Safety, trust & environment

Creating a trusting and safe environment for all pets is my top priority. I understand that every animal has its own personality and comfort levels, which is why I take the time to get to know each pet individually. By providing a calm and welcoming space, I ensure they feel secure and relaxed. Consistent routines, gentle interactions, and clear communication help build trust, allowing pets to feel at ease in their surroundings. I also pay attention to their body language and reactions, making adjustments as needed to ensure their comfort. This approach not only fosters a sense of safety but also encourages pets to engage and explore, leading to a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Information Emelly M. would like to know about your pet

I've dealt with many breeds while working in my past vet and shelter dogs so I am well trained to deal with different temperaments, energy levels and personalities your best bud might have!

A typical day

Walks will happen right around my neighborhood and will happen frequently due to my flexible work from home gig. We will also play with toys that your pet loves and enjoys. If you have more of a couch potato on your hands then that's not a problem either. I love to cuddle on the couch and enjoy a good movie as well.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’ve been an animal lover all my life, with a special soft spot for dogs and cats. My experience includes working at animal shelters and veterinary practices, where I’ve had the pleasure of sitting for numerous clients. Currently, I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide the care and attention your furry friend deserves! With my flexible schedule, frequent potty breaks are no problem. Your dog or cat will always be by my side, receiving all the rubs and cuddles they crave. No part of my home is off-limits, including the furniture, so your pet will feel right at home—whether lounging on the couch or snuggling in bed. I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet’s stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, providing them with the maximum attention they need and deserve. Since I work from home, I’m also very available for house sitting for extended periods, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I also have experience working with dogs that exhibit behavioral issues, including aggression towards other dogs, animals, or strangers. I understand that some pets may need a quieter environment, free from distractions or the presence of young children. I’m well-equipped to provide a safe and comfortable space for these dogs, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need while feeling secure and relaxed. I offer flexible services, including boarding, in-home sitting, and drop-in visits. I can also accommodate dogs that prefer being the only pet, as I understand some fur babies thrive in solitude. Let me give your furry friend a loving and enjoyable experience!

Emelly is fantastic - great with dogs and very responsible given her experience in veterinary offices. She's super familiar with dog behaviors and totally gets the importance of keeping their routines intact. I look forward to working with Emelly in the future again!

Emily is an incredible sitter and we feel lucky to have found her. Our boy is still a puppy and she knew just how to handle him. It’s great to pick him up and see how happy he is and how many fun adventures Emelly has taken him on throughout the day. We really trust Emelly and highly recommend her.

Emelly was available to take care of our Billie Jean on short notice after another sitter canceled last minute. She gave frequent and detailed updates and made sure that Jean had active days. Highly recommend!
