Safety, trust & environment

My husband and I live in a two story house with stairs and a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to play. Our dogs sleep in kennels at night but one of them can sleep in our bed if the guest dog needs to be kenneled. When boarding over the weekend we can be flexible either staying home full time with a dog, or if the dog is able to be kenneled, it won’t go longer than two hours alone. Would be happy to discuss this with the owner and adjust to their preferences!

Information Emmy D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences. It would be helpful to know your preference of their socialization with other dogs.

A typical day

We have a decent sized backyard so we can play fetch back there or go for walks around the neighborhood! There’s a trail near our house that we walk with our own dogs.

Pets

Lover of walks and pets!!

Pet care experience

My family has had a dog or a cat ever since I can remember. I’ve been responsible for walking, feeding, and playing with my family’s and friend’s pets. My husband and I have been dog parents since June of 2023. We’ve loved every minute of the training, cuddles, and chaos!

Emmy was absolutely amazing with my two large pups. She was prompt to respond to my request and on time for all of the scheduled times. She was super great about sending pictures and a small note for every visit. I have nothing but praise for her care of my doggies. I will definitely use her again!
