As a full-time oncology nurse, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and caring looking after your pets. My nursing schedule changes weekly, but during my time off I enjoy helping fellow pet owners by providing loving, reliable care for their dogs. With years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and family pets, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks while always prioritizing safety with secure leashes and awareness of surroundings. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

From a very early age Emma has been a lover of all animals big and small. Growing up she had rabbits, hamsters, fish, etc., but her favorite animal has always been dogs. Our first family dog basically grew up with Emma and she showed him reliable love and care throughout his 16 years of life. To this day Emma still refers to our newer family dog as her brother and she will frequently make the trip back to her hometown to visit him. While growing up Emma frequently would pet/dog sit and walk dogs for people in our community. Emma for many years had talked about wanting to adopt a dog from the shelter when she was in a place in her life where she could do this, and she recently met this goal when she adopted her dog Ginger.

On numerous occasions, Emma has taken exceptional care of my dog. She has provided a pet-friendly environment for him to stay, has followed his schedules (as an aging dog), and has ensured that he feels safe, comfortable, and happy. At any point in time, if there have been concerns, she has communicated with me. This quality care comes from her experiences taking care of family and neighborhood dogs growing up, as well as her own.
