Highlights
Pet care experience
Lots of Love Guaranteed!
**Inquire directly if you'd like to have your dog a part of your wedding day*** I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and have a deep love for all animals, big or small. I don't currently have a pet but I regularly dog-sit and babysit for friends in the area. With a background in education, I’ve learned the importance of patience and positive reinforcement—qualities that I bring into every interaction with animals. As a passionate pet lover, I plan to pursue dog training certifications soon, so every booking brings me closer to that goal. Cuddles, long walks, and lots of love are guaranteed!

Ratings and reviews
Super helpful for a last minute walking while my husband works long hours! Would definitely recommend :)
Emmily is great! She really cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about pets. She pays attention to detail and is patient. She makes sure my cat eats slowly and gives him the attention and affection he needs! I feel very comfortable leaving my pet knowing she will be cat-sitting him.
Emmily was the best dog walker to my sweet girl! My dog loved her!!
Emmily was very patient with Buster! He can be very shy but she was able to get him to cooperate.
Emmily was lovely! Excellent communicator and helped us with a fairly last minute request. We will definitely utilize her again!
My small dog warmed up to Emmily very quickly and loves going on walks and chilling out at home with her!

Schedule
My best availability is Monday through Thursday since I often travel on weekends. That said, I’m happy to help whenever I’m in town! I work full-time on Main Street, but my flexible schedule allows me to swing by for a walk during lunch—or even more, depending on the day!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I make sure to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, and house rules to keep things consistent and stress-free. Positive reinforcement and plenty of patience guide all of my interactions, ensuring pets feel secure and loved. Whether it's a walk, a cuddle session, or playtime, I strive to make every moment enjoyable for the animals in my care. Additionally, I keep communication open with pet parents, providing updates for peace of mind. Each visit or stay is tailored to the pet's unique needs, ensuring they feel at ease—whether it’s in my care or their own familiar environment.
A typical day
Beyond long walks and endless belly rubs, I love engaging pets with games like fetch, tug-of-war, and puzzles (if available). I’m a big advocate for enrichment, using toys such as Kongs, frozen treats, and activity mats to keep them mentally stimulated. Squeaky toys are welcome, and barking or whining doesn’t faze me at all. However, I’ll address any behaviors appropriately as they arise to ensure a positive and balanced experience for the pet. My goal is to keep pets active, happy, and engaged throughout our time together!
