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.

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!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Hazey seemed very content and well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out again for future needs! It was clear that Emily genuinely loves animals. They took the time to engage with Hazey , ensuring she felt comfortable and happy. Hazey received plenty of playtime and even some cuddles, which really highlighted Emily’s dedication to providing a loving environment.

PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.

Emily is a kind-hearted soul that truly cares deeply about animals. She recently fostered a dog that was set to be put down, and not only did she provide love, care, and a temporary home, but she also took the time and effort to teach the foster dog tricks, help it with leash training, and helped with early puppy potty training. She went on long, daily walks with the foster puppy, was always caring and prioritized its needs, and really gave that little puppy the confidence and opportunity to take steps towards a better life. Beyond this instance, she is also extremely trustworthy, is consistently on time, is quick to respond to texts/calls, and is overall a person that I would trust my dog around.
