times of day, so if you need a constant presence, check-ins every few hours, or medication at a certain time, we can make it work. One note I’ll add for Summer 2026 - if I don’t respond immediately, it’s probably because I’m camping and out of service! As soon as I’m back I’d be happy to talk to you more about what your pet needs :)

About Emily J.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
One thing I really prioritize is good communication with you as the pet owner so that you feel comfortable and can build trust with me. For some people, this may be photos or text check-ins, while others may need FaceTimes or phone calls to make sure their furry friends are all taken care of. My work schedule is very flexible and I am more than happy to meet whatever needs you have so that you can go about your day! When we meet, I make sure to take thorough notes for what pet care your pets need, even if you have written instructions prepared. That way, if something goes wrong, I have a backup of emergency numbers, medication locations, or other needs of your pet. I don’t have pets in my own home, but I am happy to take them outside or to the local park for walks on-leash.
Information Emily J. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate any information that you think is essential to taking care of your pet! This could be set schedules for meals, medications, walks, etc.; food preferences; favorite toys; designated playtimes; or other concerns. Additionally, if there are concerns about other pets in the neighborhood - is there a particular dog that yours does not get along with? - then that information would be very helpful!
A typical day
I am happy to meet your pet where it’s at! I love getting out for a walk and visiting the park, but if they are more low energy or need to rest, then I’m happy to curl up on the couch for some cuddle time. Safety is my number one priority, so we will spend our day doing whatever keeps your pet happy, healthy, safe, and comfortable :)

Pet care experience
I have been taking care of pets since I was a kid, and our family had a revolving door of fosters, rescues, and other pets in search of a home. While this has mostly been dogs and cats, I have experience taking care of a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, lizards, tortoises, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats - pretty much anything you’d be allowed to have in your home! I love working with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. From a play date in the park to emergency vet visits, from mealtime routines to administering medicine, I know that each pet has certain things to make sure they are loved and cared for. I’m happy to work with you to make sure all of your pets needs are met :)

Reviews
Emily was communicative, professional, amazing with the dogs, and just a delight to work with, will definitely be hiring her again. Thanks Emily!!
Emily is great! She was very attentive during our meet and greet and asked great questions and remembered all of the quirks I told her about for my dog, Archie. Highly recommend!
Emily was attentive, warm, and responsive while looking after Hazy. Our pup found a new friend while we were away and we are so grateful!
Emily was super kind and communicative. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates throughout the walk.
