©️Emily's Kernow Pet Services ‘The more I get to know people, the more I understand why Noah only let animals on the ark’ 🤎🤭 Full Public Liability Insurance covering minding, sitting, walking and transport. ✅ DBS checked ✅ Pet First Aid Certified ✅ Aside from owning dogs, cats and small animals most of my life, I have past experience volunteering at a local animal shelter which caters to the needs of a variation of animals - including Goats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and the resident Cats and Dogs. I am totally sympathetic to those that worry about leaving their babies in kennels, I too share this concern and appreciate the anxiety that comes with removing your pet from the comfort of their own home - whilst kennels do tend to be cheaper, can you really guarantee your baby is getting the undivided love and attention that they deserve in their own, familiar environment? Please get in touch if you’d like me to care for them, in their own home, where my attention can solely be focused on them. Rest assured, I will give you regular pup-dates and pictures whilst your pet is in my care. I share my days with two sweet, well-behaved pups: a 14-year-old Border Terrier called Benny and a 7-year-old, rescue Jackapoo named Rosie. The former suffers with skin allergies in the summer and Rosie takes medication for allergies year-round (lucky us!) so I'm truly well informed in caring for dogs that suffer in these areas. Benny has also recently recovered from a Cruciate Ligament operation, which has afforded me a valuable understanding to the needs of our senior fur babies that need to take things a bit slower in their golden years. Thank you and I look forward to meeting your cherished fur-babies!

Safety, trust & environment
When you trust me to care for your dog, you're not just hiring a sitter — you're gaining a reliable, compassionate partner who treats your pet like family. I prioritize your dog’s safety at all times, whether we’re on a walk, playing at home, or sticking to their feeding and medication schedule. With a calm, patient approach and an eye for detail, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment tailored to your dog’s needs and personality. I also keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and any important observations — so you always know how your baby is doing. Trust is earned, and I work hard to build that trust with both you and your pet through consistency, respect, and clear communication. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in capable, caring hands. In general, I like to air on the side of caution with regards to off-lead walks, unless one or more of the following conditions are met - A) the location is secure with no avenues of escape or triggers to encourage bolting - B) it is an area of minimal traffic of other dogs and C) the owner can demonstrate their dog has good recall. This is for the safety of yours and other peoples’ pets. Cornwall is home to many isolated and secure dog walking paddocks, purpose built for our reactive and nervous friends. Please let me know ahead of time if you would like me to take your babies to one of these – fees may apply. I am confident and well versed in catering to larger or more energetic breeds, those with complex, behavioural needs (such as separation anxiety, nervousness and signs of aggression) and those with specific medical requirements (such as food or environmental allergies, age-related degenerative diseases and short nosed breeds) and I am also indoor only/house-cat aware and conscious. In addition to completing my Pet First Aid certification this year, I have also completed various courses in Canine Behaviour, Health and Welfare to broaden my understanding of those in my care and I make sure to be equipped with my pet first aid kit at all times.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you Emily. Professional and reliable. Managed our nervous spaniel no problem, Emily was reassuring and confident with him. Good communication and updates whilst we were away.
This was our first sitting with Emily and hopefully the first of many! Our meet and greet was great and invaluable with our family making a huge fuss of Emily who obviously knows what she's doing! Emily's communication has been excellent, lots of questions and intuitively picking up on specific areas important to us. Emily has been flexible, having to change plans to work around us and kept us informed of progress with lovely pics and comments. House and family all good and happy on our return. Looking forward to future sittings.
Emily was amazing when she came to look after our three dogs — Nate, Ivy, and Parker for a night. From the moment we met Emily, we felt completely at ease. She was warm, friendly, and clearly has a genuine love for animals, which our dogs picked up on straight away. Throughout the evening, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which was so reassuring and really showed how attentive and thoughtful she is. Each of the dogs has their own personality and needs, and Emily handled them all perfectly — giving them plenty of attention, care, and lots of cuddles. We came home to three very happy, relaxed pups and a very tidy house. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely with our dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. She’s truly fantastic! Thanks Emily.
