Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving yours like my own
I've had animals since I could walk. Through childhood I had rabbits, budgie birds, a cat, and always had puppies and/or dogs. I have extensive hands on experience caring for dogs of many sizes, breeds and energy levels. I raised my own German Shepherd puppy from 8 weeks old through adulthood and into her senior years, giving me a strong foundation in puppy training, large-breed exercise and mental stimulation needs, structured routine, and senior dog care. I've also fostered puppies for the last 3 years, gaining experience with early socialization, basic training, potty routines, and helping dogs adjust to new environments. For the last 15+ years, I've provided dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting for community members, friends and family. I'm comfortable with both high-energy dogs and smaller companion dogs, and I feel strongly about the importance to tailor care based on each individual dog. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering various medication, grooming, reinforcing good leash manners, maintaining consistent schedule, and providing attentive in-home care. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and adapting care based on dogs age/needs. They're all so quirky, with their own needs, preferences, and moods! And that's my favorite part :) Having had my own animals, and having been on the other side of looking for a trusted, reliable sitter, I understand how big of a trust it requires and I empathize with you wanting the very best for your pet. I'm genuinely so looking forward to meeting and spending time with your special companion!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As a previous homeowner and longtime pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust somebody to take proper care of your home and to know your pet is being properly cared for. I assure you I will treat your home with care, respect privacy, and will have a small footprint. I will keep things clean and leave it as I found it. I follow all care instructions closely (feeding schedules, medication, routine, and household guidelines. I'm mindful of home quirks like doors, gates, locks, lights and always do a safety check before coming and going. I value the importance of keeping pets in their home turf, their comfortable environment to reduce stress, maintain routines and help them feel safe and cared for while you're away. Communication is important to me, Im very happy to provide regular updates and photos and will always reach out immediately if anything seems out of the ordinary. I'm happy to follow your preferences on frequency of update. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet and home is in safe, reliable hands.
Ratings and reviews
Emilie is your girl for stress-free pet care! She has watched my dog Cauliflower for the past 7 years and has also checked in on my self-sufficient cats. I don’t have to worry about a thing when Cauli is with her. Emilie is an outdoor enthusiast so if your pet needs walking she will happily do so. Emilie is detailed, responsible, compassionate, kind and a true animal lover. Your pet will be in the best care, will be properly exercised and so well loved while you’re out on your adventures. I couldn’t recommend her more!
When I think of Emilie, my first thought is "every dogs best friend!" She's loving, caring, responsible and is always up for an adventure. Especially with a furry pal! Growing up around animals she shines with knowledge and has consistently helped us in sticky situations. We always look forward to seeing Emilie!
Emilie is super amazing!! Due to a health issue Emilie was my dog walker. Her passion for animals is outstanding!! She is so patient, caring, responsible and understanding of you and your fur baby. Thank you Emilie!!
Emilie has provided me with care for my dogs. They always come home well exercised and loved. She is always on time and listens well to our specific instructions. Would continue to use her if she hadn’t travelled to a new province!

Schedule
I work Monday to Friday with a mix of in office and remote days. This allows me to offer reliable morning and evening care on week days, drop ins on select days, and flexible availability on weekends. When house sitting, I stay overnight and provide consistent care before and after work, with the added bonus of daytime availability on remote workdays. In more detail - pet care fits naturally in my routine. I enjoy being outside and exploring which makes daily walks something I genuinely look forward to - especially with a buddy! Im also happy to stay in and cook or craft, giving space for providing calm and attentive companionship to the more low key, relaxed fluffs. Weekends are free game for whatever your pet is up for!
