Protocol Driven Pet Care 🐾

Hi there! I'm Emily and I can't wait to meet your furry family members! I know how important it is to find someone reliable who treats your pets like their own. Following an 8-year professional career as a public health and safety inspector, I have transitioned into providing premium pet care full time. I bring immaculate sanitation, escape prevention protocols, and expert attention to detail to every single visit. To provide you with total peace of mind, I am also fully covered by private commercial pet care insurance, making your pet’s health and safety my absolute highest priority 💕🐾 I’ve spent my entire life around animals of all shapes and sizes, a passion that started with my family’s decades long legacy of breeding and training Labrador Retrievers. Growing up in that environment gave me a deep, intuitive understanding of dog behavior and a special knack for working with puppies. Having also worked professionally in boarding kennels, I understand the language and temperaments of different breeds and the unique needs of animals while they are away from their families. I am an expert at reinforcing the structure and house rules you already have in place, ensuring your pet stays on the right track during our time together. To keep your pets safe from the intense summer heat, I specialize in premium, climate controlled drop-ins, dog walks, and cat care. Whether it’s tailored indoor enrichment, morning neighborhood strolls, shaded backyard potty breaks, or a cozy afternoon of belly rubs, I’m here to make sure your pet feels completely safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

Why Choose Me? Uncompromising Safety: Your home and pets are treated with the utmost respect. I meticulously follow all your specific instructions to the letter, from medication schedules and allergy restrictions to securing locks and gates. Smart & Safe Exercise: I am highly proactive about avoiding the hot pavement during the summer heat! For dogs who love to stroll, I happily offer early morning or late evening walks when the temperatures are safe. During the peak heat of the day, we stick to engaging indoor playtime and quick, shaded backyard potty breaks. Constant Connection: I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies behind! Expect thorough visit summaries and plenty of cute photos straight to your phone so you always know exactly how much fun we are having.

Dog Walking • Aug 13, 2026

Easy to work with, helpful, on time, and responsive. We were going through an adjustment period with a newborn and my pup got a little down and anxious. Walks with Emily helped my pup be happier and get some exercise while was busy with the baby. I am very happy with the service and so is my pup!

So happy Emily could spend time with our pups today for two separate check-ins!! She is punctual and communicative, and she even got snuggles from Nyla! Definitely looking forward to booking with again.

Emily was SO amazing! I could not recommend her enough. She was so patient and gentle with our 7 year old pittie, who can be a bit overwhelming and anxious. Emily sent regular updates and went above and beyond in making sure the house was kept clean and my plants were happy and healthy! She will absolutely be our go-to for all housesitting bookings. Thank you, Emily!!

Schedule

I am currently available all days of the week for drop-ins and house sitting. My availability for busy holiday weekends operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is best to book as soon as possible to ensure your preferred time slots! 🚨 SCHEDULING UPDATE: My dog walking roster is currently at full capacity for the season! I am not accepting new dog walking clients at this time. Drop-In Availability: I am still actively accepting drop-in visits for cats and dogs! Please note that dog drop-ins are designed specifically for fenced yard playtime, feeding, and quick potty breaks. Because my walking routes are fully booked, I cannot accommodate full, leashed neighborhood walks during a standard drop-in visit, but I’d love to come hang out with your pups in their own home or backyard! 🏠 HOUSE SITTING NOTE: I provide dedicated overnight care so your pets enjoy a consistent evening and morning routine while your home remains fully secure. Please note that I do step out in blocks of up to 4 hours during the day to service my routine local clients and check on my own home. Your pets will still receive midday check-ins, walks, and potty breaks in addition to overnight care. This setup is a perfect match for pets who are comfortable with some independent time during the day! 🌿 Complimentary Home & Plant Care: As part of my premium house sitting service, I am meticulous about home security, including managing mail, rotating lights, and operating alarm systems. Additionally, as an experienced plant enthusiast, I am more than happy to provide watering and care for your houseplant collection and yard plants while you are away! 🕣 SHORT-NOTICE POLICY: I pride myself on being reliable and am happy to accommodate requests on short notice to ensure your pets are well cared for. Because these requests require me to adjust my schedule, a convenience fee applies to all bookings made with less than 24 hours notice.

To provide the highest level of care and maintain my strict safety standards, I love to have as much detail as possible before and during our meet-and-greet! Please feel free to share: - Health & Diet: Any food allergies, sensitive stomachs, or specific medication schedules. - Behaviors & Triggers: How they react to strangers, other dogs, loud noises, and whether they have any escape artist tendencies! - House Rules: Any boundaries (like staying off the furniture) or training cues you want me to reinforce while you are away. - Home Logistics: Any tricky locks, sensitive gate latches, or where you keep your preferred cleaning supplies in case of an accident.
