Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard where your pet can roam free and a sweet pug they can play with if they choose to! I have a designated area where your pet can have alone time or be crated if needed, and there is a walking trail and dog park in my neighborhood we can play and walk in! Any pets I watch will be walked twice per day (three times for boarding) and allowed as much or as little time as they would like outside.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

- Does your pet get along with other animals? I have a senior pug who is a huge sweetie and would love to play with new friends who are non-aggressive! - Does your pet have any allergies or take any medications? - How does your pet behave on a leash? - Are there any additional care instructions I should know about your pet?

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. From walks to toys and treats to a day at the park, I can ensure your pup will come home happy and healthy!

Pet care experience

Hello!! My name is Emily and I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From high-energy pups to senior dogs, I know how to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. In my free time, I volunteer at the animal shelter working primarily with dogs and have also fostered puppies and dogs! These experiences have taught me patience, adaptability, and how to meet each pet’s unique needs with compassion and care. I'm fairly new to Arizona and am excited to connect with other pet parents and build lasting relationships in the community. I treat every pet I care for like my own because I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your furry family members. What you can expect from me is: • Personalized attention and updates (photos & messages every visit!) • Reliable, responsible care and clear communication • Experience with medication administration, leash training, and special needs pets • A calm, loving presence that helps animals feel right at home Whether you need a safe place for your pet to be during the workday, overnight care, walks, or just someone to drop by and give your pet some love, I’m here to provide! I look forward to hearing from you!!

Emily is THE BEST. I had a stress-free vacation in terms of worrying about my dogs back at home. She understood our pups' needs and personalities and took such great care of them. She kept us updated on everything, sent reassuring pics, managed our packages/deliveries coming to the house while we were gone. I think she even did the dishes I accidentally left in the sink! Just above and beyond. I will absolutely be contacting her again if we take another trip. So happy we chose her as our dog sitter!
