Reliable Care & Happy Pets
Hi, I’m Emily! A dependable, attentive animal lover who has made pet care my full time focus. After years working in accounting, I decided to step away from the corporate world and pursue something I genuinely enjoy: providing reliable care for families and their pets in my local community. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with both your pet and your home. I have a calm, patient personality and enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable to them. Whether your dog loves a good walk, playtime, extra attention, or simply needs someone to maintain their normal routine while you’re away, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel happiest and most at ease. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and detail oriented. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions, and I know how reassuring it is to receive thoughtful updates and pictures while your pet is in someone else’s care. Before transitioning to pet care full-time, I served 14 years in the military, earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting, and spent six years building my professional career in the corporate world. Those experiences helped shape the strong sense of organization, dependability, and attention to detail that I now bring to every pet and family I care for. I also love gardening and spending time outdoors, so getting outside for walks with my four legged clients is genuinely one of my favorite parts of the day! I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing dependable, personalized care you can feel confident about.

Ratings and reviews
Emily took great care of our dachshund, stopping in twice for the day while we away. She was very pleasant to work with! She sent great notes and photos. We will definitely consider working with her again
Emily is wonderful! She takes our dog, Luna, on midday walks, and we couldn’t be happier with her. She is always prompt, reliable, and goes above and beyond. Luna is always so happy after her walks, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing she’s in great hands. We highly recommend Emily!
Emily is fantastic during weekly drop-in visits with my pups, Jax & Lola. She is reliable, attentive and caring, spending lots of time playing with them outside, as well as giving them plenty of treats, pets, and affection. She even went above & beyond and cleaned up a mess one of my dogs left on the floor. She is a gem and I’m so grateful for the care she provides to my fur babies.
Emily always does such a fantastic job with our animals! Recommend her to anyone!
I can't say enough how grateful we are to have met Emily. She did a wonderful job with our very active dog and cat. We couldn't have been happier with her. Highly recommended!
Emily is amazing with our puppy!! She has walked him multiple times now and is very reliable and spends such quality time with him! It is hard being away at work but I feel so much better knowing he has such a great time walking and playing with her. She sends lots of pictures of him having fun and gives us updates on how the day went :)
