Hello! My name is Emma, and I have been walking, pet sitting, and caring for dogs and cats since I was very young. I now have a dog of my own (3 year old Australian shepherd), and I want to help ensure all pet owners can find the level of care for their pets that I expect when I have to leave my pet in someone else’s care. Rest assured, I will treat your pet like my own. If boarding at my home, your dog will have access to a large, privacy fenced yard 24 hours a day via a dog door. Every dog that has stayed over night in my home has learned how to use the dog door within the first hour of arriving. If you have a younger dog in training, I will be happy to help you continue that training during your absence. I trained my own puppy from the age of 8 weeks, and I have coached many acquaintances in developing their training routines. I look forward to loving your pet!
