My young pup, Claude, has glaucoma, and during his stay with Emily, she tackled the intricate schedule of drops that he needs. He also had plenty of company to play with - both canine and human! If Emily will have him, we'll be back!

Schedule

***Flexible Work and Pet Care*** I currently work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide a personalized and attentive care service for your pets. My main goal is to ensure your pets feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would be in their own home. ***Boarding (Pickup, and Drop-off Schedule)*** For boarding services, I prefer arranging pickup and drop-off times around 5 PM or later on weekdays. However, given my flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate different times at your convenience. ***Doggy Daycare (Pickup, and Drop-off Schedule)*** In addition to boarding, I offer doggy daycare services. For daycare, I prefer early morning drop-offs to start the day with a structured routine. Please note that I cannot accommodate drop-offs between 9:00-9:30 AM and pickups between 4:00-4:30 PM to ensure the smooth running of our daily schedule and to provide quality care to all pets without interruption.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize the well-being and happiness of your furry friends in my home, with a safe and loving environment where your pets can feel at ease. When caring for your pets in your home, I go the extra mile to maintain their routine and keep them comfortable. I provide regular visits to ensure they receive proper feeding, fresh water, and exercise.

A typical day

A typical day for my dogs begins with a refreshing morning routine. We go outside for a potty break, then return for breakfast. Afterward, we enjoy playing with toys and each other. In the afternoon, we have another potty break, go for a walk (weather permitting), and have snack time. We continue playing until evening when we have dinner, more potty breaks, and possibly another walk. Finally, we play until bedtime, with one last potty break before settling down in their beds for the night.
