Availability

Pet care fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m a nurse and my husband and I have off-set schedules, so one of us is home more often than not. This allows us to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout the day. We already structure our days around caring for our own two dogs, so adding walks, drop-ins, or boarding dogs fits in seamlessly. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines, we’re able to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s needs while keeping a safe, calm, and reliable environment.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own and take the time to understand their routine, personality, and any specific needs before care begins. At home, we provide a clean, calm environment with a secure, fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. Dogs are always supervised, and I’m mindful of introductions to ensure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. I can accommodate crates, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide. As a nurse, I’m very attentive to detail and quick to notice any changes in behavior or health. I also prioritize clear communication, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels at home and you feel confident they’re in good hands.

Information Emma L. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible so I can keep their routine consistent and make them feel comfortable. It’s important for me to know their daily schedule (feeding times, potty routine, sleep habits), energy level, and personality. I also like to understand how they do with other dogs, any triggers or anxieties, and what helps them feel safe. If your dog has any medical needs, medications, allergies, or specific instructions, I’m happy to accommodate and follow directions closely. Knowing their favorite activities, toys, and any training cues or commands they’re used to is also really helpful. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make their experience feel like home and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day is tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs! I love staying active, so for dogs that enjoy getting out, we’re close to both the Riverwalk and Bayshore for longer walks and fresh air. I also offer neighborhood walks and, if appropriate, trips to the dog beach for extra fun and socialization. At home, dogs get plenty of supervised yard time in our secure, fenced-in space to play, explore, or just relax in the sun. For more low-key pups, I’m just as happy to keep things calm with cuddles, lounging, and a relaxed environment. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and cared for—whether that means lots of activity or a more chill day.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover excited to care for your pup like they’re part of my own family. My husband and I share our home with our Boston Terrier and Bulldog, so we’re very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I’m a nurse, and with our off-schedule lifestyle, one of us is home more often than not—so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We both grew up with dogs and have experience watching and caring for several pups over the years. We offer walks, drop-ins, and boarding in a safe, comfortable environment. Our home has a secure, fully fenced-in yard for playtime, and we always prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your dog feels at ease. Whether your pup is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, we’re happy to match their needs. You can count on regular updates and lots of love while you’re away. We’d love to meet your dog and become your go-to sitters!

Emma was great! We met before our trip, and she was wonderful to work with. She was thorough in her updates when visiting our cats. I would happily ask her back to watch our cats.

Emma and her husband were great! Our dog is elderly and has had some health complications and they were so kind and patient with him. We will definitely be working with them in the future!
