Information Emma L. would like to know about your pet

I do have 2 kids under 5. They are dog savy as we had a reactive dog previously so understand boundaries but ultimately any dogs would need to be kid friendly. I have multiple areas around the house that dog can retreat and relax in.

A typical day

As I had a previously large breed dog (pitbull cross) I have multiple toys that accommodate big dogs. We have a tether toy in the back for dogs who love tug of war!

Pets make a home 🥰

Pet care experience

Lost my reactive dog in 2025 and looking to open my house to dogs/cats who excel in home boarding. I work from home and miss having a pet during the day. My kids are young but dog smart due to having grown up near a reactive dog. I have worked in dog/cat kennels, volunteered with the BCSPCA, fostered a mamma dog and her 6 puppies when only 1 week old and have developed my reactive dog skills over the past 15+ years. Love all dogs large and small.

Emma was amazing in watching our dog Junebug! Not only did she make sure our dog was fed and taken care of, but she went the extra mile! She took Junebug to the dog park on a regular basis, sent pictures and updates regularly. I can tell my dog was super comfortable with her and her family, and I would highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for a temporary home for your pet while you travel.

Emma is so lovely! She took fantastic care of our big dog and made our weekend trip away much more enjoyable because we knew that our dog was in great hands.
