The best care for your best friend!
Pet care experience
As a sitter, I have a true compassion for taking care of animals. There’s no better experience to me than to dedicate time to each and every pup that needs it! After all, dogs have always been there for me, so I believe that it’s my duty to give back to them however I can. As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to be away from your pup, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible! But since I don’t have any dogs of my own right now, your pup will have my complete and undivided attention! I’ve been around dogs for pretty much my entire life. As a kid, I grew up owning lots of large dogs, like German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Labs, and Huskies. I’m very familiar with large pups and have no problem looking after them! Later on in life, I wanted to start giving back a little more and became a volunteer at an animal shelter. It was a wonderful experience and I learned so much about taking care of animals that need a little extra TLC to thrive. From then on, I became a professional dog walker and am now attending nursing school! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I believe that communication is the heart of every good booking! Right from the get-go, I like to get as much information about you and your pup as possible. That way, I can start thinking about how to make your pooch’s time with me a dream come true! During the stay, I’m always forthright with my communication and provide detailed daily updates to owners. I’m happy to take notes on anything from meal prep to exercise times--or anything else you need to know that your best friend is in good hands!

Emily was amazing! I coordinated with Emily to pick up and drop off my dog as my dog was taking photos with us for our wedding. She was so patient since it was such a hectic day and my dog Zoey seemed so relaxed with Emily. Love that she sent photos throughout the day to see how Zoey was doing. Thank you so much Emily for watching Zoey! It felt great to know she was safe through all the hustle of the weekend!
Emily is fantastic, I have had her walk my sweet senior dog and for drop in visits with my kitty while I am away and she has always done such a great job!
This is the second time I've had Emily watch after my kitty and she did a fantastic job. Very prompt, kept me informed, and sent pictures of my kitty with each visit. Highly recommend Emily to watch after you fur babies!
Emily had our insane 3 year old pittie mix for 10 whole days. We were initially so nervous to leave him (never left him for that long without family watching him), but after meeting Emily we were at ease & Link immediately took to her. She sent multiple pictures of Link enjoying snuggles, walks, and runs daily, and even took him to the dog beach AND gave him a bath before he came home. He was so happy in each photo, and obviously very well loved during our trip. Would highly recommend Emily for anyone looking for a quality sitter!

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
Right adjacent to my house is a big, beautiful dog park! It’s the best place to go if we want to make new friends. I love being close to it and all my clients love heading out there for a quick visit. It’s a really nice place to get some exercise as well, as I know how much everyone likes a little off-leash time! Nevertheless, I’m happy to accommodate your pooch’s energy level. Whether that’s a big run first thing in the morning or just lounging around on the couch together, I’ll make sure that your pup is as happy and healthy as can be.
