Availability
I’m a working cartoonist and illustrator, and the flexibility of that career allows me to care for pets during unusual hours and to housesit wherever I’m needed.

About Emily K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whatever the client does to care for their pet, I try to replicate. And if I feel like I can’t provide the same care, I’m honest about that up front. Sometimes I’m not the right fit for a job, and that’s ok! I’d rather the pet get the best care even if it’s not from me.
Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet
What commands does your dog respond to? Are they reactive around anything (people, bikes, other dogs)? Does your dog have a favorite route? How much “business” do they typically do? Do they have any special needs when walking?
A typical day
I walk around the neighborhood, and just feel out where the dog is most comfortable. If I’m asked to take them to the park, I won’t hesitate.

A Friend for Your 4-Legged Family
Pet care experience
As a life-long animal lover and someone who grew up around 4-legged friends, I know that a dog isn’t just a pet, it’s a member of the family. Leaving them with a virtual stranger takes great trust, and I will do everything I can to earn and keep that trust. I've gone on hundreds of walks with dozens of different dogs, all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Some walks I take are on-call with a dog I've never met, others are dogs I've gotten to know and love over a period of time. I can handle either just fine. My availability runs from late morning to night time. As a night owl, I have no problem taking a dog for a last-minute walk at 10 o'clock at night. I don't have any days that are off-limits to walks, as long as multiple walks don't interfere with one another. And if you want me to take your dog to the dog park, even better! I get to be around even more dogs! I also am very serious about keeping my vaccinations up to date, including COVID and flu shots.

Emily was great! She kept us updated and made sure to send photos of our pet! Highly recommend working with Emily!

Trustworthy and caring. We are repeat customers!

Emily took great care of our Kiska girl and was so communicative/sent us tons of photos while we were gone!!

Emily was wonderful. She was timely, responsible and communicative about our dog. We will definitely be asking her to come back!
