I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent attention and care. On my days off, I love being outdoors and frequently walk around my South Park neighborhood, so your dog will get lots of fresh air, movement, and enrichment. I’m available throughout the day to keep your pup’s routine on track and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and fully cared for from morning to night.

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I make sure every pup is walked on a consistent schedule, fed according to their routine, and given plenty of playtime and affection. Because I foster regularly, I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities and energy levels, from high-energy dogs who need lots of activity to shy or slow to warm up pups who need patience and gentle structure. I also prioritize mental stimulation throughout the day through enrichment activities, sniff walks, puzzle toys, and training games to keep your dog engaged and happy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your dog’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me anything that will help me give your dog the best care possible such as their routine, energy level, quirks, triggers, and how they do with other dogs and new people. I’d also love to know any medical needs, feeding instructions, medication schedules, or behaviors you’re working on. The more I know upfront, the more comfortable and happy your pup will be in my care.

A typical day

A typical day includes morning walks around my South Park neighborhood, followed by playtime, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. Throughout the day, I take dogs on sniff walks, practice simple training games, and give them lots of mental stimulation. In the afternoon, we unwind with another walk or outdoor time, depending on your pup’s energy level. Your dog will enjoy a balanced mix of activity, attention, and relaxation to keep them happy, calm, and fulfilled.

Experienced dog owner and foster.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a husky and has since fostered dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently live in South Park, right between Golden Hill, North Park, and Balboa Park, making it easy for me to take your pup on enriching walks through some of San Diego’s best dog friendly neighborhoods. Because I regularly foster, I have extensive experience with: • High energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between • Puppies • Medical fosters: including administering oral meds, topical treatments, and basic care instructions My priority is always your dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether your pup needs structure, slow introductions, extra cuddles, or a calm environment, I take the time to understand their routine so they feel safe while you’re away. I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pup will be treated like family here. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced sitter or walker in South Park / North Park / Golden Hill, I’d love to help care for your dog! I look forward to meeting your pup!

Emily took care of our 3 medium/large dogs and gave us great updates each day, that were very accurate to their personalities and shared adorable pictures of them while we were away! We felt super reassured with Emily and would love to have her watch our pups again! We came home to a clean house and happy dogs!!
