Safety, trust & environment

I am great at reading body language in pets so I can tell when they have had enough of playtime or if they are feeling restless. I hope to get to know your pet enough that we can build a bond of trust and love. I will always treat you, your pets and your space with respect and if I can, leave it better than I found it! You can trust me to love your babies as my own!

Information Emma I. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any specific preferences or needs let me know! I am willing to accommodate anything your baby needs from me. Also if your baby likes any specific game or activity I’d love to play that with them. I also would love to know some of the commands you use with them so that they don’t get confused with other commands I may use. I cared for my senior dog in her last years so I understand that accidents happen!

A typical day

I am willing to do all the fun things your dog loves! Like playing games, taking them to the park to snif around, learning new tricks for treats(!), cuddling, going for walks around the block, and more!

No dog too big or small!

Pet care experience

I grew up training and taking care of my Lhasa Apso until she was 16, sadly passing in 2020. I realized I needed a different way to have pets in my life without having my own yet. I also have experience working with bigger breeds as my family all loves dogs. I will love your babies as my own!

Emma was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby boxer while I was away. She responded quickly, was always on time, and was very communicative throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. Bridget was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. I would definitely book with Emma again — highly recommend!

This was our second time using Emma for an out of state vacation week and our first time with her sitting our newly-adopted second dog, and once again Emma was superb. We highly recommend her!

Emma was great! She took such good care of my 12 yr old Shih Tzu. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. I had Emma stay at my house for a long weekend and she left the house very clean. She was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Emma to anyone looking for an in home sitter.
