I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m able to give dogs attention throughout the day and easily carve out time for walks, potty breaks, play, and check-ins—morning, midday, and evening. I also make activity a priority, so getting pups out for fresh air (and plenty of sniff time!) is always part of the routine. Most importantly, I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual schedule and preferences so they have a consistent experience that feels familiar—mealtimes, walk frequency, crate/free-roam routines, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away.

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priority is always making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and consistent. I focus on creating a calm, caring environment with plenty of attention, activity, and affection, while also keeping safety and well-being front and center at all times. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I also make communication a priority. I provide frequent updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy dogs and peace of mind for their people.

Trusted, Loving Care for Happy Pups

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve also rescued dogs and helped care for friends’ pups, so I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a very active person and love taking dogs on long walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and all the good smells along the way. I work from home, which gives me flexibility and availability throughout the day, and I truly enjoy having dogs in my home and making them feel comfortable. I’m professional, responsible, loving, and attentive, and I take pet care seriously. I recently lost my own dog, and caring for other people’s dogs feels like a meaningful way to share that love and fill that space in my heart. I’m excited for the opportunity to help give pet parents peace of mind so they can enjoy their time away, knowing their pups are happy, healthy, and in good hands.

My fearful dog has become comfortable very quickly with Emily. She doesn’t usually like strangers but Emily understands and doesn’t try to push her. I’m glad we found a good match for day care.

Emily was incredible. Made us feel comfortable, took great care of our pup, plenty of exercise and care. Phenomenal communication through the entire process. Thank you and we will be reaching out to Emily again.

Emily was the best dog sitter we could have asked for ! She was able to help on short notice and sent comforting updates and photos every day. Long walks, snuggles, bed sharing, teaching our dog the stairs … Emily does it all! Her home was comfortable and clean. We will definitely use her again!

Emily is the best dog-sitter we could have hoped for to care for our 2 high energy Australian Sheppards. They love cuddles and a lot of attention and time with humans. She provided the love and attention they needed, long walks, bedtime snuggles, playtime and was attentive to their every need. She is responsible, patient and down right a fun buddy for any pet who requires being spoiled. I highly recommend Emily for dog walking or pet sitting. 5 stars from our family!!
