Availability
Pet care is a central part of my daily life, which allows me to provide dependable, attentive care and flexible scheduling for my clients. Whether you need regular walks, drop in visits, overnight care, or last minute coverage, I do my best to accommodate your needs. I intentionally keep my schedule manageable so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and secure from the moment you leave until you return home.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and individual needs so I can provide care that’s both safe and stress free. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, high energy breeds, rescue animals, and mildly reactive dogs, and I always approach new pets with patience, awareness, and respect. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the home as if they were my own. I understand that you’re trusting me with two of your most valuable things your pet and your peace of mind. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Information Emalie R. would like to know about your pet
Before a booking, I’d love to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, behavioral quirks, favorite activities, fears, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. The more I understand your pet, the better I can provide individualized care that matches what they’re used to at home. I believe every pet deserves to be understood as an individual, and I welcome detailed instructions. My goal is to make the transition as seamless and stress free as possible for both you and your pet.
A typical day
No two pets are exactly alike, so I tailor each day to their energy level, personality, and routine. For active dogs, that might mean long walks, play sessions, training reinforcement, enrichment activities, and plenty of exercise. For senior pets or more relaxed companions, it may mean leisurely walks, quiet companionship, and lots of affection. My goal is to create a balanced day filled with physical activity, mental stimulation, structure, and comfort so your pet feels happy, fulfilled, and at home while you’re away.

Pet care experience
Caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s something I’ve spent my entire life around. I grew up helping care for foster dogs and cats on my grandmother’s farm, where I gained early experience with everything from bottle fed kittens to energetic working dogs. Today, I combine that lifelong passion with professional pet care experience through Rover, animal shelter volunteering, and hands on work alongside a local dog trainer. I’ve cared for pets with a wide variety of personalities and needs, including puppies, seniors, rescue animals, high energy breeds, and mildly reactive dogs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal as an individual. Some pets want a hiking buddy, some want a patient friend, and some simply want someone who understands their routine. I pride myself on building trust quickly and creating a calm, positive experience for every pet I meet. When your pet is with me, they’re not just being watched they’re being genuinely cared for by someone who understands animal behavior, values safety, and truly loves what she does.

Reviews
She was sweet, kind, willing to come at all hours like early morning, and did great work with our pup on biting!
Emalie was responsive, respectful and thorough! I would recommend her. Thank you for your help with my pups.
Emalie was a great sitter for our two dogs and two cats. She was very communicative and shared photos of our littles daily. She followed our care instructions and was conscientious of each animals specific needs. We look forward to hiring her again!
Emalie took great care of our dogs, cat, and house. We would definitely use her again.
