Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog lover
A dog lover from birth, I grew up with a dog and often took care of neighbors pets. After college, I worked with dogs full time as a dog walker/pet sitter for 2 years which along with my dog grooming certification has given me lots of experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I had to say goodbye to my own dog, Sawyer, after 13 years together and while I’m not ready to adopt a new dog yet, I miss having a dog around to play and take care of. I’d love to be able to take care of your pup and spoil them with walks and playtime so they come home feeling like they’ve had a vacation too. In addition to my previous professional dog experience and my personal experience I also frequently take care of friends and family’s dogs, which includes a mini dachshund who has a previous back injury, so I know how important supporting and keeping his back straight is.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Macy was in wonderful hands from start to finish and enjoyed her time with Emily, who is very friendly and incredibly communicative. We truly appreciated the attention and care Emily provided and would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
As usual, Echo had a blast with Emily on long walks filled with sniffs!
As always, Emily was fantastic and kept me updated throughout my trip on how Echo was doing. Emily was very flexible when winter storms caused travel delays and I knew Echo was in good hands until I was able to get home.
As always, Echo had a wonderful time with Emily. Emily kept me updated throughout my trip and I know Echo is always in good hands when she stays with Emily!
Emily watched Bosco while I was out of the country over Thanksgiving week -- I knew I'd have nothing to worry about, and she came through once again with her hilarious and very sweet updates. Bosco is a very smart and sometimes high-maintenance dog, but Emily was very patient and more than capable of handling him. I can't recommend her enough!
Bosco had an awesome time with Emily! I loved her updates throughout his stay and would definitely book again. Bosco is a big baby, but Emily was more than capable of handling him and he warmed up to her right away.

Schedule
I work from home so the dog/s would not be left alone for any extended periods. I also have a pretty flexible schedule so taking dogs out for regular bathroom breaks is not a problem.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced in yard that is primarily pea gravel with a small mulched area. I would prefer to walk the dog/s for bathroom and primary exercise but have the yard for extra time outside and fresh air. My home is a 3-level townhouse with a short staircase to the front door. The main and basement levels are split, so there are a good amount of stairs. For senior dogs or, if your dog has limited mobility, I can block off the upstairs and the lower levels and they will still have a good amount of space in the kitchen and dining room. The dining room has an open railing so it’s still very connected to the living room and wouldn’t mean your dog would be isolated because of that. My own dog chose to keep to those spaces for his last 6 months with me.
A typical day
I’ll try to follow as much of your dog’s typical routine as I can. We will take walks around the neighborhood or by the lake and explore all the new smells to exercise them both mentally and physically. Lots of playtime, belly rubs and ending the day with cuddles on the couch (or floor depending on owners preference) are all part of the days agenda.
