Experienced with all breeds & sizes

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals all my life, currently I only have a tuxedo kitty. I have experience in caring for and training dogs of all sizes, we had a Cane Corso Mastiff and Boxer in the past that were both gentle giants. Our mastiff required extensive training and responded successfully. Our Boxer had the worst allergies so I am pretty crafty with nose and paw butter applications and other remedies.

Emily is a phenomenal dog sitter. She’s taken care of our pups for seven years. During that time, we’ve had a dog pass away, and a new one join the pack, and she’s welcomed them all. We trust Emily to make the right choices for our pets and know that she treats them with care right down to the super snuggles.

Emily is an extremely thoughtful and attentive animal caretaker. She has experience with many sizes and breeds of dog, and is also very familiar with cats. She has an innate ability to create meaningful & lasting bonds with any animal she meets. I'd recommend Emily in a heartbeat.

I have known Emily for 6 years and throughout the time I've known her, she and her family have always had a multitude of pets, from 2 dogs to fish, to cats, and even a lizard. She has such a love for all living things it makes her a fantastic pet-owner and watcher. I never hesitate to trust Emily with any of my pets to watch or walk. She gives and shows other pets love as if they were her own. She has great patience and brings all animals love and joy.

Safety, trust & environment

My home does have a fenced in yard for home care and play dates. We will mostly be walking, hiking or playing at the dog park during the visits.

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know the breed, any preferences or traits that I should be aware of. Whether they get along with other dogs or will need to be walked alone.

A typical day

I will go for walks around town or hikes in West Hartford reservoir and other local areas. My husband and I hike and walk daily, so we would love to bring some canine companions along. We also have two teenage children who are well versed in walking with the dogs and I and would love to help take some pups out for fresh air and ball toss!
