Pet care experience
I've been passionate about caring for animals my entire life and come from a family of dedicated pet lovers. Over the past 9+ years, I've provided reliable pet care for friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As the owner of a senior dog, I have firsthand experience caring for older pets and understand the patience, attention, and specialized care they often require. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship, I'm committed to following their routine and providing individualized care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing compassionate, trustworthy care while keeping you updated with photos and messages during your pet's stay. I would be honored to care for your pet and look forward to providing them with a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.
Reviews
Emily has been an invaluable part of our lives for almost 4 years now. My husband and I both travel often and have 3 needy (and spoiled) large breed dogs. We feel very at ease leaving knowing they are in good hands. Two require medication and need to go outside frequently, and she has always been reliable for their needs. We trust her to stay overnight or show up for any last minute requests. She truly cares about animals and prioritizes their safety and comfort. We really couldn’t say enough good things about her!
I could not say better things when it comes to Emily and the quality of care she provides to both of my dogs! She is attentive, patient, and always going above and beyond in making sure the boys are content and happy - You can see this in how excited they get every time she walks through the door! She also sends regular updates, which is so reassuring! I have no reservations about her staying at my house to pet sit and she always keeps things nice and tidy. I highly recommend Emily to anyone who wants to know their pets are in the best hands possible, outside of your own!
Emily watched my little poodle Frosty for a couple of days and was phenomenal. My dog is currently on medication so Emily was prompt at making sure my dog received his pills at the correct time that he needed them. My little poodle was so happy when I picked him up and he definitely trusted Emily, she was a super phenomenal dog watcher for the weekend for us and I would let her watch my dog anytime. Thank you so much for taking care of my little baby Emily. It’s really hard finding great dog watchers these days and you were amazing.
Emily has always been the person who takes the time to understand each dog she meets—whether it's getting to know their temperament or figuring out the best way to keep them happy and active. Emily is not only compassionate but also very responsible, ensuring each dog in her care gets the right amount of exercise and attention. She’s great at managing different energy levels, whether she’s taking a laid-back stroll or handling a dog that loves to run. She’s patient, calm, and observant, which makes her perfect for walking dogs of all types. What really sets Emily apart is her genuine love for animals. You can tell she’s not just doing it for the job—she truly cares about each dog as if they were her own. I have no doubt she’ll be an outstanding dog walker, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and caring for their furry friends!
