Expert in snuggling and walkies

Pet care experience

I am an avid dog lover who has dog sat for many friends' dogs over the past couple of years, and I am looking to expand my list of furry friends! I have cared for dogs of all ages and breeds, including senior dogs who required special care, and can handle whatever quirks your puppers may have. I also grew up with dogs and miss having them around the house, so would love to hang out with your doggos for a bit! I normally work full time but have some flexibility to work from home on a case by case basis, so am happy to work out a schedule that works for your dog depending on their needs. I live with my boyfriend Adam who is also an experienced dog sitter and will help me look after your furry friends. We look forward to meeting you and your puppers!

Emily was wonderful!! She was very flexible with drop-off/pick-up, sent the cutest pictures of my pup and was very kind. I could tell she really enjoys dogs! She made my baby feel comfortable in her home. I’m very thankful she was able to sit Pepper.

Emily and her boyfriend took great care of my dog Zelda during her six night stay. They were easy to reach, accommodating with pick up and drop off times, and sent adorable update photos. Thanks, Emily!

Repeat customer. I think Emily is great -- she was flexible with my timing and Riley seemed very happy when I got him back!

Emily was very communicative and truly seemed to love dogs. Would definitely use her services again!

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you already have a walker for your dog for weekdays in the middle of the day. If not, I can try and arrange my work schedule to suit.

A typical day

Dogs are welcome to snuggle in bed or on the couch with me (if that behavior is allowed). Depending on your dog's needs, we'll usually go for a 15-minute walk in the morning and a longer walk (30 min) in the evening when I get home from work. If your dog enjoys dog parks we'll go to the park on 11th and Park Rd to make some new friends, or go for a nice long walk through Meridian Hill Park.
