Dog lover without time for her own

Pet care experience

I grew up with medium-large dogs and my family still has one, though I haven't lived full-time with one in ten years. I absolutely love dogs though and can't wait until I'm in a place in life where I can have one of my own. Over the last few years I have dogsat for friends and neighbors and have really enjoyed having a canine companion for up to a week or so at a time. Thus far I have taken care of dogs aged 1-14, but am willing to care for younger or older dogs. Open to walks, feeding, playing, snuggling, bathing, and anything else needed! I'm a young professional with ability to work at home as needed. Generally around during the weekends if you're looking for the opportunity to take a weekend trip! I'm happy to adjust my schedule to wake up/go to sleep whenever the dog prefers/is used to.

Emma did a great job dog sitting for our golden retriever. She was very communicative. We had too book her last minute and she was very accommodating, which we appreciate! Would recommend to others.

Emma did a fantastic job dog sitting my pup Jimmy. She was friendly, flexible and super communicative while I was away, sending pics and updates daily. My house was spotless and Jimmy was a very happy dog when I got home--I'd definitely book Emma again.

Once again, Emma was excellent! She took great care of our elderly dog, accommodated her odd diet and medication regimen, kept us updated with messages and photos, and left the house as clean as it was when we departed. She's also very personable and kind. We highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I try to treat each home with the level of appreciation and respect I would want my own. I like to "leave it better than I found it" and will do my best to clean up so you can hardly tell anyone was there! I am comfortable giving pets as little or as much space as they are comfortable with, including sleeping on/in the bed if desired. I do not take care of more than one client's pets at a time and would never allow another animal to enter your home.

Information Emma V. would like to know about your pet

What their usual routine is so I can ensure continuity and comfort for them, what they are and are not allowed to do, what their favorite activities are!

A typical day

I'm very close to a greenway trail, so I'll definitely take your dog there if they like long walks. Also happy to run with your dog if that's something they'd enjoy!

I have a flexible work schedule and can work remotely when needed to keep your pet company! When taking care of someone else's pet I generally try to be around as much as possible so they get lots of love when you're away.
