Pet care experience

Will choose dogs over people always

I am totally dog obsessed! I grew up with black labs and am a total sucker for any and all dogs. I started dog sitting in high school and have loved being able to help make sure your pet is comfortable and taken care of when you are out of town. I have taken care of young dogs to senior dogs, including administering meds and working with rescue pups who have special requirements due to previous traumatic experiences. I can't wait to meet your furbaby!

Safety, trust & environment

I will try to follow whatever makes you more comfortable! I want to make the transition as seamless as possible for your pets. I can crate dogs if needed but am also happy to let them roam if that is what you normally do. I will adjust to your dog's normal routine.

Emily was great with my reactive dog during the air and water show. She was very communicative and wanted to make sure he was as comfortable as possible!

Emily was so wonderful. My Bruno was very anxious and had GI issues all week. Emily handled everything like a champ. She was attentive and responsive. She communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures. Plus more when we asked. I would ABSOLUTELY book again. In fact I already have booked again

Emily is awesome! I hope she’s available every time we’re on vacation. She’s kind, communicative and super easy to work with. We loved having her stay with our elderly dogs, she took such great care of them and our house.

I knew Emily was ten best choice for my Henry as soon as I met her and i wasn’t wrong. I have a 12 year old lab mix and have been worried about leaving him in the care of anyone outside of my family. She took such good care of my guy- she checked in with me a couple of times but was able to navigate everything else with ease. Would request Emily again in the future
