Do you have a fur child (or fur children) in need of a human buddy for exercise or companionship while you're at work, away, or busy?

"Emily helped me with a 1 year old dog who was blind, found wandering the streets and had severe neurological deficits. Emily was hands on caring, patient and loving to this dog who was so ill. I will always be grateful for her help.
Emily also took care of my cat for several vacations. We never worried about anything. Everything was perfect and she is a great communicator on how your pet is doing. You will never find anyone more loving and responsible to take care of your pet."

"I'm afraid if I tell people how wonderful Emily is with our three dogs, that she will become so busy she won't be able to fit us in! We have come to rely on Emily to house sit and dog-sit our three dogs (2 golden retrievers and 1 cheagle) when we go away, for as little as a weekend and up to 10-12 days. She is incredibly professional, flexible, resilient and accommodating when it comes to holding down the fort on her own while we are gone. We do not worry about the dogs At All being loved and cared for as if we were there ourselves. I HIGHLY recommend Emily, without reservation."

"Frannie’s Nanny since she was a puppy. Emily is reliable, attentive and most of all loving. Highly recommended!!"

"I genuinely experience a deep sense of peace, knowing that Emily takes extraordinary care of my dogs when I'm away. The unpredictability of life can be concerning, but Emily's unwavering dedication ensures my pets' safety and her love and attention to them are truly heartwarming, as if they were her very own. I wholeheartedly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a magical animal caregiver!"
- David W. (Client, 2023 - Present)
"I recently had the pleasure of using Emily for dog sitting while I was away with my family for a weeklong trip, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. We have used Emily previously, but this was the longest we've been gone from our 1 year old puppy, Harvey. From the very start Emily was professional and attentive, asking detailed questions about my dog's routines, diet, and behavior.
During the stay, Emily provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me that Harvey was happy and well taken care of. Harvey always seems excited and eager to see Emily, and never hesitates when we drop him off for his visits. He seems as comfortable staying with Emily as he would be in his own home.
I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for reliable pet care!"

“Emily is a staple in Fergus, the Wee Brave Dog’s, life. My sister and I know, without reservation, that Fergus looks forward to Emily’s daily visits. We cannot believe that Fergus will be three years old in April and Emily has been a part of Fergus’ family since we were blessed to have him in our lives.
There have been weekends and vacations whereby Emily has cared for Fergus full time. It is such a good feeling to know that we can travel worry-free and that he is safe and happy.
Emily is phenomenal – she keeps us informed as to how Fergus is doing with phone calls, texts and photos. Emily is the best and we highly recommend her without reservations.
Thank you Emily for your kindness, compassion and care of Sir Fergus.”
