Safety, trust & environment

I keep an eye on them and my surroundings at all times. They never leave my sight. They will get plenty of exercise and attention.

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any allergies, isn’t very social with other dogs, doesn’t like other human interactions or if they need any meds to make sure I give them the care they need.

A typical day

We will do whatever the dog wants to do. If they are feeling like walking for a few miles, let’s go or if they just want to sit at a park and sun bathe, let’s do it. Your dog will get the enrichment they need while also learning some new tricks.

Your pet will be treated like mine

Pet care experience

I’m a dog mom and have always had dogs growing up. I tend to hover when we go for walks or at the park just because I’m protective. I will protect the babies at all cost. I know more signs to look for and no dog of any size or temperament will scare me away. They all deserve love

Emily took great care of Junie and our home while we were away. She was patient and wonderful with her reactivity. We would definitely book Emily again!

Emily does a great job with Atti! We always come home to a house in at least -if not better- shape then when we left it. Atti boy is good and tuckered out from walks and loves.

Emily was great with Atticus! She left the house in impeccable order, communicated consistently and even cleaned up dog vomit like it was no big deal! We would love to book with Emily again!
