Pet care experience

I know the neighborhood and like to walk. Your dog can visit local stairways, pocket parks and cool trees. A variety of local organic smells. Yum I grew up with pets and have always had a dog when space allowed. I've also taken care of people's dogs, cats, and houses since I was a kid. (I have impressive plant watering skills too). Currently I have two dogs. A lovely and well trained ten year old Bernese Mountain Dog and a five month old Mixed Mystery that is still learning to ALWAYS be a good boy. Subsequently I've been immersed in puppy care and training for the last three months. Being at home all day allows me time to walk and take care of other dogs. Plus I can always bring one of mine if your dog would like to play :)

Emily is an amazing pet sitter. We have 3 cats, all with different personalities and needs. Emily took care of all of them so well. We came home to happy kitties and during our trip had peace of mind from Emily’s caring, insightful and professional communication. It’s easy to see how much she understands and loves animals and we are excited to have found such a trusted sitter.

Emily was outstanding! We were nervous as we’d never been away from our cats for this long but she put us at ease. Although our cats hid when she came, she still made sure to care for them and even hid treats around the apartment for them to find when they came out. She is also very respectful of your home and takes her shoes off upon entering. Highly recommend!

Emily has been doing drop-ins visits for our chickens for a few years now, and she occasionally house sits our small zoo of dogs, cats and backyard birds. She does an incredible job every time! We feel at ease leaving our pets because of her. She’s even great dealing with our elderly and disabled dog. Would always recommend Emily!
