Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, patient sitter
I have 18 years of hands-on dog care experience, beginning with my family’s first dog, who I cared for throughout her life until she passed. I now share my home with two rescue dogs and have also fostered a shelter-rescued dog for 3 months who got adopted last year. Beyond my own pets, I have cared for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and previously worked part-time for a pet services company as a professional pet sitter and dog walker. I am comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and communication style. My approach is never one-size-fits-all: I take time to get to know each pet, respect their signals and boundaries, and build trust at their pace. I also prioritize clear, reliable communication so owners feel informed and reassured while they are away.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe trust starts before the booking. I like to meet pets first, learn their routine, and understand what helps them feel comfortable, whether that means giving them space, using treats, playing, taking a slow walk, or simply sitting nearby until they are ready. I pay close attention to body language and never force interaction. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, house rules, comfort items, and any behavior notes. I also keep owners updated with messages, photos, and honest communication so they always know how their pet is doing.
Ratings and reviews
Emily was absolutely fantastic with my big German shepherd. He is reactive to small furry animals and she handled it like a pro by distracting him with treats. Nothing gives me more peace while away than to know my pet is in good hands. She was on time and reliable everyday for my dogs walks for the week I booked her. My dog was very excited when she was there to pick him up for his walk and from that alone I can tell how well she treated my baby.
Emily was so kind and easy going with my dog Bode when I was at work! She sent great pictures and videos and gave in depth reviews. She even brought bode a present for his birthday. Would recommend! ◡̈
Emily is hands-down one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever worked with! She took care of my dog, Coco, while I was away, and I couldn't be more grateful. Emily was super reliable, attentive, and sent wonderful photo updates that gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. It was clear how happy and relaxed Coco was in her care. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving, and responsible sitter or walker, look no further. I will definitely be booking with Emily again!
Emily was awesome! She took the time to ask a lot of thoughtful questions about my dog beforehand, and I really liked that she explained why she was asking them. It made me feel like she genuinely cared about getting to know him and making sure the walk went well. She was super sweet with him, and he seemed comfortable around her right away. She’s also just really easy to talk to and gave me a lot of confidence leaving my dog with her. I’d definitely book with Emily again!
Emily did a great job with taking care of my nervous dog. He was new to the city and she was patient with him and gave him the time he needed to warm up to her and go for the walk.
Emily was amazing with our new rescue dog and really gave us such peace of mind when we had to leave him home. We can't wait to have her back!!

Schedule
I am self-employed and work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I can structure my day around your dog’s usual feeding, potty, walking, play, and rest routine, and I do not leave pets alone for extended periods. I am especially well suited for dogs who benefit from companionship, consistent routines, extra potty breaks, or a calmer home presence during the day.
