Emily was great with our dog Reggie while we were away for a few days. She was quick to respond, flexible on timing, handled his medication schedule, and gave frequent updates. Would recommend her and use her again!

Mogul had so much fun with Emily. He was smiling in every picture. Emily handled his complicated medication schedule with ease.

Emily was a great sitter for our dog Henry. He can be a bit nervous but she worked with him until he was comfortable and warmed up to the new environment. Emily made sure to give me plenty of updates during Henry’s stay with her. Her communication was great. Would recommend Emily as a sitter and would use her again 😊

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very familiar with parks and routes in the Somerville area. I will always refer to your directions and preferences for walking/playing with your dog!

A typical day

I like going to a nearby parks like Barry or Tufts Park. I’ve recently started running, so a dog that like to run with me is a great bonus.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or triggers. I have many neighborhood outdoor cats and neighbors with small dogs, so I prefer a dog without aggression towards other pets.
