Pet care experience
I absolutely love all types of dogs. I have never been without a dog in my life. When I was little, my family had a Black Lab, then a Golden Retriever, and now a very rambunctious 4-year-old German Shepherd. I have always been the primary caretaker of the dogs in my life; feeding them, walking them twice a day, and making sure they got plenty of love and attention. The German Shepherd you see in my profile is my family’s dog, but I have an 11-month-old Golden Retriever of my own named Milo. My partner cares for him when I'm at work, so I'm able to take care of your pets with 100% of my attention! I am most familiar with larger dogs but am no stranger to caring for any size. During the summer of 2016, I lived in a home and cared for a one year old Yellow Lab for 4 weeks for a family that had traveled out of the country. I did the same thing this summer of 2019 with two Australian Shepherds for an entire month. I am a non-traditional student at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and am looking to incorporate dogs into my more active lifestyle. My spring semester schedule has breaks in the middle of each day over lunch, with most of my classes in the late afternoon Monday through Thursday. I work overnights Thursday to Friday and Tuesday evenings at my desk job on campus. I am happy to help with any and all needs you may have involving your dog(s), whether it’s a one-time visit or a repetitive thing! I specialize in overnight stays and have had nothing but positive experiences with all of the pups I’ve encountered. I also have clients outside of Rover where I watch their dogs for extended periods of time. Feel free to reach out as I would be happy to connect!
Reviews
Emma has been taking care of our golden retriever for almost 2 years! Always does a great job, even taking her on walks in the freezing cold winter! Highly recommend Emma for dog sitting!
Emma is an amazing sitter who truly loves animals. She handled my mastiff Giants with ease, and they were sad to see her go. She even cleaned up before leaving! She is also extremely responsive and takes lots of pictures, which made my first stay stress-free.
Emma was amazing with our furbabies! Cannot wait to work with her more!! Thank you so much!
Emma is so awesome with our dog Eliot! He can be such a handful and she totally handled him like a professional. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone!

Information Emma K. would like to know about your pet
Only if you have certain rules or commands that you wish to follow. My dogs in the past have to strictly follow my heels when I walk, but I realize not all dogs are trained to be this way! No preference on breed, though I have the most experience taking care of larger dogs, primarily dogs in the working class.
A typical day
I am familiar with lots of parks to the Lincoln area, but am happy to take suggestions on where your dog enjoys visiting and playing. I can take dogs to local dog parks and play fetch with them. I can even provide basic brushing of your dog if necessary. I’m happy to work on tricks that they are learning as well should they need additional stimulation.
