We have a grassy fenced in backyard for your pups to run and play. We have tons of toys, puzzle balls, bones, kongs, squeakies, etc for all of the dogs to use. I keep several fresh water bowls out at all times, indoors and out. At night we get cozy with lots of blankets and snuggles. Dogs have full run of the yard and most of the house. They are allowed on the furniture by default and may sleep wherever they please!

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet

As most boarding facilities do, I ask that all guest dogs stay current on their vaccines (including bordetella) as well as flea prevention. I appreciate your compliance for the health and safety of all the dogs! Punctuality: Please arrive within your scheduled window. Late arrivals without advance notice may not be accommodated, as drop-off times affect the entire household schedule. Behavioral: Many minor behavioral problems are common and I can work with most dogs, however aggression cannot be tolerated, and I ask that you do not book with me if you expect your dog to be aggressive toward people or other dogs. Thanks for your understanding!

A typical day

A typical doggie day at my house involves lots of outdoor time when weather permits. The dogs can run, play, relax in the sun, whatever they like to do outdoors. I like to engage them in a few good games of tug or fetch throughout the day. I let the dogs show me their unique personalities and then I do my best to meet their needs accordingly.

Compassionate Pet Care 🐶

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Emily - I am a capable and compassionate pet sitter committed to the happiness, comfort and well being of the animals I care for! I have fostered for the RCACP, SPCA and Angels of Assisi. I have experience caring for the animals of friends and family members from a young age, and have always had dogs of my own. I currently have a mini dachshund named Bunker.

Emily is truly the best! She is very responsive, sends updates and pictures, and takes great care of our girl. We have complete peace of mind while Maggie is in her care. We will certainly continue to use Emily to watch our Aussie!

Emily was fantastic with our Golden Doodle, Ozzy. It looked like he was enjoying himself by the pictures that Emily sent to us while we’re were away. I have no reservations recommending Emily to anyone how is looking for a patient, loving and caring person sitter.
