I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, while also keeping the space clean and secure.

Information Emilie D. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to know their routine, energy level, and personality, including what they enjoy, what makes them nervous, and any quirks or habits. I also need to know about feeding schedules, medical needs or medications, allergies, and any behavioral triggers or rules the owner wants me to follow. This helps me provide safe, comfortable, and personalized care for each pet.

A typical day

Depending on their personality and energy level, I offer walks, playtime with toys, fetch, and enrichment activities like puzzle games or basic training. For more relaxed pets, I’m happy to spend time cuddling and giving them attention. I always tailor activities to what each pet enjoys so they stay happy, stimulated, and comfortable.

Recent graduate animal lover

Pet care experience

I am a recent Smith College graduate and animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Having grown up with pets, I have experience administering medications and providing care tailored to each pet's personality and routine. I have also volunteered at the local animal shelter and worked as a zookeeper, giving me experience with animals of many sizes and personalities. As someone pursuing a career in animal behavior, I am committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away.

Emilie was great! Prompt, responsive, and shared details of each visit. She was great with my cat and brought him out of his shell.
