If you are looking for your dog's home away from home, look no further. Emily is seriously the best. I am *that* person that views their dog as their child and his care is of the upmost importance to me. We had never left our golden retriever with anyone other than family, but since we moved out of state, that was no longer an option. We had a situation where we had to leave and could not bring our boy with us and it caused us a tremendous amount of stress wondering what we would do. As soon as we met with Emily, I knew she would love and care for him just as we would. She listened to our concerns and understood our worries about leaving him with someone other than family for the first time. She was even on board with us doing a 'trial run' sleepover prior to us leaving to make sure he felt comfortable. Our boy now runs to her front door, walks in her house with his toys, and turns around to look at us like...bye mom and dad, have a good time! He absolutely loves staying with Emily and socializing with other dogs. Emily texted us pictures and updates every single day - she will never truly know how much that was appreciated! He was living his absolute best life playing in her yard, throwing his frisbee, going to the dog parks and even the dog beach! We didn't think he'd want to come home! We live, with traffic, an hour or so from Emily but if she was 5 hours away, I would make the drive...no question about it. She is worth every mile and dollar spent and I highly highly highly recommend her. read more
