Pet care experience
Caring for both dogs and cats: I am an experienced Cat Sitter of 20+ years and have gotten to know that, like humans, each individual cat has a different personality. You need to earn their trust and then gain their friendship. Although my specialty is cats, I absolutely love dogs of all breeds. I have been dog sitting for the past nine years and absolutely love it! Dogs are so loving. I do not have a dog in my home, which is why the dogs that I sit have become dear to my heart. Whether it’s stopping by a client’s home to spend time with their dog, staying overnight with the dog in his or her own home, or having the dog over as a guest in my home - every experience that I’ve had caring for a dog or puppy has been excellent. I will gladly House Sit for your cat(s), but due to the nature of cats being territorial, I will not bring another cat into my home for a visit. I feel that it will make the experience uncomfortable for your cat and they do not need the added stress while you are away. If your dog is the type that does not get along with another animal, then I would prefer to care for your dog within your own home. I have made my prices the same for both overnights at your home or mine for this reason. In addition, I will not conduct drop-ins on a puppy or kitten if you will be out of town for longer than 1 day. I will require for your pet to either come spend the night at my house or I can spend the night at yours. I feel that a pet that young should not be left alone for an extended amount of time. My main concern is the comfort of your pet. In addition to working with pets in homes, I have also volunteered at animal shelters in the past where I helped homeless cats and dogs by cleaning up after them and showing them lots of love until they were adopted by their forever families. I was also a foster parent to two large dogs that lived with me for two years before being adopted, so I have experience with dogs of all sizes. Once your dog or cat meets and forms a friendship with me, I will be thrilled to care for them. All of my existing clients are repeat customers whose pets I have looked after for many years. Their pets are used to me, which makes it easier for the pet to remain comfortable while their pet parent is away. I will ensure that their time with me will be as enjoyable and cozy as possible. They will be in good hands.
Reviews
Emely was great to work with, she took very good care of our cat Jingles and kept great communication during the whole process. I will definitely be using her again in the future!!
Emely shows attention to detail and sent photos of the dogs often. We will be booking with her again! I can tell when my dogs are given the tlc they have come to expect and Emely certainly delivered.
Emely is courteous, punctual, friendly, and you can tell she loves pets. She made the whole process of me leaving a dog and a cat so easy, and left my apartment so clean. Best experience.
Emely has sat for my 2 cats on 4 different occasions over the last 18 months. She kept me updated with pictures and even had to give one of them medication, which I know was no easy task. One of my kitties is very shy and hides under the bed when people come to my house and the last time Emely came over to sit, Marci came out from under the bed, walked up to her and meowed and let Emely pet her! If I didn't see the video, I wouldn't have believed it. That told me everything I need to know about Emely! I trust her 100% in my home and caring for my pets when I'm unable to. I wouldn't dream of having anyone else sit for my 'kids'.

I do not currently offer boarding services in my home. However, I will work with you in case of an emergency. Please message me if you find yourself in a situation and can’t find a boarder. My concern is always the comfort and safety of the pet first. No pet is ever left behind if I’m around. We will figure something out.
Information Emely R. would like to know about your pet
I do not discriminate against any breed. I love all dogs and cats! If your pet is required to take medication during the time that they will be in my care, then we will need to meet sometime prior to the service begin date so that you can train me on how to properly administer the medicine. The training session is at no additional charge to you, but is strictly mandatory. I will work with you on a set time.
A typical day
I prefer to walk your dog around an area that he or she is familiar with, which is usually around the client’s home. I have no problem with your dog being in my car if he or she needs to be transported. I will gladly visit a local dog park with your dog as well, but only if he or she is spayed or neutered. Cat walking is available with a cat harness as long as your cat receives flea and tick medication on a regular basis.
