Availability
I'm a City Planner and I work remotely, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and spending real time with pets during the day. I’m also available on weekends as long as plans are communicated ahead of time. I keep an early schedule, up early and usually in bed around 10 pm, so early morning walks or feedings aren’t an issue for me. I like having a routine and planning ahead, so as long as expectations are clear, I’m happy to make pet care part of my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. In your home, that means following your instructions closely, sticking to familiar feeding times, walk schedules, and any house rules you already have in place. I’m respectful of your space and make sure everything is left the way I found it. When pets are in my care, I keep things calm and structured. I pay attention to energy levels, adjust walks and play accordingly, and make sure pets have plenty of downtime if that’s what they need. I don’t rush routines and I give pets time to settle in and feel comfortable. Across both settings, I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m always happy to share updates so you know how things are going while you’re away.
Information Emily P. would like to know about your pet
I like to know as much as possible about a pet’s routine and personality ahead of time. Things like feeding schedule, walk preferences, energy level, and any quirks or habits that help them feel comfortable are really helpful. I appreciate knowing what they love and what might stress them out, like other dogs, strangers, loud noises, or new places. If there are any health considerations, medications, or training cues you use, I want to be aware of those too so I can keep things consistent. The more I know going in, the easier it is for me to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
A typical day
I love being outside, so a lot of time with pets naturally includes walks, fresh air, and exploring the neighborhood. For dogs who enjoy it, that can mean longer walks, easy jogs, or trips to dog friendly parks. I’m also happy to bring pets along for outings like grabbing coffee or sitting outside, as long as they’re comfortable and it fits their routine. I enjoy mixing in relaxed activities too, whether that’s hanging out at a park, a picnic in the sun, or water related activities for dogs who love to splash and cool off. Everything is always based on the pet’s energy level and preferences. Some days are more active, some are more mellow, but the goal is always for pets to get exercise, enrichment, and plenty of quality time.

Pet care experience
I grew up in a house where there was always a dog, and they were never the same kind twice. At one point it was a tiny Chihuahua who thought she ran the place, then a Boykin Spaniel who needed to burn off energy every single day, and later big dogs like Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and a Newfoundland who had zero awareness of his size. Living with all of them taught me pretty quickly how much personality and energy levels matter. Some dogs wanted long walks and constant movement, others just wanted a quiet presence and a predictable routine. Over time, I learned that good care isn’t about just doing the basics, it’s about paying attention. I’m the person who remembers how your dog likes their leash put on, notices when they need a slower walk, and picks up on the small habits that make them feel comfortable. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I take routines seriously, because I know how much pets depend on them. I like keeping things calm, familiar, and low stress, especially when their people are away. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, and for you to feel confident knowing they’re with someone who pays attention and showing up for them.
