Safety, trust & environment

My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.

Information Emily C. would like to know about your pet

I like to screen the owners for communication cues. Its important to me to cater to a pets needs without giving them anxiety or frustrating them with a guessing game. I like to know where and when a pet get their treats, what time they eat, what their favorite toys are, the bathroom schedule, petting rituals, where they like to walk, etc. I want the care of these animals to be seamless and build a trusting, loving bond.

A typical day

I'm happy to do whatever your pet likes to do! If your dog likes to socialize, we can go to a dog park. If your dog likes to get in the water, I know a few shady, nice spots. From walking to running to napping to playing with a toy, I'm adaptable to any pet personality and I'm willing to do it all to please your pet ?

Pet care experience

I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs & cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, chickens, lizards, and a chinchilla. My love for animals is limitless & my goal is to improve the life of every animal I can reach. I am currently taking courses online to sharpen my skills pertaining to grooming, learning different breeds, training, diet & health. I have acquired many different brushes, supplements, flea combs, scissors and other supplies to keep your pet clean & tidy. I keep lots of treats in my kit including cat treats, cat nip, dog treats, calming pheromone spray & highly digestible bones. I enjoy cooking for pets when I can, making it feel more like going to Grandma's house instead of day care 😉 I am very attentive to moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have treated sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections, and followed food regimens. I've been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with the not-so-fun parts. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, toys, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not very busy, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I'm always looking for new spots to walk & hike, making sure your bestie doesn't get bored ☺️ I strive to work with pet parents to provide high standard, seamless care for every animal & your peace of mind. There is nothing I won't do to ensure the safety & happiness of your pet. Frivolous is not in my vocabulary 🫡

Emily was fantastic with our 5 cats for the past week. She took care of everything as described and kept everyone very happy. What started with only 2 cats wanting to hang out at the beginning of the week, ended with Emily winning everyone's trust by the end. Would highly recommend!

Emily is a very trustworthy person and has a calm energy about her. Would absolutely request her services again in the future.

Emily was amazing to my baby while we were out of town for a week. She sent regular updates and pictures and even cooked Jack some special food. She even cleaned the house!!!!! Emily will most definitely be my first contact if I ever need a dog sitter again.
