Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dogs have any special accommodations or needs! I am happy to accommodate them to make them most comfortable while you are away.

A typical day

I love to be active with pets whether they require multiple walks a day, playing in the home, and at the end of the day snuggling on the couch.

Life-long dog lover

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs since I was eight years old. I've had three dogs in my life time, all three were black labs, but I have cared for more. I like to provide lots of care and affection to the dogs I look after, allowing them a high-level of comfort and care. However, I also understand how important discipline and structure is to a dog. I will always stick to a clients requirements, and like to keep a healthy relationship with them. I am very active and would love going for a walk with your dog (or even a run). I'm also happy to answer any questions and provide updates on how your dog is doing while in my care when requested! I know how much our dogs mean to us (I have had three that I miss more and more everyday), so I hope you find me suitable, and I look forward to hearing from you! Lots of love, Emmy!

Emily was great with our 3 dogs, fish, and bearded dragon while we were away for two weeks! I felt at ease the entirety of our trip with her watching our animals. She kept us updated with pictures and was available if we needed to contact her. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again

Emmy was communicative, friendly, and at ease with Sadie from the beginning. I felt comfortable having Emmy in my home spending time with Sadie and I appreciated her willingness to help me out on short notice. Definitely will be rebooking!

I swear Emmy was Misty's mom in her past life - that is how much she loves her and is comfortable around her- which as an owner, is the best feeling. Emmy has watched Misty for 3 long trips (7+days) and a few other nights and we are always at ease during our time away because of her. She sends pictures, gives us updates if we ask, is comfortable taking her both on and off leash, has given her medications when required, and has had play dates with other friends & dogs, too. Our dog is so comfortable with her that she's always snuggled up to her and even perks up when we say Emmy is coming. Emmy is always our go-to when she is available !
