My partner and I both work from home, so our schedules are super flexible, advanced notice helps us accommodate requests, but we can do my best to work around your schedule. I’m available any day for walks, daycare, and boarding.

Safety, trust & environment
📌Please read here for information on Daycare and Boarding📌 • I have a fenced-in backyard with a screened-in porch, plus security cameras around the perimeter for added safety. • I have a small lab mix who’s very gentle with small dogs and loves following big dogs around. He’s on a strict schedule, fully vaccinated, and both potty and leash trained. • If your dog isn’t comfortable around other dogs, we might not be the best fit for your fur baby and will need to decline the stay. For your pet's health and wellbeing, if they're uncomfortable, we don't want to put them in a situation they can't cope with. But if they can tolerate canine friends, we’re happy to host monitored playtime with plenty of breaks as needed. • For older or less active dogs, I can separate outside time, but I can’t guarantee full separation inside the house for extended periods. That said, my pup takes two naps a day, and they’ll always be supervised when together. • All pets are fed separately and water is, of course, available throughout the day. • If your dog is aggressive towards cats, we ask that you let us know. During warmer months, our cat is more than happy to spend time in the garage (he hates being cold and hates the AC), but during the cooler months he will be inside, and we want to keep him safe. 📢 Please note: To maintain the comfort and morning routine of our own dog and any guests, we ask that drop-off is no earlier than 7:30 AM. This allows the dogs to eat and play before new arrivals, ensuring a smooth transition for your pup and ours. The same is true for pick-up. The goal is to exhaust everyone so they can sleep soundly through the night, a tired dog is a happy dog! For this reason, we ask that pickup is no later than 10PM Sunday-Thursday and 11PM Friday-Saturday. We understand life happens, and we're happy to accommodate, so please reach out if these times don't work for you!

Information Emma C. would like to know about your pet
🌟 How can we help keep your pup comfortable? Please let me know about... Any special circumstances your dog may have: 📝 Training rules, 📝 Feeding routines, 📝 medications, 📝 or specific temperament traits. I’m happy to accommodate their needs to help them feel as comfortable as possible! ⭐️ We never feed dogs off of our own plates, we stick to the food you provide them! ⭐️ We ask that puppies come with a crate for sleeping/napping, this is for their safety! ⭐️ Feel free to bring any comforts of home for your pup, we want them to be happy! ⭐️ To help reenforce good behavior we use training treats (.5 cal each) and homemade treats (made of carrots, peas, liver, oatmeal) to help reenforce good behavior. We love our returning pet parents! I do my best to lock in your rate, so there's no change if prices are increased, but please reach out if you see this isn't the case.
A typical day
⏰ Please read here for information on daily schedules⏰ 📍Our day starts around 7AM, with some backyard time, sniffing, playing with toys, and stretching our legs outside while I enjoy my coffee. After that, it’s breakfast time, and usually followed by a 20-minute morning walk. 📍Pups are then allowed to go back out if they want, or play in the house while we're working. Around lunchtime, we either go for another walk or, if it’s too hot, we cool off in the backyard with a sprinkler or kiddie pool. The yard has plenty of shade and a screened-in porch, and of course, all outdoor time is supervised. 📍Later in the afternoon, usually the pups pass out from all the activity or just some free play around the house while I wrap up work. In the evenings, they have dinner, and we go for a longer walk before we all cuddle up on the couch and call it a day. 📢 Please note: We cannot guarantee your dog will have a walk each day, and this comes down to safety. Our typical walking route is about a mile long, 80% of it is through a neighborhood with no side walks, the remaining 20% is near a somewhat busy street. The reality is if your dog is a nervous walker, uncomfortable walking in a new environment, or an aggressive puller, we may choose not to walk them for their safety. Typically, we prefer the dogs go on two walks per day, but if it puts them at risk, we'll work to burn that energy off in the backyard instead. We just want to be transparent with that expectation, and really appreciate your understanding.

Reviews
Emma and Adam are gems!!! After being with the same sitter for years, I was extremely anxious about leaving my dog with new people. My nerves were all for nothing. Emma kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. My dog had a great time and can’t wait to go back.
My experience was amazing from start to finish. They were very transparent, communicative, attentive, and stayed on top of everything while caring for my dog. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals they work with. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them in the near future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a transparent, reliable, and trustworthy sitter.
Emma & Adam are always incredible with my boys. They get so excited to go there and hang out with their best buddy Patrick.
Emma did an amazing job with my baby, Audemar! She sent detailed updates every day, which kept me completely in the loop and at ease. From our meet & greet, I could already tell that Emma and her husband would be great caretakers. I dropped Audemar off without a single worry, and he had such a great time with their dog too. Thank you again! I will definitely be booking with you in the future!
