Hi! I'm Emma 🤗 I’m an experienced dog lover who's grown up with dogs my whole life. I work from home and am here most of the time, so your dog will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. My husband, Kyle, and I currently have a playful 4-year-old chocolate lab who is very friendly and adjusts his play style based on the temperament of whatever dog he's with, so he's a great companion for pups of all personalities. I've sat for multiple dogs at once, including pups with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, so I'm comfortable managing group dynamics, separate feeding routines, medication schedules, or specific behavioral needs your dog may have. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. We're an active household and happy to provide daily walks in the local park or around the neighborhood. My home is fully fenced (a secure 6ft fence, spacious yard) with a doggy door, so dogs can move freely between indoors and outdoors on their own schedule. Dogs are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable in the house, but I also have baby gates at the top and bottom of the stairs if needed. I can accommodate a crate. Happy to use yours, or I have a medium-sized crate available to borrow if you'd rather not bring your own. Please note: I have a young child at home, so I'm only able to host dogs who are good with kids. I'm very responsive and flexible with your schedule and needs, and I treat every dog in my care like family, sending regular photo/video updates so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, safe, and loved.
