I will follow your instructions, ask plenty of questions about your pet’s routine, and hopefully meet you before you travel. My goal is to create a stress free transition for your pet by keeping things as fun and familiar as possible. If anything unexpected arises, I won’t hesitate to reach out, because I know that’s what I would want for my own pets.

Information Emily A. would like to know about your pet

Food, potty, and sleep routines, medications, any behavioral details like if they’re good with other dogs, kids, etc., favorite walk routes, emergency contact information, and general care preferences.

A typical day

I love being outdoors, so if a pup loves walks or hikes, that’s great! I love playing fetch, puppy and kitty snuggles, and administering treats for good boys and girls.

Responsible, reliable animal lover!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a remote worker, a hobby artist, and an animal lover. I grew up on a small farm with cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, chickens, goats, and even a rescue horse! I wrote my first poem when I was 8 about my dog, Susie, having a litter of pups. Needless to say, animals have always been a big part of my life. I see them as part of the family and I give them the love and attention they deserve. As a pet owner, I understand how difficult it is to leave your fur babies at home, and my goal is to make you feel more at ease knowing that someone responsible, reliable, and responsive is taking the very best care of your pet(s). I recently quit my corporate job at a law firm to start my own consulting company, focus more time on making art, and traveling across the U.S. my goal is to supplement my income as I work to get my business off the ground, and I could think of no better way to do that than doing something I already love—caring for animals. If you’re interested in learning more about me, or have questions about your specific needs, don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s)!

Emily was so nice and communicative. She has a super power because my dog doesn’t love snuggling, but curled right up to her. Will be booking again!
