Pet care experience
I walked and cared for the dogs of family and friends as a teenager. While in college, I would often cat sit and dog sit as a way to get some time with animals and take a break from roommates! As an adult, I adopted a lab-husky mix and I’ve devoted so much time, energy and love to her care. Since then I’ve jumped at the chance to dog sit for my friends dogs. I love meeting new pups and helping out with pet care.
Reviews
Emily was wonderful, left our house very tidy and took great care of our pets. We received daily updates and photos with great communication. I would definitely book Emily to housesit again!
Emily was amazing. She is super fast to respond and communicate and made us feel extremely Comfortable about leaving our pup with her. I would highly tecommmend her. Our dog took to immediately and she asked all the right questions..
Emily was wonderful with Bogey. She was attentive to his needs and was patient with his scent tracking while on walks. 5 stars.
My pup, who is weary of new people, took to Emily immediately. She took such good care of her that I think Osa was sad when I came home.

I live on a 20 acre property in Fieldbrook with a large fenced area. My dog is friendly and crate-trained. I have plenty of cozy spots in my house for a nap!
Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if your dog is reactive or has special personality quirks or health needs. I have a lot of experience with reactive dogs, it’s just always good to know before meeting!
A typical day
I love to take dogs on hikes! Some of my favorites are the Manila Dunes trails, McKay Community Forest, and the Arcata Community Forest. It’s great to see dogs explore new smells and sounds, off the pavement. I’m also a huge fan of nose work games, if it’s okay to give your dog some treats.
