Safety, trust & environment

We own our home, with a large, fully fenced back yard. We do have two mini goats who share our back yard. We have three helpful older kiddos 11-16 who enjoy having furry friends visit. I put a Tractive GPS tracker on each dog in our care for added protection and safety. This is not a corrective tool, it only keeps track of location.

Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your pets have any special needs. • Dogs must have low prey drive and be able to get along with goats and the resident cat. • No female dogs in heat, due to come into heat or just finishing a heat cycle. • Unneutered adult dogs will be considered on a case-by-case basis after a successful meet-and-greet. • Dogs should be comfortable in a crate during mealtimes, rest time, and in case of an emergency. • Trustworthy dogs will be free to roam in the home and will be part of the family as much as possible. • We cannot accommodate dogs with moderate to severe separation anxiety or noise anxieties (e.g., thunder or fireworks). • We have a 4’ chain link fence. If your dog is an escape artist, please find a sitter with a fence or system that is more suitable for your dog. • If a dog becomes anxiously destructive, the owner will need to pick them up immediately. I am upfront about my setup and limitations to ensure the best experience for both the dogs and their owners!

A typical day

We typically begin our day at 6:45am with a walk . My two dogs like to come back to eat and nap. A bit later they have a potty break and enjoy playtime in the yard. We take walks in our woods out back, as weather and company permits.

Emily was amazing! She took care of our cat (Fin) last minute and sent updates the entire time that we were on vacation. Highly recommend!

I’ve known Emily close to 20 years. Never met a kinder or more loving person. Great with animals and very trustworthy. She genuinely cares. I have her take care of my babies from time to time…(all 10).

I know Emily to be an individual of great honesty and integrity. Every task that she takes on, she goes the extra mile. She is a very caring individual who loves dogs. Emily will be an excellent dog caregiver for anyone who chooses to use the program. Emily helped to care for my very young golden retriever. She was very helpful in his growth as he was born very, very small only 6 ounces and he struggled in the beginning. Emily was there to help with his progress.
