I love long walks on...14th or 16th

Pet care experience

I grew up in a loving dog and cat home on a farm in Kansas, but moved to DC a few years ago without pets in tow. Now, I'm regularly in DC with a Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm work schedule and excited to meet your dog and/or cat! I have experience with over night stays, daily walks, or just quick check-ins - especially given that I now have a doggo and kitty of my own! I also have experience caring for multiple dogs, multiple cats, and dog-cat households. I am centrally located near the Target in Columbia Heights in NW DC. After a few years of puppy-mom duties, I know many of the area dog parks, green spaces, and even walking paths in Rock Creek Park. And cat owners...I’m not afraid of kitty litter :)

Emily was great with our pup. She was able to help us out with a last minute drop in request and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We will definitely book her again!

I walk dogs and check in on cats. Unfortunately, I am unable to bring your pet to stay with me due to having pets of my own and a tiny apartment. #DC

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know: (1) How well the dog gets along with other humans and/dogs. (2) What kind of activities are preferred (3) How often the owner might want to be in touch about updates!

A typical day

I love sitting on pets! Just kidding -- but I do love long walks and squeezing in some play time before I end my visits.

I currently work from home - so my schedule is very flexible these days. I typically either add pet checks into my morning routine, lunch breaks, and afternoon breaks.
