Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover and
I have always lived with horses, dogs, and cats in my home country, and I would love to continue spending time with pets here as well. I enjoy taking long walks—even in cold weather—and running outdoors, and I would be delighted to have a dog accompany me! I hold a master's degree in veterinary medicine from my home country and have experience caring for both large and small animals. While I periodically travel back to Europe, I am committed to spending quality time with pets when I am in DC, ensuring they get the exercise they need and recommending veterinary care when necessary. As a pet owner, I understand how crucial it is to choose the right pet sitter for the well-being of both pets and their families.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a neighborhood with excellent access to the C.C. Trail and nearby wooded paths. These trails offer shady areas and ample opportunities for exercise, making them ideal for long, enjoyable walks and jogs with the pets. In a client’s home, I follow their specific routines and preferences for pet care, including exercise, feeding, and any special needs. I make sure to use the local trails to provide the pets with the same level of care and activity they would receive in my own home.
Ratings and reviews
Emanuela was incredible! She picked up Luna from our mom's house and took her for generous walks twice a day while we were out of town. She was easy to coordinate with and also took great pictures of her time with Luna. Thank you Emanuela!
Emanuela took great care of Anne Shirley! I’m always a little nervous leaving her with anyone (even my own relatives) but felt super comfortable leaving her with Emanuela. She was quick to respond and provided updates throughout the day while I was at work. Definitely would use again!
Emanuela was great! She took lots of pictures and Kirby loved her.
Emanuela is fantastic with our pup! She and her whole family treat him like they are his own. While staying with Emanuela, Tyco gets a ton of exercise. He is excited when we arrive to her house. Emanuela is very easy to communicate with to arrange drop off/pick up times and sends updates through the day. Highly recommend!
I have known Emanuela for many years and I could not indicate a better person for this role. She is a precise, qualified, trustworthy and animal lover person. In my opinion, I would entrust my dog to her care without any doubt. I canconly say: try it to believe it!
I always felt better about leaving my two Jack Russells when Emanuela was caring for them in Italy. She always kept me up to date on them which provided peace of mind for me. In case of emergencies she always let me pick them up later than I anticipated. Highly recommend her!!!

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily schedule, even though I work part-time. I prioritize creating a structured routine for the pets, ensuring they receive ample attention, exercise, and care. My flexible work hours allow me to accommodate multiple walks, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day.
