Experienced Dog Lover! Big & Small!
Pet care experience
Hello There! My name is Emma and I am excited to be a part of the Rover community! Follow my Instagram to get some insight into what your dogs stay will be like! @thedogsittercle I have been a dog lover my whole life and have owned and taken care of ALOT of dogs since I was 12. I have experience with large dogs (boxers, golden retrievers, shepards, etc) and I also have experience with smaller dogs (shit tzus, french bulldogs, maltese's etc). What sets me apart from other sitters/walkers is that I treat your pup like they are my own. I love snuggling with your pup and spoiling them with lots of playtime, cuddles, and walks. I live with my husband, Joe, who is an even bigger dog lover than me and would be around to entertain your pup as well! I live in Westlake with a big yard with lots of room for your pup to run! I love helping owners who are looking to better train their pets as well. I have had experience helping medium to larger dogs with leash training. I also am very educated on multiple breeds and I know their different behaviors. I used to read about all the different breeds when I was little and I have seen the differences first hand, so I know how to cater to your specific dog! I do have a few requirements however when it comes to having your dog in my home. 1. Crate trained dogs are required, but I may make exceptions for senior dogs. The reason for this is for safety. Your dog will need to be ok with being crated when we have to leave the home and at bed time. Due to taking care of multiple dogs and having my own, I do not let pups sleep in the bedroom. 2. Your dog must get along with other dogs - I am likely to have other dogs at the house at the same time whether it is daycare or boarding. If you prefer no other dog besides mine to be present, please include this in your message. 3. Your dog must be house trained 4. Your dog must have basic obedience training (sit, stay, down and come unless they are 6 months old or younger) I do like to meet all dogs before accepting a sitting opportunity. This is to make sure not only that your dog is a good fit for my home, but that my dog will respect yours as well and that you feel comfortable. We have a 3 yr old corgi named Norman who would be here as well. He will play if your pup wants to play but will also give them their space when needed. We always make sure to separate the pets when it is feeding time for maximum safety. Overall, I am a huge dog lover with a soft spot for all breeds! Your dog would be in great hands if you chose me to watch them! We are very flexible so your pet will get all the attention they deserve! I have a fenced yard, so your dog will get frequent potty breaks. I also make sure to supervise playtime and keep large dogs and smaller dogs separated. Each dog will get plenty of playtime and rest throughout the day.
Reviews
Emma has been so helpful with us and so great with Sully!!! She has helped us out last minute, given us advice with training (he is a puppy), and always gives him love/takes great care of him! So thankful to have found such a great person to watch Sully :-) Thanks Emma!!
Willow had such an AWESOME time with Emma! She loved playing with all the other dogs and came home one very tired pup! We would definitely recommend Emma!
Emma was fantastic with my dog Leo! She sent us updates and made him feel right at home. Leo loves going to daycare now because of how wonderful Emma is. Reliable, kind & very good with dogs! Highly recommend
Greta was happy for a walk and play and made it possible for a quick get away

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure I use the most precaution and safety with your pup. I have gates and fences around my home to seperate the pups when needed. I also make sure that my front door is blocked off to avoid any escape artists! I also like to put an apple air tag on their collar just in case that way I can track your pup. I don’t allow bones unless the pups are separated and I also supervise all playtime with toys.
Information Emma C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how they are around other animals/how they act on walks so I can be prepared when bringing them out. I would also like to know their temperament and how well trained they are (crate trained, potty trained, good being left alone in the house for a couple hours at a time, etc) and how they are around other dogs in the house and on walks. Also if they have any special needs, dietary restrictions, etc. I prefer dogs to be crate trained if we need to leave the home at anytime.
A typical day
If you are using my boarding services, Your dog would be taken on a walk in the morning and evening. For daycare, I have a large fenced in yard to play in that’s big enough for fetch and just romping around. My corgi, Norman, will also be here the whole time, so your dog will never be bored! I allow the dogs both inside and outside. If weather permits, we will spend most of the time outside.
