your dog’s best friend

Pet care experience

After 7 years of doing Rover, I finally took the plunge and got a pup of my own! Pepper is a sweet golden retriever who loves making new friends. I grew up with two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, but I have also had experience house and dog sitting for different breeds around the neighborhood (big and small). I also fostered a few high energy puppies in college. I am available to board, drop in for visits/walks, or house sit while you are away, and I love being active with them! I like to go on long walks on some of the local trails and visit dog parks if that’s your speed. I will love on your dog like my own! I have a fenced in back yard, and plenty of green space nearby. I work a hybrid job, and I have flexibility to be home full time on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends. *I also welcome cats with open arms! I grew up with a 13 pound Maine Coon (it was all muscle and fur!!) and I pride myself on winning over even the most ornery of cats.

Emma saved us when we got stuck out of town unexpectedly! She retrieved our dog from our house and kept her overnight after a flight delay left us stranded hundreds of miles away. We trust Emma without exception and always go to her first when we need a sitter.

Emma was a total lifesaver! She was super communicative, and provided many "pupdates" during my pup's weekend stay. I hope to use her again - I would recommend her to a friend :)

Pat had a great first weekend with Emma! Emma followed up with photos updates and was responsive when we checked in with her. Emma treated Pat as if he were one her own. Would highly recommend Emma!

As always, Emma was a great dog sitter for our dog Bunny!

Information Emma D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has boarded before and if they have any food or toy aggression. Also would like to know daily schedule, feeding details, and where they sleep at night!

A typical day

I always make sure to give dogs lots of one on one time on top of play time with my dog. Pepper loves sharing her toys and playing tug.
