let me run and cuddle w/ your pup!
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m lucky in that, since I was born, there have been all sorts of dogs in my household. I became a dog owner myself on my 21st birthday, opening me up to a world of dog friends and dog lovers! I’ve dog sat and walked a number of my friends’ dogs (of all tempermants, breeds, and sizes) for years and loved every second of it. My own dog, Nellie, an Aussie/lab mix, has gone through extensive training for anxiety. Nellie’s trainers focus on human training as well, teaching body positioning and language, so I’m well-equipped to handle your confident dogs as well as your more timid pups. I’m a grad student with a lot of availability and I would love to meet your pup!
Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about Emily! My dog, Wesley, has truly found a furrever friend in her. She is an amazingly responsible individual who I have entrusted with Wesley since I met her, in 2013. Emily is always timely to walk and feed Wesley while I'm at work, going above and beyond to take him to a park or pond for maximum fun (and exhaustion!) She is consistent and reliable, as well as incredibly kind and polite. I feel completely at ease leaving my dog with Emily overnight, or over a weekend, knowing she will go out of her way to make sure he feels comfortable and at home.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. I love ALL dog breeds (especially pits). However, I would like to know whether your dog struggles with pulling, is reactive towards other dogs/bikes/etc on walks, or whether they’re timid or prefer certain toys or treats when I’m locking up after the walk/drop in.
A typical day
I LOVE walking. My dog can only handle one or two walks in the summer heat, so I enjoy the opportunity and excuse to get outside as much as possible. I love the greenway walking paths, and live within very close walking distance of three different access points! Your pup will get plenty of exercise whilst he or she stays with me. If agreed upon in advance, I’ll gladly take your pup (along with my own) to the private dog parks at Sandy Creek Park, free of charge.
