Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

It’s really helpful to know what their normal daily rhythm is and if they have any quirks. I like to know of any boundaries you have with your dog (like no getting on the bed) so we can make sure we’re maintaining all the important habits you established with your dog. It’s also helpful to know if they have any special dietary needs or medication.

A typical day

I am distance runner and would love to take your dog with me! I can also take your dog on hikes in the area. We love playing throughout the day.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life and love taking care of them! I am used to dogs on various energy levels. I have taken care of high-energy dogs like husky’s and border collies so I understand the value of stimulation. I am very comfortable with a wide range of pet care including walking, feeding, playing and bathing. I also live with my wonderful partner who loves playing with our Rover clients and taking them on long walks.

Emily and Lamar were amazing! They took great care of our little guy and he has an absolute blast. They kept us informed and updated the entire stay with pictures and messages. We really appreciate them and can’t wait to book with them in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Emily is awesome!! She came highly recommended, and after leaving Clover with her and Lamar I understand why. Emily and Lamar are super communicative and trustworthy, and clearly love the dogs they bring into their home. My dog, Clover, was instantly comfortable with them. They asked me for detailed instructions about how to care for Clover and followed them closely, and even took her to the dog park and on long walks. I would absolutely recommend Emily and will definitely be asking her to dog sit for me again soon!

Emily and Lamar were wonderful and welcoming with my sweet little chi. My chi is a rescue and whenever I boarded her, she always gave me sad eyes, but when I dropped her off with Emily, it was clear she was feeling calm, like being at home. In the daily photos and messages I received while away, my furbaby DID snuggle down and felt right at home with Emily and Lamar! Thank you so much!
