Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog's general temperament. Is there anything to look out for? How are they on the leash? Do they have a high prey drive (for squirrels and birds)? Any information is welcome!

A typical day

I am happy to walk your dog at the park or along safe streets. I am also a runner, so if your dog needs some exercise, I'm happy to do that as well. Of course, I would run at their pace!

Pet care experience

As an attorney in DC, discipline, hard work, dedication, and responsibility are second nature. I have a sheepadoodle and poodle and will treat your pup as I treat my own -- absolutely nothing but the best! I have always loved dogs, and would love to take care of yours.

As usual Emily provides the best care to my friend Sophie, probably better than she gets at home from me. This visit I asked that meds be applied to an irritation on her chest, and Walla irritation gone. Thank you, Emily.

Sophie, has confided there is no finer place she would rather stay than with Emily and her pups, “it’s just like home” she says, She sends Mom and Dad lots of pics and lets them know what a sweetheart I am even though at times I can be a a bit needy. Thank you, Emily

Emily was a fantastic sitter! She sent lots of updates and was really flexible with drop off and pick up times. Our dog, Lucy, had a lot of play time and was able to get her energy out! Emily made us feel at ease throughout our trip. I will book again in the future!
