Availability

I work from home so I will be available all day and night to let pets in and out or attend to needs. There are many toys to play with and walks can happen throughout the day, as well as a long walk in the evening. I have a small, sweet chihuahua mix and so lots of dog care is involved with every day of my life :) He has separation anxiety so I rarely go anywhere. Couches are dog friendly and we have lots of living room play time.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know detailed Instructions for any medication , allergies , preferences in toys etc that your dog may have, Including how long you usually walk them for.

A typical day

I have a toy box in the living room and a dedicated play rug and dog friendly furniture. I like to make sure dogs feel comfortable and welcome when they walk in the door. We take long daily walks to the beautiful knott park. I will fine tune the day so it meets whatever special requirements your pet needs to make them feel comfortable and happy during your absence.

Pet care experience

I have many years of dog sitting experience, as well as experience caring for senior pets. I have a lovely quiet and clean home that is cozy and dog friendly, with a large fenced yard. I provide a premier service that caters to nervous or special needs dogs who need a little extra attention throughout the day. I only take on one dog at a time, so your little darling will receive specialized and focused attention to meet their specific requirements.

Emily did an excellent job spoiling my senior dog Francis. He had a lovely time with her, and I felt perfectly safe leaving my favorite boyo in her care

Emily was amazing. I could tell Luna had such a fun and comfortable time. I loved all the picture and video updates. It makes me feel so much better going out of town knowing that Luna is safe, happy, and well cared for. I would definitely book with Emily again.

Emily is a stellar dog-sitter! I got frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout my dog’s stay with her, and she’s so friendly accommodating. Highly recommended!
