About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as family members’ and neighbors’ dogs, including handling different temperaments. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. In the fall, I may still have limited availability on certain days depending on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your home with care, keeping everything clean, tidy, and organized. I won’t bring anyone over — just me and your pet, focused on keeping them happy and stress-free.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and am the proud dog mom of Bella, my sweet 5-year-old pup. I have experience supporting dogs of all sizes and temperaments—including administering oral medications and even subcutaneous fluids when needed. What sets me apart is the heart I bring to each pet I care for. I have a strong wellness background and lead with calm, nurturing energy. I’ve taught fitness classes for over 15 years, so your pup will get plenty of movement, playtime, and gentle structure. My fiancé, a former Marine, often stays with me, and together we value safety, consistency, and creating a loving environment. Whether your dog needs extra affection, senior support, or a good long walk, I meet them right where they are—with patience, compassion, and respect. Pet care fits beautifully into my weekly routine. I’m available Tuesday through Saturday for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize giving pets the attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it's a morning walk, midday check-in, or extended daytime care, I’ll work with your pet’s needs to keep them happy and safe. I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and safety top of mind. In my home, pets have access to a clean, cozy, and pet-safe environment with space to relax and play. I never leave pets unsupervised outside and follow each owner’s care instructions carefully, including feeding, medication, and routines. I’m also experienced in administering medications and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. Whether in my home or on a walk, your pet’s well-being is my priority.

“Emily is the best! She has been doing weekly walks with my husky and he loves it. She always gives me great reports on how the walk went and let’s me know if anything happened I need to know. This week she let me know he had a few instances of vomiting during the walk and turned out he had an obstruction that required emergency surgery. Without her due diligence I might not have caught it in time. Such a fantastic pet guru!”

About: I have loved animals my entire lifetime. My journey started with horseback riding at the age of 5. I grew up working with horses and doing plenty of barn chores. Fast forward some years and I slowly changed over from horses to dogs!! I always had a family dog, but, once I got my first Siberian Husky 5 years ago- that changed everything! We got our Husky at 8 weeks and unfortunately he was very sick. But, with lots of TLC, he is now a healthy and happy boy! When I got him, I decided to reach out to a local trainer in my town who helped me with obedience training through Ghost’s first year. It taught me so much about the breed and just how spectacular & smart they are. With a breed like a husky, training can be the difference between an unruly dog who destroys your house or a well behaved dog. I’ve learned so much from the breed and dogs in general. I actually prefer my dogs (and animals in general) over most humans lol just kidding…kind of :) I’ve since gotten a second husky pup who is now 2. She followed the same training regimen as my first and is the sweetest, sassiest little girl. I have a lot of experience with puppy training and am a natural animal soother. Animals, especially dogs, tend to gravitate towards me. I think they can sense how much I appreciate them and love them. I continue to learn everything I can about training, different breeds, etc. and recently took a class on the science of dog training. I have some experience with training adult dogs, but, have had much more experience with puppies. My dogs know many commands- I’ll list a few of the basics: heal, walking heal, sit, down, stay, the word “no”, etc. They even press a button to tell me when they want a treat! I have a lot of fun teaching them. Even though they are trained, I continue to test them periodically at home and out of the house to maintain their skills. I have a fenced in yard at home but we still love to go for walks around our road, go for “Sniffari’s”, hikes, dog play dates, etc. I also work closely with my sister, who has her basic training knowledge with adult dogs- so together we are able to take on dogs from puppy age to adult age. I also groom- although I am not licensed to do so, I started grooming family pets years ago. I currently groom 2 golden doodles and 1 schnauzer/poodle mix. I have ever expanding knowledge and patience for days because I truly love my furry friends. My life revolves around my fur babies and I enjoy spending time with all dogs- and maybe even your dog one day if you are reading this til the end :) feel free to inquire more or if you have any questions about anything at all! I currently am taking a summer break from my part time work, so my schedule is flexible. I generally make a lot of time for my dogs and doing dog activities, so, I can easily add another dog into the mix or make time for your dog separate from my own dogs. If Rover goes well, I would love to continue working with dogs as more of a full time role instead of only here and there. Because dogs are such a huge part of my life already, I would love to have Rover work be my main occupation. They say you never work a day in your life if you love what you do, and I truly love working with animals and always have. At home I have a fenced in yard with cameras covering all angles of the outdoor areas. I also have indoor cameras for when I am away (for my own dogs). I have toys for playing inside and outside the house and even though I have a fence I would still watch closely to make sure everything is ok- especially in the beginning when things are new or a dog is coming over for the first time. If your animal is going to be mingling with my own, I would make sure that they are introduced to each other before letting them play together. Because I have two, I would introduce them one by one to your animal to be sure they are comfortable. If for some reason one or both don’t mix, then they can be easily separated. Obviously this will vary depending on if my own dogs are involved or not. My dogs don’t have an aggressive bone in their body, but, huskies sometimes tend to be a bit aloof and socially inept lol so they tend to rub some dogs the wrong way but not in an aggressive manner. They are just a couple of goobers 🙂 but so, so friendly and absolutely love playing with their established doggy friends and meeting new ones! I have never once seen either of my dogs snap, bite, etc to any other dog, EVER. I would still supervise efficiently to ensure all animals safety, no matter what. If I am at your residence- I will listen closely to what you need for your dog and follow those instructions. If there are not exact instructions, I will do my best to ensure the safety and happiness of your dog. Upon meeting new animals I like to get down on their level and let them give me all the sniffs they need to get to know me and maybe even a treat, too! If I feel like the dog is unsure or skiddish, I might spend a little more time giving them attention before going for a walk, etc. because I feel it’s important to establish a relationship prior to going forward.

About: I’ve had one trustworthy client that I’ve known since 2014, I’ve pet sitted so well I graduated to babysitter! I have 4 kittys and 1 puppy that I care for daily with the help of my little brother who lives with me. My first born (fur baby) Nevada is my lifeline and I know if I left her in a strangers care I would want them to treat her like their own child, so i’m here to give the same pet service I would want to receive. I currently work a part time job as a behavioral tech as well as caring for a relative of my close friend in Groton, so tell me what you need from me and we can make this work! In my home I feed 2 kittys at a time so they all have the same amount then I’ll leave two bowls of water for when I go to work as well as a clean litter every 2-3 days. For my puppy I take him on two long walks in the morning and night then in the afternoon I take him to his favorite spot and go back inside. At a clients home I follow instructions given by the pet’s parents and make sure to play with the animals as much as I can to make sure we build a bond

About: I've been working with animals for over 10 years. I love them all! I've done pet sitting for all types of critters over the years...from rabbits and ferrets to chickens, dogs and cats. My goal is to keep them happy while family is away. A happy pet is a stress free pet. Whether it be walks, cuddles on the couch or ball in the yard, we will do what's needed to be content. Having experience in a veterinary setting, I'm also qualified to administer medications to any pets that may require it. I'm the mother of 2 beautiful girls. We presently have 3 rambunctious cats and a guinea pig in our home. We just lost our beloved dog at 17 years of age. We all enjoy crafting and hiking in our spare time.

“Awesome!”
