Pet care experience

Dog sitter plus playmate!

Hi all, my name is Emmy and I was born and raised in the Greater Portland Area, and have provided care for my neighbors for over a decade! I have taken care of every breed with just about every temperament there is. The only caveat this time around is that I have my own fur baby to care for and we are a package deal. He is great with all animals, big, small, playful, or not. We would love to care for and play with your pets while you’re away!

Bee had such a fun time staying with Emmy and Banjo! Emmy sent me daily picture updates, was super responsive and accommodating to changes in my schedule. Bee is a high energy dog and Emmy fulfilled her exercise needs every day, getting her outside to do all of her favorite things. Bee will be excited to visit Emmy and Banjo again the next time I need a sitter!

This was our first time having Emmy dog sit for us and she was amazing! She sent pictures everyday and provided us with updates. We will definitely leave our dog with her the next time we need a sitter. Banjo and MooMoo got along so well. Very happy!

Emmy was an exceptional dog sitter! She was friendly, sent me photo updates, and gave my very active springer spaniel tons of exercise. He feel asleep on the way home so I knew he had a great time, and it’s no easy feat tiring him out. Her dog Banjo was also a sweetie who got along well with my pup. Would 10/10 recommend Emmy!

Emmy & Banjo are the BEST! We had to leave our 13 year old golden for a week and Emmy took such good care of him. She had great communication, updated us frequently, and shared many pictures while we were away. She respected our home and even left it spotless! We are so grateful to Emmy for the care and attention she gave to our pup. It’s hard having to leave your buddy behind and she made sure we felt comforted to leave him in her hands!

As a couple who lives away from family, finding someone reliable to watch the dog has been a challenge. We are so happy to have found Emmy. She took care of our dog as one of her own. She brought him to his favorite places and made sure he got plenty of exercise, care, and love. Emmy did a great job communicating with us and putting our minds to ease. We plan to use Emmy again!

Schedule

I am currently in between jobs so I am able to be with your pet all day, either at your home or mine, minus any errands or outing I might have. I have a pup of my own named Banjo who is a 6 year old Brittany. Is is high energy and requires two long walks a day, which your pup is welcome to join or sit out depending on their energy levels and interest. You tell me what works best for your pup and we’ll make sure they get exactly the right mix of play, exercise, and downtime!

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t have a fenced-in yard but keep a run outside for my dog. We also go to the beach or dog park (Willard, Bug Light, Fort Williams) for at least 1.5 hours every day. If your dog is playful, then they get extra exercise in the house! Pets are allowed on furniture in my house.

Pets

A typical day

I start each and every day with a long play session for Banjo and try to go where there are other dogs so he can socialize. This tires him out for most of the morning and early afternoon so I can get some work done. We have another, shorter play session in the early evening. I live in the Willard area so there are plenty of places to play and explore!

The biggest thing I like to know is what the dog is accustomed to in terms of a daily routine. I strive to match that routine as best as possible, as to not disrupt your schedule, or theirs. I know they are creatures of habit and like to know what's coming. I also need to know if they are okay with other dogs.
