Pet care experience

Your pup's new best friend is here!

Your pup's new best friend is here! I've been a pet lover my whole life — growing up surrounded by dogs and cats taught me that every tail wag, zoomie, and snuggle matters. I'm also a proud border collie parent, so I know firsthand what it takes to keep even the most energetic pups happy and entertained. Whether your furry friend needs a fun-filled walk, a sleepover buddy, or an action-packed day of daycare, I'm all in. I live right near Gas Works Park, so your dog will get to enjoy some of the best views and open space Seattle has to offer on our adventures together. I treat every dog like family. That means plenty of playtime, belly rubs on demand, and constant updates so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new, and I don't take that lightly. If you're looking for someone who'll genuinely enjoy hanging out with your dog (not just watch the clock), let's connect!

Emily was great! Gave me lots of updates throughout the day about activities and was willing to adjust her schedule to meet the needs of my dog. Asked all the right questions and I really sensed she genuinely cared about my dog’s wellbeing. She even helped me load my up my truck with all of my dogs belongings while my hands were full. My dog had a blast and could tell she was worn out from all the walks and play with her pup. Will definitely book with her again!

Emily was perfect for Toby! He’s older and been through a lot of change so I was nervous to leave him somewhere new, but it was clear he was getting a lot of love, human time, stimulation (sniff walks, dog park, car rides), and Emily kept me feeling very comfortable about his stay. She has a very warm and caring demeanor and I immediately felt comfortable at our meet and greet. She will be my new go-to, and I have absolutely no reservations about leaving Toby with her! Thank you Emily!! (And Addie 🐶)

Emily is INCREDIBLE! She took amazing care of my dog, went above and beyond to help with her allergies and leash anxiety, and was kind & understanding when my pick-up flight got delayed. She sent lots of updates and Wren looked so content, she truly took care of her like she was her own. They went hiking (which is not always an easy feat with Wren!), got lots of play time with Emily’s dog, and cuddled all weekend. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pup’s home away from home!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 26, 2026

Jojo had been going to day care with Emily for more than a month now and he loves going back. He is always excited to meet Emily and addy. He found a safe place and a buddy to play along. He comes home all exhausted from the picnic awaiting next meet ! I really appreciate Emily extending help in pick up and drop off. I am looking forward to continue this journey.

Emily is an incredible dog caregiver. Her dog Addy and my dog Nori play well together all the time, and I know that whenever I leave him with her, he is well cared for. She’s always happy to take them on walks together or to the park, and loves to snuggle up with the pups when they’re at home. Book with Emily and you’ll be sure to get an amazing sitter for your pup!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a two story townhome right next to gas works park. I have a very friendly active six year old border collie who loves to play but also leaves dogs alone if that is the vibe. Due to having a very energetic pup, I have to do daily walks and park visits which your dog can join in on the adventure and wonderful views. I also am familiar with dog crating if that is something you prefer.

Pets

A typical day

I love to go on walks and on hikes and play fetch at gas works park. My active border collie requires me to get outside multiple times a day. I also love the woodland park dog park.
