Dogs are better than People <3

Pet care experience

Dogs are our little heartbeats at our feet. They are our best friends, fur babies and for some of us, our children. I started sitting on Rover after the loss of my previous dog (the house was too empty) and decided to continue once we got our sweet dog, Gus. I like to run, walk, and be outside, but I also love snuggle time and nurturing dogs. As a lifetime pet/dog owner/lover, with a background in photography, I will send regular updates and photos to you while you have to be away from your pet(s), as I understand the importance of this. I am currently a full-time graduate student, but I am home studying often and on the one day I am gone for classes from 9-5, we have a lovely dog walker who comes by for a thirty-minute walk/playtime, and my wife Robin helps with walks (and snuggles) when needed. Daily exercise is provided with walks and lots of play time, and lots of cuddle time on the couch or lap time while I read and study. Gus is very quiet and on occasion also provides play time with our guests. We would be thrilled to take care of your dog like they were our own!

I'm always a little nervous leaving my older Shiba Inu Cody with a new person, but as soon as I met Emily it was clear she was very experienced and comfortable with dogs. She was knowledgeable about Shiba Inu's "quirkiness", and was very flexible about setting up a pre stay meeting between Cody and her dog Gus to put me more at ease. Throughout the stay she sent tons of pictures and even a couple videos of Cody playing (which I loved), and was very responsive when we needed to talk about arrangements for pick up and drop off. I'd definitely recommend her as a sitter.

Emily was such a wonderful caretaker with our pup! We were so worried leaving our dog for the first time but the there was no question that she was in good hands and we were able to enjoy our time away. We also loved the picture updates! Our dog had a fun time and we’d certainly work with Emily again :)

I can't recommend Emily highly enough. She treated our dog Beet with kindness, took excellent care of her, was responsive and sent frequent updates with photos. Emily is a wonderful caretaker for any pet!

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

What does your dog need? Lots of recreation? Lots of snuggles, playtime daily? How can I make them comfortable? What treats Do they like? Do they know any commands? Can they go to the dog park? And anything else you think would help me to take the best care of them I possibly can!

A typical day

I do long walks in the morning and at night and will even jog with your dog if they need the extra energy burned off! We will play daily and if they like the dog park there is a small park just 3 blocks away, and prospect park is less than a mile for those longer walks/runs. Gus also likes to play and is generally happy to do a little wrestling here and there.
