Availability
Our schedule is a bit crazy to some but is very reliable. My husband works for the fire department on a rotating schedule of 24 on 48 off. I work Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday// Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday as a rotating schedule as we work in EMS too. Almost always either myself or my husband is home to watch out 2 kids and our own animals. On the rare occasion our shifts line up (once or twice every few weeks) a sitter would come to my home to help with the kids if we are both gone. My availability is very open since my husband is usually home when I am not, and vise versa, your pet will get love around the clock!

Safety, trust & environment
For our home: I have a 9.5 year old black lab golden retriever mix. A 2 year old cat. A 3 year old toddler and a 1 year old baby. We have baby gates to separate the living room from the kitchen and the living room from the hallway/bedrooms, as well as a gate the separate the laundry room from the kitchen.There are multiple barriers able to be used if needed for safety. The gates are wall mounted for increased safety. Since there is almost always an adult home we have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! We have a water bubbler that we have connected to the Alexa so we are able to turn it on and off for pets even if we are not home. We have a few parks around us that are just a short drive away for walks. We have a large metal cage that’s available if needed. We have a very large fenced yard with lots of room for running and exploring! We have cameras around the house in almost every room for security, safety, and to catch funny moments as well as a camera in the front and backyard. One camera is pointed at the dog cage as well for safety. For at your home: I will follow all acceptable and agreed upon rules and care for your pets the way that you tell me too! I will admit that sometimes I run a few minutes late due to having my 2 kids with me! But for short visits (potty breaks) I can keep them in the car if needed!

A typical day
I love to go for walks, near the house (yours or mine) or at a park near by. I enjoy activities such as playing with balls and with other dog toys. I love playing in the yard with the kids and dogs. I can work on helping train for basic commands if you provide examples (and extra compensation) of your preferences in the training or specific instructions. I can provide the animal with experience around small children, other dogs, and cats.

Pet care experience
We are a husband and wife team of animal lovers. My husband and I have 2 small children, 1 dog, and 1 cat. Though I typically run the account my husband is very involved in your pets care and we both love being able to help out others around us and share our love with your pets! I was born into a home full of animals. As a child we had 3 dogs(1medium/2large, 3 cats, and the random array of fish/turtles between me and my 6 siblings. As a teenager we had 2 dog(1small/1medium) and 1 cat. Now as an adult my family and I have 1 dog and 1 cat. I did have a senior (21 years old) cat that passed away in 2023 due to old age. We have a Labrador retriever and a black and white cat . My family and I love animals and helping people. I have cared for my own pets as well as the pets of my family and friends my whole life. I’m sure with detailed instructions I can help care for your furry loved ones!

Reviews
Zoe and cookie had an amazing time with Emma .
Emma and Timothy have watched my dogs two times now and I couldn’t ask for anyone better! My timid German shepherd warmed up to them quickly and my overly excited Shepard Pit mix loves them! Emma and Timothy communicate often and send the cutest pictures! I know my babies are in good hands when I book them.
They were awesome and showed up when I needed them to! Thank you!
Emma and Timothy took very good care of our English Labrador. She takes daily medication, and they had no trouble giving her the pills. They sent pictures and our Gracie always looked very happy!
