Emily’s Dog Sitting

05/09/2026

It’s been a little bit since I’ve posted. I hope you all survived the Winter. Summer is just around the corner and that means you should update your list of pet care providers!

— Overnights in the Durham/Freeport/Pownal area, I am able to be more flexible with bookings that run Sunday night through Thursday morning. Booking requests for Thursday through Sunday will be considered on a case by case basis and will depend on the care you are requesting and your location relative to my home.

— Am/Pm Drop-ins potentially as far south as Westbrook/Portland depending on location in relation to Exit 48

— Early evening walks and supper feedings, this works great for households that work second or third shift

— Mid day Saturday walks or play sessions in your backyard, if fenced, extra points if your pet is child friendly and I can bring my two kiddos for some extra love 💕 (4 and 6)

I have always been transparent so I will be honest with you all. At this point in time if your pet requires 24-hour care or companionship I am not the right fit for you. If you work during the day and your pet is used to nightly snuggles then I could be a good match.

LET’S BE CLEAR: These changes are in no way due to preference of care offered. I have always run my business off the model that I will only take a reservation if it’s going to work best for the dog/pet’s current daily schedule and right now I just can’t offer 24-hour care. So please think about the type of schedule you keep before you reach out to me and if it will work for your pet.

There may come a time where I can open up my schedule and trust me you all will be the first to know! Until then, this is what I can offer you. *Please remember that all pets must be on some type of flea/tick treatment tis the season.*

Back with these goof balls in New Gloucester!

If you know me you know I have a very special soft spot for older Brindles. This is the third one that I have made a special connection with, understanding their quirks and their way of loving. Young dogs are fun but there is something that just hits different when snuggling with a senior dog. 💙 Meet Kwoli the newest member of my extended family!

Still need a sitter for this summer? I have openings!

Just a few reminders in regards to becoming a client:

* Dogs must be 2 years or older and potty trained
* Females must be spayed
* Flea and tick season is upon us! In an effort to keep all of my clients and their homes safe, animals must be on some type of prevention treatment
* An in person meet and greet and info/liability packet must be complete before any booking will be accepted. This ensures that all parties are comfortable with the arrangements and expectations of care for your specific animal needs. For this reason last minute bookings will be considered on a case by case basis and are typically reserved for existing clients who have completed this process already.

While I understand that this may seem like a lot of guidelines for booking, the importance of safety and transparency for everyone involved is my top priority next to your satisfaction with my level of care. I am also insured (make sure you ask sitters that you meet) and there are some guidelines that I have to follow per my insurance company!

I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends this summer! -Emily

You can’t beat this handsome face!!!!!! Baxter

New Pit Bull clients tonight and I couldn’t be more excited!!! One Blue nose Baxter and one Red nose Holly. I’m over in the Pineland Farm area this evening so if you live in the neighborhood and need some help with your pets feel free to reach out. Momma was very nervous to leave young Baxter as he is very high strung when you first get home, whereas Holly is an old gal and just wants you to drop an ice cube. Baxter had been nothing but a good boy and they are both currently snuggled up on each side of me on the couch. 🩵
