Pet care experience

Lab tested, puppy approved!

Hi there! My name is Emily, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy senior, I treat every pet I meet like they’re part of my own family. I also share my home with Oakley, my 3-year-old black Lab who loves everyone he meets! He’s great with new dogs and especially gentle and patient with puppies. He is a very good lab assistant!🤣 If your pup enjoys canine company, Oakley’s happy to help them feel right at home. Your pet’s health and happiness are my top priorities. I’m a big believer in keeping things safe and natural—so you won’t catch me handing out store-bought treats full of mystery ingredients. Instead, I like to keep it simple with dog-safe favorites like blueberries, watermelon, beef liver, cucumbers, and carrots (with your approval, of course!). Whether it’s a walk around the block or an overnight stay, I bring patience, love, and a calm presence to every visit. From chill hang out days with seniors to nonstop adventures with puppies. I’d love to meet your furry best friend and give them the care and attention they deserve. Looking forward to tail wags and happy paws soon!

Emily did a great job of watching my dog. She sent me pictures and videos every day. No complaints! : )

Emily is wonderful. She was very patient with my pups, took great photos, and left me a wonderful, funny note. Thank you, Emily for taking care of my loves.

Emily has been such a wonderful part of our routine with our puppy, Heidi! She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We trust her completely she treats Heidi like her own and always goes above and beyond. When Heidi had an accident in her crate one day, Emily didn’t hesitate for a second, she cleaned everything up, made sure Heidi was comfortable and calm, and handled the situation with so much kindness and professionalism. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’re so grateful to have found Emily and can’t recommend her enough!

I work two 24 hour shifts a week. So the other five days I have a lot of free time to share with other fur babies while their families are away.

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home. If I leave the house they are crated. My door is never open unless my puppy pal is leashed, crated, or in a very focused sit position. They get attention, exercise, play and even enrichment. They are well looked after and given frequent opportunities to use the bathroom. As far as your home. Your family member your rules. Your house your rules. As long as I’m not harming anyone or anything I’m very adaptable and follow instructions well.
