Nursing Student & Dog Lover

Hi! I am a former teacher and nursing student, who, sadly, does not have a pet at the time. I grew up with family dogs, but haven’t made the commitment to adopt my own yet. So I’m hoping to spend time with some pups here! I have experience with dogs both personally, with past family dogs, and professionally, with past pet sitting jobs. My partner works at home remotely and loves having a furry companion for company until I am home from my day at Queens University! I am an avid walker and runner, so I would be happy to take your dog for a light stroll or an off-road adventure. Some of my favorite pet sitting jobs in the past have been with dogs I have taken for hikes in nearby parks and mountains with me! I grew up with very particular dogs too, who needed a variation of additional care and attention, so I can manage just about any requirements your pup has as well. We have a five year old son who is here Wednesdays and Thursday’s, and alternates weekends here and his other home. He likes to pet dogs and is always proud to tell his classmates about our latest furry resident, but he doesn’t really like to get into a dog’s space. He is pretty happy to give an occasional pet and get back to building Minecraft legos.

The best experience we’ve had with a dog sitter, much better than boarding. We didn’t worry at all when we were away. We will be scheduling again soon!

Emily was amazing! This was are first experience with Rover, and we were more than happy! She was flexible with times and super friendly. She took pictures often, my babies looked so happy and comfortable. I will definitely be contacting her in the future! 100% trustworthy person! She has a good size patio for any type of pet and her place looked organized for play time. Would highly recommend!

Emily was so wonderful with our puppy and we are incredibly grateful! We knew that he was in good hands because he was smiling in every picture that she sent. 😊It was our first time leaving our puppy for the weekend and her regular pictures and updates provided us peace of mind. Thank you, Emily! Would highly recommend her and hope to use her in the future.

Schedule

I’m a student, so I start my day early, around 5 am, to get all of my studying in! My partner works at home and can let dogs out very frequently and give a constant stream of snuggles and love ❤️

Animals that stay with me have free roam of the house—furniture included! Since I do not have a pet, I spend as much time possible with the pups—snuggled up watching tv on the couch together, going on walks, playing.

A typical day

W alive close to McAlpine park, which has great running and walking trails! We love going out there to walk or to watch the ducks. We also love to play with toys in our apartment! A bit of activity and running for everyone!
