Hi I’m Emily ! As a part-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I’m ambitious and love keeping my days full and productive, so spending time with dogs fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. I’m an early bird, which means morning walks, feedings, and playtime are never a problem. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a long walk, I enjoy staying busy—and caring for pets is one of the most rewarding ways I do that.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I stick closely to their usual routine—meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I keep things tidy and respectful in clients’ homes and always give plenty of updates, photos, and love! If they’re in my space, they’ll have room to play, relax, and feel right at home.

Information Emily r. would like to know about your pet

To give your pet the best care possible, here are some important things I like to know ahead of time: • Daily Routine – Feeding times, walk schedule, potty breaks, nap habits, and any rituals they love. • Diet & Treats – What they eat, how much, how often, and if there are any food allergies or sensitivities. • Medical Needs – Any medications, past injuries, health conditions, or vet contact info in case of emergencies. • Behavior & Temperament – Are they shy or social? Do they get along with other pets or people? Are there any triggers (e.g., loud noises, skateboards)? • Training & Commands – What cues they know (like “sit,” “stay,” or “leave it”) and how they respond to them. • Exercise Needs – How much activity they need and what kind of play or movement they enjoy.

A typical day

As someone who’s active and always up for an adventure, I love making every pet-sitting experience exciting and enriching. Whether it’s daily walks or weekend outings, here are some fun activities I’ll do with your pet: Every activity is tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level—whether they’re a curious explorer or a snuggly sidekick.

Playful and caring always on the go

Pet care experience

I’ve spent the last 5 years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels—from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I’m very active, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation. I’m confident handling leash training, basic commands, and I’m always happy to follow special routines or dietary needs. What truly sets me apart is how much I treat every dog like they’re my own—with love, consistency, and lots of tail wags!

Bailey was super comfortable with Emily! She was always responsive and let us know how our girl was doing. Highly recommended!

Emily was prompt and took great care of our little one. She communicated throughout the evening on their activities and our home was well taken care of. Would definitely use again

A very last minute request to find a sitter for our little girl. Emily was very responsive to our needs, came over quickly to do a meet annd greet with Bailey Rose annd we decided to move forward. The next day, Emily arrives on time and she annd Bailey Rose hit it off. Bailey Rose enjoyed the time with her and their outings! Emily kept us up to date with the days events she has planned, sent pictures through the day and whenever we wanted an update, Emily was quick to respond and give us all the details. We never worried about Bailey Rose or our home as we knew it was left in good hands. Emily left the house in better condition than she started. Would definitely hire her again!
