Pet care experience

gives long walks and lots of love

hi! i'm Emily, and i've been dog sitting since i was 16, so caring for other people's dogs feels second nature at this point. i'm most comfortable with small to medium size dogs and love getting them out for exercise, especially long walks. if your pup has energy to burn, i'm here for it. at home i have a Yorkie and an Australian Shepherd, so i'm no stranger to different dog personalities and energy levels. i pay close attention to each dog's pace, quirks, and comfort with new people, and i make sure they're getting the movement and attention they need while you're away. whether it's a walk around the block or an overnight stay, your dog will be well loved and well exercised with me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

when your dog stays with me, they become part of the household for the duration. they'll have access to a safe, comfortable space, regular walks, playtime with my own dogs if it's a good match, and a consistent routine so they're not stressed by the change in environment. i keep a close eye on eating, energy, and bathroom habits and will update you with photos and check-ins throughout their stay. i have a small fenced in backyard and a neighborhood for plenty of walks! i also offer overnight stays and check-ins at your home, so your pet can stick to their normal environment and routine while you're away. i'll follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, keep the space tidy, and bring in mail or packages if needed. for cats especially, staying in their own space tends to be way less stressful than a new environment, and i'm happy to give them the company and attention they're used to. whether your pet stays with me or i come to you, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for the whole time.

Emily was available for an emergency booking and did a wonderful job ensuring my kitties were fed until I could get home. So grateful she was there to help!

This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dogs, Lucy and Finn, for a full week. Emily was reliable, caring and attentive and her regular updates and photos gave us peace of mind while we were out of the country. She patiently won over our territorial seven pound Finn within a few days and made sure our 65 pound Lucy received her daily medicine for and upset stomach. Lucy was fully recovered when we returned, and both dogs loved their daily walks. We came home to two happy,well cared for pups and would gladly book Emily again. Highly recommended!

Emily is an attentive and reliable caretaker and I’ve seen firsthand how great she is when caring for pets. She always ensures every animal is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. She has a genuine heart and treats all pets as if they were her own. I couldn’t recommend anyone better!
