Pet Family

Pet care experience

I started dog sitting in high school and have been watching pets ever since. I have a huge love for cats. It is not often that I get to cat sit but when I do it is complete joy. I have also cared for many pups. Once I cared for a dog for one year while her owner was deployed with the military, I have watched dogs for days and weeks at a time while the owners are on vacations. I care greatly for my pet, an 11 year old cat, she has never missed any opportunity to live her best life and she has always acclimated well to our pet sitting set ups.

Her and her husband took great care of Bruno!! He left happy and seems very comfortable. Bruno gets really nervous around small kids under 6, but he did just fine with her two year old daughter. She followed the instructions that I needed for his care and everything worked out well!!

Emily and her family took great care of D-Rex and were very flexible. They sent us a lot of pictures and kept us updated. So glad we found them in such short notice and they were able to accommodate us.

They took her two Frenchies at the last minute which we really appreciated! They took so good care of them. They were happy to see us, but I think they were sad to leave too. Definitely would use their service again thank you guys so much!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large unfenced yard and live right next to a dog park. We will work closely with your pets needs and routines for functional transition in and out of our care. It is typical for a dog to feel right at home 1-2 days after arriving. That's when they start to play with their toys the most. The pets will have access to the kitchen, dining, and living room areas of our home.

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

I want to know everything about your pet. I cannot wait to hear about the uniqueness of your pets. I have worked closely with Great Danes, Poodles, Huskies, Silky Terrier, and many more. It is important to know how often your pet is use to using the bathroom. Specifically if it is more often than a normal situation or if the pet takes himself outside and is use to frequent visits to the yard.

A typical day

I enjoy listening to a dogs needs for walks, runs, and just playing with a toy or two. We live near a park and will spend a lot of time outside. We ask that your dog comes with a harness. There is not a better option for keeping your dog safely on the leash during our outings together.
