Testimonials

"I have been using Dog Tails Canine Services for the past year. I can’t say enough good things about Emily. She is fantastic with my 3 year old pup who is quite anxious. She completely knew how to deal with him and he became comfortable with her almost immediately. My dog is like my kid--it’s so nice to have peace of mind knowing he’s being well taken care of!"

"Our dog Wally is our family’s dearest member and we trust him in Emily’s care entirely whether it’s walking or training sessions. Over time through a routine of walks, Wally and Emily have formed a bond that is so special to see. Wally goes running to the door when Emily arrives every time. Emily takes care to keep Wally safe, shows great judgment, is super reliable, and makes an effort to get to know Wally and form a relationship. She has a thoughtful intake process as well that shows this caring approach asking about your dog’s fears, behaviors, quirks, and things they enjoy. I can’t recommend Emily enough for walking or training and your pup will be so happy too."

"Emily has been great with our dog Milo. Milo is a quirky dog and Emily does a great job when walking him. It’s obvious that Milo loves her because whenever we (Milo and us) see Emily on a walk Milo gets really excited when he sees Emily coming. Milo is usually fairly stoic, but the sight of Emily gets him very excited. Clearly Milo loves Emily! We’d highly recommend Emily for any dog services."

"I was fortunate to find Emily to walk my pup, Sophie, on days when I need to be away from home. Emily is a known and well regarded community member who I often see around town with her own dog or caring for other dogs. She is reliable, trustworthy and compassionate. I highly recommend her services."

"Emily is an essential part of our lives. Anyone who works outside the home, and relies on daily dog-care, understands how important it is to have consistent, reliable, and loving care for your precious furry family member. I was lucky enough to be introduced to Emily through a neighbor, and I am grateful every day for her professionalism, kindness, reliability, and expertise. She has patiently guided my family, equipping us with training techniques for our anxious rescue pup, and providing tools to help us better understand our dog’s behavior. Emily deserves the highest praise, and I recommend her excellent services without hesitation."

"I highly recommend Emily! We trust her with our dog Romeo and entering our home for his walks. She’s organized, communicates clearly and makes the experience from booking to payment feel seamless. She is a fantastic dog trainer, with a consistent, positive reinforcement style."

"Chi was Emily's very first client and grew very fond of her and her dog Phoebe. Having just moved, not knowing anyone and being so stressed trying to figure everything out, Emily was the light through it all. Chi would get so excited when she would hear Emily coming and when we would run into her when I was out walking her myself. Emily always sent me so many pictures and updates, was very prompt, professional, dependable, & very observant and communicative with Chi's behavior. It was such a blessing to have someone who cared so much and let me worry less while I was at work. Emily truly cares about dogs and it really shows. Couldn’t recommend enough!"

"Emily was a huge asset to us last year, when we had a puppy named Theodore, who had a severe genetic disorder. She would come over twice a week to complete Theo's 45 minute physical therapy routine. She was incredibly intuitive, patient, and thorough. Her calm demeanor put our usually hyper puppy at ease. Throughout our time with Theo, it was a huge challenge to find people who were up to the task of working with a special needs dog. But we trusted Emily implicately when he was in her care, both to carry out the usual tasks and to problem solve if any issues came up. She also has a wealth of knowledge, and we tapped her as a resource when we needed advice on anything from nutrition to training. We highly recommend Emily as an animal caregiver in all capacities."

"Emily is a really great dog walker! She is professional, prompt and protective of my dog. You can tell that Emily truly cares about dogs! I consider her more than a dog walker, she is an additional trusted caretaker of my dog! Grace is happier on the days she gets to spend time with Emily! Highly recommend!"
