Walks, cuddles & WFH care 💗
PLEASE NOTE: Due to allergies in my home, I can only accept hypoallergenic, non-shedding dogs for boarding and daycare. Unfortunately, I’m unable to make exceptions for shedding dogs. Hi! I’m Emily, a San Francisco-based consultant who works remotely most days, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’ve lived in San Francisco for over 8 years and love taking dogs on walks through the Panhandle, Alamo Square, Golden Gate Park, and other neighborhood favorites. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply curling up on the couch for extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I only care for one dog at a time, allowing me to provide individualized attention and maintain your pup’s normal routine in a calm, low-stress environment. What You Can Expect 🐾 One dog at a time for individualized attention and care 🐾 A remote-work schedule that allows for plenty of company and interaction throughout the day 🐾 Morning and evening walks, plus potty breaks and shorter walks during the workday 🐾 Regular photo updates so you can stay connected while you’re away 🐾 A calm, clean, dog-friendly environment 🐾 Care tailored to your dog’s routine, preferences, and needs For boarding, I welcome well-behaved hypoallergenic, non-shedding dogs into my home and am happy to follow your dog’s usual routines, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, furniture rules, and sleeping arrangements. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I treat every pup like they’re my own. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pup for a meet & greet if it seems like a fit!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Hana had a good time at Emily's. We had a meet and greet prior to the booking and Emily thoroughly reviewed Hana's schedule and care needs. She sent daily pictures and updates and was flexible on the pick up time.
Emily was a wonderful sitter for our dog! She hosted him at her place for a week and provided thorough updates for how each day went. It was reassuring to see photos of him looking happy on walks in the park, trips to the coffee shop, and cozy couch cuddles. Since Emily was around throughout the day, he always had a companion by his side, which made him feel relaxed and right at home.
This is our second time staying with Emily and she is fantastic. Patient, sweet, and very communicative.
Emily was incredible. She was kind and very patient with Winnie. She sent lots of adorable photos and took great care of my pup - can't wait to call her next time!
Emily was super accommodating and helpful. Had to drop zuzu off last minute and she was able to have him over and he seems to have really enjoyed his time with Emily. Would def recommend her for anyone looking!
Emily took great care of our senior pup Jojo. She would send us updates and photos which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her as a dog sitter!

Schedule
I work remotely most days, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I only care for one dog at a time, so your pup receives personalized care and is rarely left alone for extended periods. Dogs in my care enjoy morning and evening walks, potty breaks and shorter walks during the workday, and lots of company while I work from home. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and other routine needs.

Safety, trust & environment
For boarding and daycare, I can only host hypoallergenic, non-shedding dogs due to allergies in my home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only care for one dog at a time, which helps me provide a calm, safe, and personalized environment. For boarding, I provide a clean, dog-friendly home and follow your pup’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, sleeping arrangements, exercise needs, medications, and house rules. Non-shedding dogs are welcome on the furniture if permitted by their owners. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own and will follow any instructions you provide to ensure your pup feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I also provide regular photo updates for peace of mind.
A typical day
A typical day includes morning and evening walks through the Panhandle, Alamo Square, Golden Gate Park, and other neighborhood favorites, along with plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Since I work remotely, your pup will have lots of company while I work from home and can enjoy regular potty breaks and shorter walks between meetings. For active dogs, I’m also happy to go for a jog or run if they’re comfortable and accustomed to it. Whether your pup prefers adventure or lounging on the couch, I’ll tailor the day to their personality, energy level, and routine.
