Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog lover in Oxford
I love dogs and have experience with very confident pups as well as dogs who need a little space :) I adopted a miniature pinscher (Eddie) 6 years ago, he was very anxious at first and I worked with a trainer to help him build confidence. I previously volunteered to walk dogs at a local shelter, and have looked after puppies, older dogs, as well as large and small breeds.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ll treat your dog as my own - I provide regular outdoor breaks and take them for walks (with lots of sniffs) according to their usual schedule/ needs. I’ll play with them and can provide enrichment activities for more active breeds. I’ll provide pets and attention if/ when they want them and give them space if needed :) I’ll send you updates and pictures of our adventures.
Ratings and reviews
Emma has babysat for Dobby on multiple occasions and always provides great care and updates.
Emma responded quickly to a last minute request (night before the house sit) and took very good care of our puppy. We hope to see her again soon.
Emma is the perfect sitter! Absolutely amazing from the meet & greet to staying with our sometimes zoomie-prome XL pup, came back to a very happy dog & clean house after 4 days away. Thanks so much & hope to see you again soon!x
My dog loves Emma! She's wonderful with him, he's always so pleased and excited to see her when she comes to walk him. Emma is so caring towards the dogs I have seen her with, any dog is going to be lucky to have her time and attention. You dog parents will be able to rest easy knowing your pups are being well looked after and treated like her own. I only wished she still lived close by
Emma is friendly and reliable and I know that when she looks after my Jack Russell Cross, Ben, he is in safe hands. She has a calm approach which Ben really responds to and she always ensures he gets a good walk and carries treats which he loves! Emma is flexible and will go out of her way to help whenever she can. She is fun and caring and is comfortable to work with dogs of all ages and sizes!
Emma is a fantastic dog owner, walker and volunteer. She looks after and trains our dog, an anxious miniature pinscher, with endless patience and care. She regularly connects with dog trainers to increase her knowledge of dog behaviours, training and wellbeing. She has volunteered at dog shelters and has walked a wide range of other dog breeds from Newfoundland Crosses and Bernese Mountains, to Labradors and shelter dogs. She has undertaken training in handling, resource guarding and reactivity, and knows what to do in cases of emergency. I can recommend Emma to anyone looking for a dog walker, sitter or friend!

Schedule
I work from home as an editor for most of the week, with 1-2 days in the office, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I usually like to get out for a run or gym class in the day but please let me know if your dog cannot be left alone and I can stay with them 24/7.
