Care for every critter!

I'm Emily (They/Them) - though I prefer to be called Fennel. I've always had a love for animals and have worked with them throughout my life! I have volunteered at various animal rescues, shelters, and zoos and through this gained experience with cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, and insects. I love every sort of critter and it would be my pleasure to care for yours!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I understand every animal is unique! No two people are the same and neither are cats and dogs. My goal is to get to know your animal as an individual and provide them with the care that best suits their needs and personality. I may on occasion make suggestions or in some cases make decisions on the fly as necessary, but in the end you know your animal best and I will do my best to follow the routines you've set forth for them!

Fennel was such a delight- they were super responsive and the dogs were comfortable with them right away. They provided updates through the trip and I came home to a tidy place and happy pups. Highly recommend!!

Fennel was amazing! This was my first time leaving my cat alone for a few days and Fennel did great. They followed all instructions and my cat loved them! I will definitely book Fennel again the next time I vacation!

I had a great experience with Emily! She was punctual, reliable, and followed all of my instructions exactly. She took great care of my cats and made sure everything was done just as I requested, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was dependable and attentive, and I really appreciated knowing my cats were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible cat sitter, and I would happily book her again!

Emily is awesome! I hired her for house sitting 3 cats for a week. She didn't just take care of the cats, which had different feeding schedules and one needing medication. We came home to washed sheets, a tidy house, the mail brought in, and the trash taken out. We didn't ask for any of that! Coming back from a trip to a clean house and happy cats? Amazing. Book Emily. Seriously. We already know we will again. 🐱

Emily was wonderful. She accommodated our extra day with no problem. And our little girl was very well taken care of.

Fennel was caring, communicative & proactive when pet-sitting our cats. They administered daily meds & kept us updated on one cat’s health condition while we were away. Will definitely rebook the next time we go out of town.
