I work from home and currently care for my golden retriever and cat each day. I have plenty of time to supervise, entertain, and give lots of care to your animals. I live with my fiancée, however I will be the primary provider for your animals. I like to take all my guest pups on walks at the local park!

Information Emily N. would like to know about your pet

It's important that I know your pet's behaviors and preferences around other dogs and cats! I'm happy to separate them if needed or set up meet-and-greets ahead of time. I value the safety and comfort of animals first and will take that into account before taking a job. Behavior around food, toys, and playtime is most important for me to know about your pup. If your cat is happy around other animals, they are welcome to roam free, but if they like their solitude please let me know and I can accommodate. I do not let my cat outside and will not accommodate for outdoor cats.

A typical day

I absolutely love taking dogs to the park and exploring nature with them! Lake Johnson and Dorothea Dix are my favorites. We live within 5 minutes of a park, so on most lunch breaks that’s where Ruby and I go. We also play a ton of fetch in the backyard and have fun training sessions daily. And, of course, I could play tug-o-war all day! If your pup is a couch potato, I'm happy to keep them company and watch some Netflix. You can expect your pup to get plenty of exercise with Ruby - she loves to play with new dogs!

Pet care experience

Puppies, senior dogs, cats, and reptiles welcome! I do not accept unfixed males at this time as my pup is not yet spayed, thank you! I am someone who could not imagine life without pets! With a deep passion for animals and several years of both owning and pet sitting, I would love the opportunity to take care of your furbabies. I have experience administering pills, liquids, and topicals, and feel comfortable doing so. We have a large fenced backyard, large sized crate, cat tree, a spare crate, and several local parks. I work from home and have the ability to give your pet personal, loving care — I always treat them like my own. I also have a passion for taking pictures of animals—expect your pet to get some glamour shots! IMPORTANT TO NOTE: I almost always recommend/require a meet and greet to ensure our animals get along well! I only watch up to two dogs at a time (from one family) in order to assure that your pet is comfortable and relaxed, while still getting to spend time with another dog (mine!).

Emily is amazing. Oakley always comes back worn out from love and attention. Her dog Ruby is a sweet heart and provided my own with loads of play.

Emily provided daily updates and photos which was great as this was one of the longest times we’re had to be away from the pup. Maia was in good spirits when we picked her up!

Emily is amazing! Kona is our only furchild and we never like to leave him for long but Emily made us feel reassured that he was in great hands during his stay. He had an awesome stay and we got daily updates. I will definitely be wanting Kona to hang with Emily for any and all future trips we plan away.
