Information Emilija J. would like to know about your pet

Every pet has their own personality, and I love creating a fun, stress-free experience that fits them. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves to play, or prefers relaxing and getting some quiet company, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and at home while you’re away. To give your pet the best care possible, I like to know a few things ahead of time, like: Feeding schedule and food rules (can they have human food?) Potty habits and any accidents I should watch for Any medications or special needs Crate training details and sleep routines How they do with other dogs or pets Whether they enjoy (and are safe at) dog parks or social outings The more I know, the better I can care for your pet like they’re my own!

A typical day

I’m all about giving your pet the best of both worlds; whether they’re a high-energy pup who loves playtime or a laid-back snuggler who just wants a cozy companion. I tailor each visit to your pet’s personality, making sure they get the perfect mix of fun activity and relaxed hangout time. From tug-of-war and fetch to calm cuddle sessions or just keeping them company while they nap, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away.

Emilija was great! She made sure Ben was comfortable while I was traveling, and I received photos and messages that gave me peace of mind. She was reliable and loves animals! I highly recommend Emilija as a sitter!

I used Emilija for my very anxious around new people dog. He had only ever stayed with a friend of mine before but this friend was not available for an upcoming trip. We did a trial doggy daycare day, and she was great. She understood his anxiety and left him alone until he was ready to warm up to her. By the end of the stay he was sitting on her lap and playing with toys. I will definitely be using her for this upcoming trip and thankfully my anxiety about leaving him is now gone as well! She also communicates well and sends updates which I appreciated!
