Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer services in my home as I have two cats who prefer to be the only animal occupants! However, in a clients home, I first make sure the client and I are on the same page with the services they are seeking for their pet. I then ensure that I find out the animals personality, its likes and dislikes in terms of play or petting/human interaction, and the proper feeding schedule. My top priority is to make both the client and the pet as comfortable as possible, so finding out these important details will ensure my ability to accomplish that!

Information Emily A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pets preferences! Every animal has their own personality and things they like and dislike. I want to ensure I fit into your daily routine to avoid disruption for the animal.

A typical day

For dogs and cats, stimulating them through play to ensure they get the proper enrichment is my priority! For dogs, taking them on walks, to the dog park (if approved by the owner), or playing with their favorite toys. For cats, using treats, giving pets, and playing with their favorite toys if they prefer that.

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Loving animals is what I do best.

Pet care experience

I have loved and cared for all animals nearly all of my life! I have house-sat and pet watched for neighbors while they were on vacations, always making sure every animal I took care of felt safe in their space with me, comfortable to play or lounge as they see fit, and well fed and hydrated. I have learned that patience and the prioritization of the animals comfort is essential to taking care of them properly, and is something I deeply value!

Emily is a wonderful communicator! I felt comfort going out of town and leaving my Bean Bean with her. She sent pictures and daily updates! Will absolutely book again! 🐶
