Availability

We work full-time (9-5) jobs, but always make time for long morning and evening walks. Tarek's fully remote job allows for intermittent play and attention during the day. On weekends, we like to be outside with our dog as much as possible whether that means a trip to the beach, dog park, or exploring a new trail. We're able to board during the week + weekends, or provide drop-in care/walks! We're happy to work with your pet’s needs and routine.

Your Dog’s Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

My fiancé (Tarek) and I have cared for dogs for years and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. We have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet seniors—and we treat every dog as if they were our own. We’re reliable, attentive, and focused on giving you total peace of mind while you’re away. Our goal is simple: to provide the same level of love, safety, and care we’d want for our own dog. We have one 4-year-old dog, Murray, who loves making new dog friends and enjoys plenty of playtime. We’re always happy to do a meet-and-greet or chemistry test before any boarding to ensure a safe, comfortable environment for everyone. We also have an adult female cat, Tux, who found her way to us about a year ago and quickly made herself at home. She’s primarily an outdoor cat but sleeps inside at night. Tux and Murray get along very well, and while she tends to keep to herself when other dogs are around, this has never posed an issue during dog sitting. Tarek works full-time from home, so there’s always someone here, and I work a hybrid schedule and am home two days each week. We have a fully fenced yard perfect for playtime and sunbathing, plus an enclosed, shaded porch that’s ideal for afternoon snoozes. We’d love to host your VIP (very important pup!) anytime and make sure they feel right at home 🐾 We also offer walks and drop-in services.

Emily and Tarek were absolutely wonderful with Zuess. You can tell right away that she genuinely cares about dogs and pays attention to their personalities, not just the routine parts of care. Zuess came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very loved. She kept me updated, made me feel comfortable while I was away, and treated him like he was her own. 5 stars <3

Emily Deal is a fantastic dog mother. She also is a lover of all animals and a great neighbor. I’m so thankful to have Emily be able to check on Piper on Wednesdays and Fridays while I’m at work. I always know that she’s safe in Emily‘s care! 5 Stars!

I’ve known Emily for 30 years so I feel like I have the perspective and credibility to confidently say that she will take perfect care of your pets. She has always been the biggest animal lover and just as important, she has always been responsible. She will take care of your pets as if they are her own.
