Availability

I provide doggy daycare - not overnight care - as my cat does not tolerate it well. And I work a 9 to 5 schedule Monday through Friday and I’m fully remote so I have plenty of time to regularly take dogs outside, out into my fenced in yard or to take them for both short and longer walks. I can dog sit any day though I do volunteer for the Humane Society on Friday evenings so they don’t work for me. Also, my rate is for six hours or less and then I charge an additional $5/hour for each hour after that FYI.

I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your dog if desired. I currently have one cat who has lived with a dog in the past, though I typically separate her in what I call her upstairs “kitty apartment” anyway. 😌 I provide doggy daycare - not overnight care - as my cat does not tolerate it well.

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, specific situations, items or activities to avoid, or other requirements. I do not have any breed preferences - I love all breeds equally. 💚 Also, my rate is for six hours or less and then I charge an additional $5/hour for each hour after that FYI. I provide doggy daycare - not overnight care - as my cat does not tolerate it well.

A typical day

I work from home full-time so your dog or dogs will be sitting right next to me all day getting head scratches and pets and being let out likely once an hour or two if they’re not already in my fenced in yard, which is also an option. They’ll also get walks, play sessions, cuddles and kisses, and whatever food and treats you ok for me to give them.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Emily. 😊 And I’ve always been an animal lover. I grew up with multiple cats and dogs in my home. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets when they’ve needed help over the last thirty years or so. I have also worked at a dog kennel where I walked and bathed dogs of all sizes and breeds. And I currently volunteer for the Humane Society where I interact with animals regularly. 😌

Emily was great with a dog. She engaged with him, sent me pictures, and was flexible.

Emily made us feel extremely safe leaving our pup, Tyke, with her! She had a basket full of toys ready to show him & her home felt so cozy & welcoming. I could tell our pup felt safe with her right away & wasn’t stressed during drop off or pick up Thank you, Emily!

Jazzy Pants loved being with Emily. Emily took Jazz out for 2 long walks, and when I picked Jazz up, she was pooped. Happy dog.
