Pet Loving Teacher

I've loved animals for a long time. When I was in college I started fostering kittens and dogs that needed a break from the shelter. Now I have a 12 year old cat and a 5 year old Sheppardlab mut. I'm comfortable giving Insulin shots to cats in need and administering oral medication. I love being out and about and meeting new furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment

I like walking dogs in the city. I'm comfortable taking dogs to a dog park once I get to know them. I'm happy to let your fur baby out or keep them company.

Olly and Archie had a great time with Emily! Plenty of snuggles and great walks with lots of updates throughout the weekend :) Cannot recommend enough!

Emily took great care of Harper particularly during some of the worst weather we’ve had in DC in years! Can always rely on her to do a great job!

Emily is a superstar! We have an older, high anxiety dog who can take time to warm up to and trust new people. She and Emily got along right away, and it was clear that Emily is experienced, capable, and a true dog lover. It gave us such peace of mind to know our pup was in such good hands while we were away, and Emily kept us updated with lots of photos and messages.

Emily is very communicative and clearly loves working with pets. I trust her fully to stay in my home and she’s a clean and courteous houseguest!!

Emily exceeded all expectations, even handling an earlier cancellation gracefully. She proactively scheduled a visit closer to the new booking date just to reacquaint herself with our dog, Bruno. We received daily texts and pictures, which kept us perfectly updated. We look forward to nooking her again!

Emily was very communicative, responded quickly, and sent lots of photos of our cat and dog! She also left our apartment as she found it. Will happily reach out again in the future.

I'd love to know what encourages your dog and what I can do to reassure them when they need. What's your dog's favorite walk and favorite toy?
