Dog-lover with time on her hands!
Pet care experience
I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I’m not in the position to become a dog owner at this time but I want to put my extra time to good use, and since I don’t have a dog of my own, I’d like to help out with yours. I walk a lot through Arlington and I always think how much more fun it would be with a canine companion. I’m also happy to dog-sit and house-sit. I live in an apartment with grooming facilities so I’d be happy to give your pooch a bath during their stay. Send me a message or give me a call, I can’t wait to meet your dog!
Reviews
Emma was great with my puppy Hondo and provided regular updates, and am grateful she took such good care of him!
Emma was very easy to work with! She responded quickly and made sure to understand all my dog's needs. My anxious dog had a great day with her! I'd highly recommend Emma for all your pet care needs!
Emma was fantastic. She did an amazing job caring for our senior dog and keeping the house tidy. Her communication and sharing of photos was very appreciated. It was nice knowing our boy was in good hands.
Emma watched our dog Major over Memorial Day weekend and did an incredible job. From our first meeting with her, she was responsible and attentive to detial. She even wrote notes on our care instructions/routine for Major! Throughout the stay she was very thorough with updates and pictures and even kept a running Google doc of their days together! We felt so at ease leaving him with her and I cannot recommend her enough!
About Emma R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I speak with every owner so I understand the expectations when their dog is staying with me. Once I speak with an owner, I provide them a Google Doc detailing their instructions. Owners may edit and add to it. I also use this document as a journal, noting what your pup and I are up to during the day: when they eat, walk, and play, etc. I’ll also send you photos of your pup as often as you’d like! If you don’t want your dog on couches, I can enforce that. If your dog is used to cuddling up on the couch next to you, I welcome that! Safety is also a huge concern of mine. I generally avoid other people and dogs during walks to ensure there’s no chance for a situation. I also won’t take dogs to the dog park or socialize them with other dogs unless instructed to do so by the owner. I treat your dog as if it were my own, looking out for its wellbeing and needs.
