Pet care experience

Your pet's favorite person 🐕🐈🩷

🐾 Where tails wag, paws play, and dogs enjoy their own little vacation! Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve always had a strong connection with animals and take time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort level. Dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. I have a yard where pups can safely run, explore, and sniff to their heart’s content. We go on walks tailored to their energy level, play fetch 🎾, practice basic training and commands, and enjoy interactive toys and mental stimulation games. On warm days, dogs can cool off in a kiddie pool or splash around with the hose 💦. My own dog is friendly, well-trained, and comfortable around other dogs, helping create a calm and positive environment. I also offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own home if that’s what they prefer. During visits, I make sure they’re fed, let out, played with, and given plenty of attention and care. Whether I’m boarding, walking, visiting, or house sitting, I focus on patience, consistency, and kindness so every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Our pugs stayed with Emma when our daughter had her baby. We felt at ease with leaving them with her because she was so attentive and caring towards the pugs. She sent us photos and videos of them which we love seeing because they looked like they were having a great time playing with her dog. She also took them on walks. We will definitely be using Emma again!

Emma did am amazing job with my Cinnabun! She kept me updated all throughout the day. I was so skeptical about leaving her because she is only 4 pounds but she assured me that Cinnamon would be fine and she absolutely was. I would definitely recommend her. We even did a meet and greet before hand to ensure Cinnamon and her dog Daisy would play well together and they did! Thanks again Emma! If I am in need again for a sitter, I will definitely call you!

Safety, trust & environment

In your home and mine, I stick to whatever routine your pets already know—meals, treats, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet time. I make sure they feel comfortable and loved, and I keep your home safe and clean while you’re gone. I send lots of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day in my care is structured, fun, and engaging while still keeping a calm, relaxed environment so dogs feel safe and comfortable. Mornings usually start with a potty break and supervised playtime followed by a 20-40 minute walk (depending on the dog’s energy level) to help them burn off energy and start the day balanced. Throughout the day I include supervised play and lots of enrichment activities such as puzzle toys, snuffle mats, treat scavenger hunts, lick mats, basic scent games, and interactive toys to keep their minds active. When the weather allows, we also do fun seasonal activities like playing with the hose, splashing in a kiddie pool, or other safe outdoor games. Dogs also get plenty of rest breaks so they don’t become overstimulated. If requested, I can incorporate training during the day to practice good manners and reinforce positive behaviors. In the evening we wind down with another walk around 20-40 minutes depending on the dog, and for higher-energy dogs I can also include bike rides if requested. My goal is for every dog to have a fun, enriching day while still enjoying a calm and comfortable environment.

Before your dog’s stay, I like to learn a little about them so I can give them the best care possible. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, and energy level, along with any behaviors I should be aware of (such as separation anxiety or leash reactivity). It’s also helpful to know if they are crate trained, how they do around other dogs, and if they have any triggers or fears. Please share any medical needs, allergies, or medications as well. If your dog has favorite toys, treats, or enrichment activities they enjoy, feel free to mention those too! The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is for me to keep their stay fun, safe, and comfortable.
