Pet care experience

Everything you need under one woof

I’ve had pets in my life from day one. From dogs to cats, birds to reptiles, and hedgehogs to rats I have experience in it all! I’m comfortable with small or large animals and am willing to commit to all types of care. I have experience in bathing, feeding, walking, and even distributing medicine to cats and dogs and can provide basic care for most types of animals. The most important thing, however, is that your pets will be LOVED under my care.

Dog Walking • Jun 26, 2026

Emily has been walking/caring for my pup, Gino, for 2 years now and she is the absolute best! She is very flexible and accommodating with my crazy work schedule, communicative and so caring! She’s done house sitting as well as multiple weekly walks for the past two years & always willing to help with the occasional medications when needed! My Gino absolutely adores her! I highly recommend Emily!

Drop-In Visits • Oct 31, 2024

Emily did a great job watching our dog while we were away for a few days. Our pup needed to be given medicine and to be walked and Emily did that as well as give her a lot of extra TLC! She communicated with us after each visit and sent us picture updates as well. We appreciate how much love Emily showed our dog and we highly recommend her!

Emily was absolutely wonderful!! Nala took to her right away. We had some bad experiences before Emily and Emily was very understanding of that. She made sure Nala was comfortable. I would definitely have Emily watch Nala again!

Emily is a fantastic sitter and my dog does so well with his separation anxiety when she is taking care of him. Emily sent regular updates and I could see how much more relaxed he was than he has been with some of our other sitters in the past. Thanks so much for taking good care of my little dude!

Schedule

I do work full-time and my work is in Wheaton, but I am more than happy to stop by on lunchbreaks for a potty break or to say hello if needed--so long as it's not more than 20 minutes away! I of course dedicate the mornings and evenings to your babies! I have Friday/Saturdays off so I would be perfect for a weekend sitting job!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small apartment that allows pets. I do have a cat (Cleo) who is fine with dogs as long as she has a place to escape them and they are friendly with her! I do prefer boarding at your home on the basis I think it makes your pets more comfortable, however I am definitely willing to have them for a sleepover at my place :)

Pets

A typical day

Every walk will be a new adventure! I love taking dogs on new routes so that they can smell all the new smells and can be stimulated physically and mentally. Playing with toys will always be a part of the schedule (unless they’re not a fan) and cuddles are a must for all size lap dogs!

Any important medical information including: medication, physical needs, allergies, or anything else that you find necessary medically. I also appreciate knowing your pets comfort level with touch. Do they have areas that are no goes (like hips or ears, etc) are they sensitive to overstimulation? Things like that will help keep me and your pet safe!
