Pet care experience

Reliable & experienced dog lover

I offer a premium pet sitting/walking experience because of my hands on experience in many different dog environments. I have trained service dogs through 4 Paws for Ability, worked in a busy dog daycare, volunteered in shelters, and competed in agility. These experiences help me understand behavior, manage different energy levels, and support dogs with unique needs. I am dependable, organized, and attentive to every detail of your dog’s routine. I also make communication a priority and provide frequent updates, photos, and notes so you always feel connected to your dog while you are away. If you choose to trust me with your dog, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable and caring hands.

Safety, trust & environment

The safety and health of your pets is my number one priority. From shifting to indoor activities on days when the temperature is dangerously hot to double checking that the harness/collar is fitted properly before going outside, I do everything in my power to keep your dogs happy and healthy. Additionally, positive reinforcement is the foundation of how I train and interact with animals. I use it with my own dogs and with the service dogs I’ve helped train, and I’m happy to continue that approach with your pets. This means no yelling, “punishing”, or other harsh corrective methods will be used.

House Sitting • Jul 08, 2021

My golden doodle was so relaxed and had no separation anxiety when I got back. He even missed her when she left as well. Emily did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and I will definitely be scheduling with her again if she is available! Vacation was worry free knowing my dog was in good hands. Very thankful for her home stay and dog sitting!

Emily is an amazing dog sitter. My dog, Winston, has separation anxiety and doesn't get along with folks that give him a "bad vibe." Winston loved Emily the moment he met her, and she really took the time to make sure he got the attention he needed. She also made sure to give him walks, to make sure he ate, gave him his medication, and updated me daily on how he was doing with included pictures. Sometimes when he is stressed, he will not eat if I am not around. Winston had a great appetite while Emily was watching him, which shows how compassionate she was towards him. I am thankful I found Emily to watch Winston and would recommend her to anyone!

Emily is an amazing dog sitter. If I ever need someone to watch my dogs, she is the first person that I ask. She's always more than willing to help out and she goes above and beyond my expectations. Along with caring for pet dogs, Emily is also a volunteer trainer for Service Dogs in Training. Her experience is unmatched and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caregiver, sitter, or walker for their dog.

Schedule

I work remotely so I am able to offer drop in and dog walking services weekdays before 8:45 AM, during my lunch break most days, and after 4:30 PM. I also have availability most weekends. For select dogs, I may consider overnight or weekday daycare in my own home on a case-by-case basis, dependent on my own dogs getting along with yours and the behavior of your dog(s) - must be house trained and non-destructive. I would only take dog(s) from ONE client in home at a time (in addition to my own two dogs). Please reach out to discuss this further.

I would love to hear about their likes and dislikes, routine, quirks, activity level, and temperament around people and dogs so I can be well prepared. I am more than happy to accommodate to any special needs, but I can provide the best experience by knowing all there is to know in advance!
