Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Lover | Runner | Undergrad
I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. Everything from labs, adopted mutts, terriers, vizslas, poodles, goldendoodles, big, medium, and small. I have yet to meet a breed that I can't whisper to. While my profile on Rover is new, I have been walking and house-sitting dogs on the side for years, for neighbors in the area and a small network of family friends I've kept up since middle school. Additionally, I am a serious runner and regularly put in 20-30 miles a week. If you have a Vizsla, Greyhound, Weimaraner, or any other high-energy breed that needs a run to blow off some steam, please reach out! I’d love to take them out with me on the trails. Primarily, I serve the West Suburbs, West Loop, and North Side neighborhoods; I currently reside in the Oak Park area, and attend the UIC campus on Harrison and Halsted. Please note: To ensure the absolute best and safest care for your pup, I do require a quick Meet & Greet before accepting any first-time bookings Looking forward to hearing from you.

Safety, trust & environment
I always treat every dog like my own. I make sure they are secure, comfortable, get all the pets and treats they need, and are never alone longer than necessary. You will also receive daily updates along the way, so you'll always know how they're doing.
Ratings and reviews
We've trusted Emmet with our dogs, Blue and Wilson, for the past three years, and I honestly couldn't recommend him more highly. Blue, our standard poodle, is a little high-maintenance and needs a lot of attention, patience, and understanding. Emmet has always been incredibly kind and attentive with him, taking the time to earn his trust and make sure he feels comfortable and cared for. Our other dog, Wilson, is a large senior dog whose needs have changed over the years. What started as long walks gradually became shorter "sniffy walks" to keep him active without overdoing it. Emmet has been wonderful at adapting to Wilson's changing abilities and always puts his well-being first. Beyond being great with dogs, Emmet is responsible, dependable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. We never have to worry when our dogs are in his care because we know they'll be treated like family. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced, Emmet is an absolute 10/10. Any dog would be lucky to have him as their walker or sitter.
Emmet is the best! We have one timid girl and one busy girl and he handles them both with the utmost care. We trust him and would recommend him to anyone.
Emmet is the best - professional, responsive, loves our dogs and takes great care of them and our home when we’re away. We can always count on him and the dogs LOVE him!

Schedule
I am currently in summer school at UIC, and will be in class from 8am to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so your dog would be alone for about 4 hours on those days. Before I leave, they will get a good walk, and when I'm back they'll spend the rest of the day with me doing homework, tutoring, or getting outside for a walk or run.
