Pet care experience
Letting your dog stop and smell the roses... I’m a teacher looking to spend my summer days on walks with your dog. I grew up caring for a chocolate lab, Lilly, who lived to be 16 (that’s 112 in dog years!). I’d attribute that to the love we showed each other... and playing catch so often. I am a trusted volunteer dog walker at Doggie Style pet shop. I’m now looking to adopt a pup, though in the meantime, I’m playing the field and walking dogs for fun. I’m caring, responsible, and prompt. I’m available in the mornings and afternoons, and would love to head to the baseball field, boxer’s trail, or along the schuykill river for walks. If your dog is very energetic, I’d be happy to run with your dog. Your dog will love it!
Reviews
Emily took great care of my pups Wilbur and Oscar! She asked a lot of relevant questions when picking them up, such as how they get along with other dogs and what they would need along the way. It was clear to me she knows dogs well (and loves them). Oscar is a little high maintenance (he has thyroid disease) and she was very gentle and loving with him. After the walk, she filled me in on how he did. I would definitely recommend Emily to anyone!
Our dog Vesper loves Emily, she was already a trusted acquaintance, but when she moved to our neighborhood, she also became our go-to dog-walker. She is enthusiastic and energetic but also calm and gentle, (Vesper is a rescue and can be skiddish, however he gets so excited whenever she comes over, expecting to play or go on a walk...), we sometimes joke that he likes her more than us! She's the best, couldn't recommend her more!
Emily is loved by all, both human and creatures. She has a very easy-going nature about her, and both of my dogs (Beans and Ruby) have always connected easily with her. Emily is fun and energetic with them, and takes the time to make sure they have gotten all of the attention that they deserve. Our dogs are often shy and anxious at first, but Emily has always been able to calm their nerves and put them at ease. She is our favorite dogwalker and dogsitter, and I would highly recommend her!
Emily has taken care of our beloved greyhound, Nina. She is responsible and totally reliable. I trust her to have keys to our house and follow our instructions. All that and Nina loves her! Nina just about turns herself inside out when she sees Emily. She is terrific.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any quirks that I should know about. Also, if you have a preference about the activities or where you want us to walk, I’m flexible! I have a special place on my heart for labs, though I love all dog breeds.
A typical day
We can go on walks on Boxer’s trail, walk around the art museum, or along the river trail. I’m happy to match your dogs pace, quick or slow. I play ultimate frisbee, chase, tug of war, catch, and would go on a run if your dog is up for it!
