A Friend for Your 4-Legged Family

Pet care experience

*Vaccinated against COVID-19, up to and including the Omicron bivalent booster shot.* 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 hired Emily to house-sit my three cats for a test weekend and two weeks while I was overseas. She provided me with plenty of photos and updates so I had no doubt they were being well cared for. Emily responded to messages promptly and was accommodating when I needed to add an extra cat to the booking (surprise adoption)! I recommend Emily and would use her services again.

Emily took great care of our dog and senior kitty. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We would definitively use her again!

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.
