Fun Loving Dog Mom

Pet care experience

Dogs are not just pets, they are family. Which is very much true in my everyday life, with my own bubs, as well as with yours. My heart for animals is incredibly large and I believe that they all deserve to be cared for like family.

Emily was excellent! She sent video and/or pictures of our 3 dogs from each visit. She let me know when the weather didn’t permit their walk and followed my instructions sheet precisely. We will definitely use Emily again to care for Jax, Rowdy, and Coco!

Emily is amazing! She took such great care of my puppy and senior dog. We got pictures of them throughout the day and both of my dogs absolutely loved her. She even straighten up my house before she left! I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends! We will definitely have her sit again the next time me and my husband go out of town or just need a date night!

Emily was fantastic! I received regular updates throughout the weekend and could tell my dog was very happy to be with her. She took great care of my home and Cooper!

Emily was punctual, professional, and very caring towards our pup! She sent great photos and was even kind enough to bring our packages inside. I would certainly recommend her!

I’ve listed some information on services I provide below, so please look them over and feel free to ask me any questions you might have! I want both you and them to be as comfortable as possible with me caring for your animals. **Also, I love taking my dog on car rides and to one of the lakes in Reston, so if this is something you’re comfortable with me doing, please let me know! Dogs love it, which makes me so happy. If needing to request walks; I am very comfortable walking dogs and have had a lot of experience with my own dog being animal aggressive, so no worries if that’s an issue your baby struggles with. I make sure to keep dogs away from other dogs, unless told otherwise, as you never know what might happen. I prefer to walk dogs with sturdy leashes, not retractable leashes, as it makes controlling them easier. If you’re interested, please be sure to give me any information or details that will be necessary for me to know, when we have our in person meet and greet. 😊 For sitting at your house; I try my best to make sure your dog is comfortable and okay, as it is hard for them to not be with you and with someone completely new for however long you’re away. This means lots of loves and cuddles for your babies, as well as play time and treats (if able). I usually talk to dogs in a soft nurturing voice, but will be stern with their commands, when necessary; usually for correction when jumping, barking, nipping, etc. I will be sure to follow their everyday schedule with walking, feedings, vitamins, treats, etc. They are able to sleep with me if they want to, but I can follow any crating instructions your might have, if necessary.

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your dog is with other dogs, how they walk on a leash, how much they eat/when they eat, if they are potty trained/house trained, their vet information if in an emergency, if they are allowed to be on furniture/your rules at your house, any food restrictions, and any other information you can think of to help them/me while with me.

A typical day

I believe that dogs should have multiple walks throughout the day, as they are only able to get out of the house through ourselves. For reference, I walk my dog 3 times a day for around 10-15 minutes, but also longer when the weather permits.
