Pet care experience

Lover of all animals, big and small

I got my first dogs at five years old, and fell in love! One had serious medical issues for which I learned to accommodate over the beautiful 17 years we had together. I am now 38 and have owned a mini dox for 15 years, have guinea pigs, and have fostered dogs, cats, guinea pigs and rabbits. I love going on long walks and to the dog park. When pets are with us they are treated like people!

Emily was amazing! She came twice a day to look after my puppy and was absolutely great with him. She kept me updated with tons of wonderful photos and reassurance. I highly recommend her!

Emily has been amazing. I really appreciate her stopping by to play with Rainier, potty and eat & water, while I'm working and family on vacation. I appreciate it so much. Rainier has enjoyed the visits as well and loves playing with her daughter. ♡ thank you

Emily was available when we were in a pinch and it turned out to be the best possible experience for our pets. She gave our dog and cat each what they needed and created a safe comfortable environment that made them feel at home. Our pets even loved Emily’s kiddo and seems like it was mutual ☺️

Our dog was so happy to stay with Emily again. Thanks again for taking such good care of her and providing pictures and updates while we were away.

Safety, trust & environment

Boarding: We live in a 3,000 sq. Foot home with a VERY small fenced yard. Animals are given frequent potty breaks via a sliding glass door but are generally kept inside. We are not a good fit for high energy dogs that are used to living outside or on acres of property. I do try to take my high energy dogs to the dog park every day, so it is important that they be good with other dogs if they are high energy. Walking: I can walk dogs at a fast pace, and jog at a very slow pace. I cannot provide a fast long run! I was to emphasize that we have children ages 4 and 11. They are very good with our shy dogs, and generally leave them alone. They are kids though and can be rambunctious, which isn’t the best fit for everyone.

A typical day

I wake about 6:30 and will let your pet out to use the restroom. I usually get them out for a walk before 9:00. During the week they can hang out with me in my office or anywhere else in the house. Evenings the kids get back home and we will eat dinner then go to the dog park.

Our best suited for small to medium, or extra large (lazy) breeds. Working breeds may get restless in our space, unless they are satiated by long walks. We love dogs of all ages!!
