Dependable, Kind Care

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs for many years and have been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to provide consistent, attentive care. As a recent graduate, I don’t have the pet of my own right now, which allows me to focus fully on caring for others’ dogs and maintaining their routines with care and attention. I’ve cared for all ages of dogs.

Emily was extremely attentive and kind during her stay with our two frenchies. I felt at ease leaving them in her care and would 100% use her again in the future! Thank you again!

Emily was a great sitter for my puppy, Gus. He’s usually very shy and gets into everything, but her home was clean, calm, and a great environment for him. He warmed up to her quickly, and she kept me updated throughout the day. Gus came home relaxed and settled in easily, which told me he felt comfortable and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with Emily again.

Emily is a wonderful host for our cattledog, Rusty. Gave us needed flexibility during the holidays, great communication, and photos, and kept Rusty happy. 5 stars.

Emily has been an outstanding dog walker and sitter for me; I do not worry about the care our dog receives while Emily is helping us out. We have had her watch our dog for many overnight visits, and she treats our dog like it is her own. We have found Emily to be very responsible, and walking a dog gets her out from behind the computer desk from her professional job.
