Safety, trust & environment

I am dedicated to providing top-notch care for your beloved pets in the comfort of their own home. By choosing in-home pet sitting, you can ensure that your furry friend stays in a familiar environment, reducing stress and anxiety. Here’s how I make sure your pet is well taken care of: Personalized Attention: I tailor my care to meet the unique needs of your pet, whether they require extra playtime, specific feeding schedules, or medication administration. I take the time to understand their routines and preferences to ensure they feel comfortable and loved. Routine Maintenance: I maintain your pet’s daily routine, including feeding, walking, and potty breaks. Consistency is key to keeping pets happy and healthy, and I strive to stick to their regular schedule as closely as possible. Playtime and Exercise: Exercise is essential for a pet's physical and mental well-being. I ensure your pet gets ample playtime and exercise based on their energy level and preferences, whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, or some gentle indoor play. Safety and Comfort: Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I make sure to keep your home secure and follow any specific instructions you provide. I am attentive to any signs of discomfort or distress in your pet and take immediate action to address any issues. Communication: I believe in keeping pet owners informed and at ease. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos of your pet so you can see how they’re doing and stay connected even while you’re away. Respect for Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring it is kept clean and orderly. I adhere to any specific house rules and make sure everything is in place when you return. With my reliable and compassionate care, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I look forward to providing your furry friend with the love and attention they deserve in the comfort of their own home.

Information Emie J. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care for your pet, it’s important for me to know about any special needs, medications, or health conditions they may have. Understanding their daily routine, favorite activities, and any stressors or behavioral traits, like shyness or high energy, helps me tailor my approach to their unique personality. With this information, I can ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

Every day begins with meeting your pet's needs, from feeding and fresh water to potty breaks for dogs or a clean litter box for cats. I stick to their routine to provide consistency and comfort, whether that means a morning walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. Throughout the day, I offer plenty of attention, ensuring your pet feels happy and loved while you're away. For fun, dogs enjoy walks, games of fetch, and puzzle toys to stay active and entertained, while cats love chasing laser pointers, feather wands, or cozy cuddle sessions. I tailor activities to your pet’s personality, making sure they feel safe, enriched, and cared for in their home environment.

Loving and Reliable Dog Sitter!

Pet care experience

I have always been passionate about animals, and my experience in caring for both dogs and cats reflects this love. As a proud pet owner and a weekend volunteer at a local animal shelter, I have gained valuable experience with animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether caring for energetic puppies, gentle senior dogs, playful kittens, or more reserved adult cats, I have the knowledge and skills to meet their individual needs. What sets me apart is my diverse background in caring for both cats and dogs. From potty training puppies and administering medication to providing extra playtime or soothing comfort for cats, I have experience with a variety of care techniques. I am committed to offering dependable, loving care, ensuring that your pets receive the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and providing them with a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while you’re away! I do have a “furry assistant” (my dog Gus) that comes with me for OVERNIGHT House Sitting visits. He is a crate trained, hypoallergenic 7 year old male Shih Tzu and his details can be found on my profile. My furry assistant would only be present in the evenings, and can be separated from your fur babies if needed :)

Emie was great, as always, with my high energy dogs! I always come back to content boys, which is wonderful after a long weekend away. She is careful about following the house rules, and ensures they get a good balance of play time and cuddles. Emie is responsive via messages as well, which is great while you’re traveling! Couldn’t recommend Emie more highly and will definitely be rebooking in the future!
