Information Emma R. would like to know about your pet

I have the most experience with small to medium sized dogs. I have experience with special diets and eating schedules. I have minimal experience with skin problems and rashes.

Since I work from home full-time I can provide plenty of attention and cuddles to the pet. I live across from Humboldt Park with plenty of dogs and kids. I live nearby a dog park in Logan Square.

Emma took such great care of Billi over the long weekend, and we are so grateful to have found her! She is incredibly kind, friendly, and caring, and we always feel so confident leaving Billi with her. We really appreciate the detailed updates and how attentive she is. This wasn’t the first time Emma has watched Billi, and we would absolutely love to work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Emma was a wonderful sitter for our two Boston terriers! While they are cuddly and chill a good chunk of time, they can be a handful and lots of energy as littermates! Emma was wonderful with them and sent updates regularly. Especially for our one more anxious pup who can have a tougher time with storms and big noises. Communication was great and coordination for everything was easy! We’d definitely use Emma again and recommend her care.

Emma was truly such a wonderful sitter for Billi! We just moved back to Chicago and were a little nervous about finding someone new, especially because Billi can be a bit anxious - but Emma made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She was so caring, attentive, and thoughtful with her, and it was clear Billi felt safe and comfortable right away. Emma sent us tons of updates and photos, which we really appreciated, and Billi looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We feel so lucky to have found Emma and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
