Highlights
Pet care experience
Prof Trainer and Behaviorist
Hi, My name is Emily! I'm from Delaware and have done dog sitting through Rover.com for quite sometime now and love it. I also have 24+ years in professional pet care and over 30 years of friends and family pet care experience. I did a year with Rover before moving to Florida where I worked as a kennel technician, certified professional dog trainer, kennel supervisor and asst kennel manager. I also have a small amount of veterinary experience. I worked with a rescue and fostered dogs for a year. Since I’ve been back home and am a stay at home mom I have created my own successful insured business in the care and training of any and all dogs I absolutely love it! I also foster with Grass Roots Rescue and put on fun events for my clients doggos to help raise money. They are a blast. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have had a family dog as far back as I remember. My past has shaped my passion for the care and training of dogs. Dogs bring so much love joy loyalty honesty and devotion to life, who wouldn’t want to make it their career. About my yard My back yard is completely fenced in with a 6 foot privacy fence. We even have indoor and outdoor cameras as well as an entryway yard and gate for added security. There are many trees so it's pretty cool and shady on hot summer days and plenty of room to explore. And for all you senior pet owners we have a huge handicap ramp leading to my back kitchen door. If you want your dogs to play with others it will be supervised and I’ll give you a full report on how they did. We also go on pack walks daily, weather permitting. A tired dog is a good dog. Want a bath and nail trim before they go home? Just let me know and consider it done. My home is a bi or split level home and I have dedicated one level to my dog care business. Spacious private areas have been mapped out for any dog or family of dogs so they may eat their meals, take breaks and sleep in their own space. I have it set up this way in case there’s any pups who don’t like other dogs, if certain dogs don’t get along or owners who don’t want their dog around other dogs. On the other hand, if your dog is not enjoying their area we can and will make any special accommodations necessary to provide a fun and stress free stay. My options are extensive for every pet parent. My experience administering medication is extensive. I can give just about any medication. Including insulin if needed. My certifications include pet CPR and first aide and professional dog trainer. I have also attended and graduated from multiple Cesars Way courses. In Fort Lauderdale and his ranch in California.

Ratings and reviews
As always, Emily is great with our puppy and provides updates so we know he is having a great time. Thank you!!
Emily was so attentive and confident. Her knowledge and expertise are unmatched! She is so in tune with my dog - it definitely made me feel like my dog was safe and in good hands. Would recommend Emily to anyone!
Emily did a fantastic job with my dog! She was able to fit him in last minute, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also shared helpful tips for his car anxiety. I’ll definitely be using her again!
We cannot recommend Emily enough! She’s amazing and out pup had the best time! We feel safe leaving Appa with Emily in the future and appreciate how comfortable the entire experience was!
Emily was amazing with my rescue dog, Mollie. Mollie can be cautious with new people and animals. Emily’s patience and calm and thoughtful approach helped her settle in quickly. She kept me updated with photos and kind words about how Mollie was adapting and making new fur friends. This gave me the peace of mind I needed while away. Mollie came home relaxed, happy and tired — a huge sign of how well she was cared for and the fun she had. I’ll definitely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone with a sensitive or rescue pup.
Emily was amazing with my dog! Her knowledge made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby, and he had a great time.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
You dog will have their own spacious area, where they will sleep, eat and rest. I follow a schedule where your dog will be let out at least 5 times a day, to go for a walk or play outside or to go potty. But, if your dog is having trouble settling in and prefers to free roam, I can and will make any changes in accommodations to make them more comfortable. As far as dogs on the furniture. I go by what you tell me. If they are allowed at home then exceptions can be made to make sure they are comfortable.

A typical day
Everybody who boards with me will get the option to go on walks, depending on the weather and availability in congruent with influx of business. I also allow one on one play or group play depending on how you dog is with other dogs amd if that’s something you are interested in. All play and dog to dog interactions are supervised. I also Periodically host themed events for my clients and their dogs to help raise money for the rescue I foster for. I often (with permission) use puzzle feeders and frozen stuffed kongs to help with any downtime. During the summer, I have many puppy pools out and available to beat the heat.
