Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with many kinds and styles of dog ownership, so I'm happy to care for your pet however you need! I'm willing to stay in a client's home if a pet needs overnight care, or simply drop in for walks, medications, or feedings during the work day.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I can watch out for. I’m happy to help with basic medical needs. I also find that knowing a dog’s typical walking schedule is also helpful for preventing separation anxiety or unexpected accidents!

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood, or if they’re up for it, a nature hike! All dogs have different excercise and stimulation needs, so I want to make sure they have a good experience

Pet care experience

I've taken care of many breeds and ages of dogs including pets with behavioral issues, medical needs, senior dogs, and puppies! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, and am happy to adjust to your pet's needs. I also have experience trimming nails, administering medication, and adhering to specific dietary needs.

Emily was fantastic! She stayed over and took wonderful care of my fur baby, providing regular updates + pics and thoughtful communication throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such caring hands. Highly recommend—and I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Emily was absolutely amazing! This is the third time she has watched our pets. She took such great care of our dog Maggie and our cat Roo while we were away. It was such a relief knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful messages, and we could tell both pets were happy and comfortable. The apartment was spotless when we returned, and Maggie and Roo clearly adored her. We would trust Emily again in a heartbeat—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!

Emily accommodated a very last minute request & I couldn’t be more grateful! Bronx is an adoptee and experiences a good deal of separation anxiety. I was nervous of him meeting someone new without a meet and greet, needless to say he absolutely adored her and she was very patient and loving with him!