I would give Emily 10 stars if I could! We had to leave our two cats for two weeks and Emily was absolutely the perfect choice! We have a very extroverted cat and one who panics and had stress induced paralysis at meeting strangers from abuse in her early life and from day one Emily was somehow able to bond with both of our girls. She took pictures, videos and gave detailed accounts of all of her visits, she put a smile on our faces every time we heard from her! Our anxious cat seemed to absolutely love Emily, she let her give her a stroke and came out multiple times when Emily got there, our extroverted cat was the exact same and loved her visits! We asked Emily if she could do an extra day after we booked which was incredibly last minute and marked unavailable on her schedule, and despite leaving for Paris the same day, Emily still came and visited our girls to make sure they were okay! Em carried out everything we asked of her and went above and beyond on many occasions, even using some of her own rubbish bags for emptying the litter as we had run out of them ourselves. We will 1000% be asking Emily for her services again if we have to leave for a while! We were so worried about leaving the girls as we had never been away longer than two days before but as soon as Emily followed up with us after her visit we knew we had made the right choice and we had absolutely zero stress during our time away. If anybody is in the same position as us and you’re worried about choosing the right person to take care of your fur babies, Emily should absolutely be your first choice! A massive Thankyou again to you Emily! You are an absolute star 💗⭐
Fantastic, as always! The house is left immaculate, and Buddy is always calm and happy. Great communication throughout. Thank you again for being so reliable and caring xx
Em is one of the best sitters we've ever had after years of using Rover. Peg was in the best hands and was calm and happy with Em during an overnight sit. We received lots of amazing peg content throughout the sit too which is always a bonus! Thank you once again Em, you're the best!

Schedule
I work full-time, Monday – Friday, in the Bodelva area. Annual leave periods will be updated on my calendar accordingly. Weekends are generally free, unless I have been rota’d to cover a Saturday or Sunday - this is usually once a month and in return, I receive a Friday or Monday off in lieu of this. For day-care and housesitting requests that fall on these days, I will be with your fur-babies 24/7. My dog walking availability is 7:30 am – 8:30 am and 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm during the working week. Weekends, etc (if free) can be throughout the day. My drop-in visit availability can be 3 visits a day, Monday- Sunday. During the working week, timings can be as follows – Morning visit (if required) before 9:00 am. Afternoon visit (if required) anywhere from 12:00 pm - 1pm. Evening visit (if required) 5:30 pm onwards. Please let me know if you would like me to feed your fur-babies during these visits - toilet breaks and play are a given! Due to the nature of day-care bookings, these are usually best suited on weekends, annual leave and time off in lieu days. Please contact me to see what can be arranged. My housesitting/’overnight’ sit availability during the working week is largely dependant on whether your pets are permitted to be left for a few hours at a time (only if the booking falls on days during the working week) – on these occasions, timings can be as follows - Morning – breakfast, walkies, etc, before 9:00 am. Afternoon visit – anywhere from 12:00 pm – 1pm, walkies for toilet breaks, play, feeding, etc! Evenings – home all evening and overnight from 5:30pm (can be flexible and earlier depending on work start time) Pets won't be left for any longer then an hour at maximum during housesitting bookings that fall on weekends or annual leave periods. *Please note! * *Due to rising fuel costs, I can generally only offer drop-in visits, walks, weekday housesits and day-care (beyond 1 day or night) within a 5-mile radius of my working location. Exceptions can be made for those who wish to contribute to travel costs. * *Due to licensing, I do not offer boarding or day-care in my own premises! * *I have been stung on a few occasions with parking charges - if your property does not have allocated parking, please understand I may query that you cover this cost* *I offer free meet and greets within a 5-mile radius of my working location. Anything beyond this will incur a fee to cover fuel costs*
