Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home the way I would want someone to care for mine. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, stick closely to routines, and always prioritize safety. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable while you’re away. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet

Before any booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any preferences they may have. I have a short questionnaire we can go over so I fully understand how to care for your pet the way you do. The more I know, the better I can keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.

A typical day

A typical day depends on your pet’s personality and energy level. For active dogs, I’m happy to take them on walks, play fetch, and keep them mentally stimulated. For seniors or lower-energy pets, I provide calm companionship, gentle walks, and plenty of attention. I make sure meals are on time, water is fresh, and your pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day.

Dog Mom of 3 | Reliable Care 🤍

Pet care experience

I’ve had animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m a dog mom to three — a 17-year-old German Shepherd mix, an English Bulldog, and a Saint Bernard — so I’m comfortable with senior care, large breeds, and different energy levels. My dogs are my babies, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention. I stick closely to routines, double-check gates and leashes, and take safety seriously. I’m always happy to send updates so you feel completely at ease while you’re away.

We love Emily and our dogs love her. We always use her and would never consider anyone else.

We left our fur babies with Emily over the holiday week/weekend, and as always, she was absolutely amazing! ❤️ Our dogs adore her, and it’s easy to see why. She goes above and beyond every single time, keeps us updated with great communication, and truly treats them like they’re her own. Knowing they’re in her care means we never have to worry or deal with that awful separation anxiety while we’re away. Emily is such a kind, caring, and wonderful person, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pets, she’s the one!!!

Emily was amazing with the girls during the meet and greet Lilo usually likes to scream and bark at people. She's just now meeting for at least an hour but the minute Emily walked in Lila was so friendly and so happy and didn't even bark. Emily has an amazing energy and took care of all three of our big dogs very well with great communication and amazing compassion to the dogs. Thank you so much and we will definitely be rebooking!

Emily was amazing and it brought me so much peace of mind while on a day trip to know my babies were in such good hands. My dogs felt comfortable with her during the drop-in visit and Emily was very generous with her time. I would absolutely book with her again!
