Safety, trust & environment

I have grown up around dogs and spending time with them is one of the most enjoyable things I think a person can do. I am experienced with crate training, training basic commands, and teaching your dog to walk on a leash. If your dog doesn’t need any of that, that is fine too. Whether you just need a quick walk or want me to spend a couple hours with your dog, I will make sure it is the best part of their day!

Pet care experience

Originally from a small town in Texas I was raised on ranch surrounded by animals and I’ve loved every minute of it. Once I moved away I still wanted to keep animals in my life. I have experience fostering animals and caring for senior pets.

Emmalyn was great, she made us feel so comfortable traveling knowing our dogs were so well cared for! She sent so many good pictures and left our place nice and tidy for our return. She was good with the dogs and we could tell they didn’t feel stress in our absence.

I cannot recommend Emmalyn highly enough. For over two years, Emmalyn has cared for our two dogs - one senior dog with an exhaustive medication schedule and one high-energy rescue who takes awhile to warm up to strangers. But Emmalyn handled both with remarkable patience, consistency, and genuine love. Her reliability and attention to detail set her apart. Every walk or drop in came with a photo and note about how the dogs were doing. On long walks she made sure our senior dog, Matches, didn’t over do it. And if our other dog, Archie, was anxious she would always stay until he was calm and comfortable - without being asked. If you’re looking for a pet sitter or dog walker who is trustworthy, attentive, kind and deeply dependable, then Emmalyn is perfect.
