Awesome care for a very needy, elderly large dog. Very chill and stayed late until I returned home. Very highly recommend!

Emily is a great sitter! My dogs are skittish around new people and they did great with her, seemed happy when I came home and my place was SPOTLESS. Thanks Emily!

Trustworthy, kind, and passionate. Emily looked after our dog for a week and was responsive and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely have Emily watch my dog again!

Boba had a great time with Emily. I appreciated the quick communication and flexibility. Emily made sure Boba got plenty of exercise and love. I could tell that Boba was very comfortable and happy.

I am soooooo happy we found Emily for our nervous pup. It was a longer time away so I was also nervous, but Emily far exceeded our expectations! I selfishly don't want her to be overbooked when I need her next! :D Thank you thank you!!

A typical day

I make sure to get dogs out at least a few times a day. I am right near a large park, and a 10 minute walk from a dog park. I love to explore new neighborhoods so can daily accommodate in a new place as well!
