Giving your pup all the lovin’
Pet care experience
I’m Emily, your dog’s future favorite sitter. He/she is probably staring at you right now with those puppy eyes, willing you to trust your beloved fur baby to me. And I have to say, I agree — your dog is a smart one — because I am highly skilled in cuddles, walks, frisbee and I don’t want to brag or anything, but I could probably beat the record of the most tennis balls thrown. Just saying. On to the more professional, as it’s not all snuggled and wet kisses, I have 5 years experience volunteering at two local animal shelters. I have individually fostered 3 dogs while they waited for their furever homes, and stayed in contact with their parents. What I most looked forward to as a child was growing up and having any dog I wanted, and not rehoming them like my mom did. Twice. (Still haven’t fully forgiven her, to be honest.) My heart found its way to a chocolate lab rescue and I had my boy for 10 glorious years filled with LOTS of water, muddy paws, snoring (his, not mine) and love. He passed away in June 2017 and I miss him everyday. My approach to dog sitting is treating them as I would want someone to treat my own. So if you don’t let your dog on the couch or bed, that’s cool, I’ll resist the urge. But if you do, even better. I have experience with skin irritations, food allergies and administering medication in the most creative ways possible. I’m happy to have an open dialogue with you in what you’re looking for in a sitter. If that’s not me, that’s ok. I want what is best for your dog.
Reviews
Emily was great! She sent us pictures almost every day and took great care of Harley! I have no doubt that Harley was never without attention between Emily, her kids or her puppy Amy. I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her to watch Harley again.
Very pleasant and caring! Our dog had a wonderful stay and was well taken care of. We would repeat without hesitation.
Emily was amazing, she kept me updated on my dog all day, and did an awesome job taking care of my pup. I would love to work with Emily again in the future and would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about any dog and/or food aggression. Recent procedures or surgeries that may leave them feeling tender and protective of an area of their body. Unique habits. (I’m not above letting a dog in the bathroom while I shower, for example. Separation anxiety is real.)
A typical day
We will start with a walk around the neighborhood to familiarize him/her with the area. From there, it’s up to your pup and their energy level. The possibilities are endless. We can go to the park, hiking, lake or just laze around the backyard.
