Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that feels as close to “normal” as possible for your furry family member. In My Home: Pets staying with me become part of the family. I maintain their usual routine—feeding schedules, walks, medication, and playtime—to keep them comfortable and happy. I offer plenty of enrichment, outdoor time, and affection (plus a quiet space for those who just want to relax). With two friendly German Shepherds of my own, social pets often enjoy a little extra playtime and companionship! In Your Home: When I care for pets in their own space, I focus on consistency and comfort. I follow your instructions closely to mirror their routine, minimize stress, and ensure their needs are fully met—whether that means daily walks, litter scooping, cuddles, or quiet check-ins. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is doing great. Either way, your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority.

Information emily b. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any specific accommodations your cat or dog may need—especially if they are seniors, have sensitivities, or require special care. I'm happy to tailor my approach to ensure their comfort and well-being

A typical day

I have two energetic German Shepherds at home who absolutely love to swim. We spend lots of time outdoors together, whether it's playing fetch or taking a dip in the pool. They’ve even made a game out of gently 'rescuing' frogs from the water and bringing them to me—don’t worry, I always make sure the frogs get to safety!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Emily your friendly neighborhood pet whisperer—minus the TV crew. Whether your furball is a couch-loving cat, a fetch-obsessed pup, or a sassy parrot with an attitude, I’ve got the experience, patience, and endless supply of treats to keep them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. With 15+ years of pet-sitting experience and a background in animal care, I specialize in belly rubs, long walks, litter scooping (with a smile), and making pets feel safe and at home—even when their humans aren’t. I treat every pet like family—because they deserve nothing less. When I’m not pet sitting, you’ll find me at the dog park pretending I don’t talk to animals like they talk back (they totally do). Reliable, attentive, and insured—I bring peace of mind to pet parents and tail wags to your best friend. Let’s chat—your pet’s new favorite human is just a message away!
