Safety, trust & environment

With my kitty, I wash food and water bowls daily and fill his water bowl with filtered water. He tends to shed, so I brush him daily. Before feeding time, we have a 5-10 minute play session, followed by lots of cuddle time! This is what works for Adagio, but of course, every pet is different. I’m here to work with you to put together a visit schedule that leaves your pet happy and secure while you’re away.

Information Emily C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any known behavioral or health issues ahead of time. The more I know, the better I can take care of your furry best friend!

A typical day

Obviously, walks! I won’t stop your furry friend from sniffing - it actually shows that it’s mentally and physically stimulating for them, so they’re happy and tired when you get home!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager and I have an 8 year old orange tabby of my own named Adagio. I’m well versed in caring for animals of all shapes and sizes and I’m also experienced in administering medication if needed. Thank you for your consideration in caring for one (or more) of your most loved family members. ❤️

Emily was great - super responsive and communicative. She managed to lure out a cat that usually just hides under the covers with new people and befriend a very skeptical rescue pup over the course of a weekend. Would definitely recommend and rebook!

As always, when leaving our home & kitties with Emily, both are cared for with a personal touch that puts Emily above any cat sitters we’ve used in the past across the country. Don’t hesitate & hire her now, you won’t be disappointed.

Emily was an outstanding sitter for our two elderly cats. We were gone for an extended period of time and she made sure both were wonderfully cared for in our absence. She was very good with updates, was able to administer medication, and gave ample play time and attention every day. She even left the house super clean in our absence. I recommend her highly. 10/10!

We cannot recommend Emily enough! She watched our cat, Bella, and completely blew us away with her care, thoroughness, and communication. It was so incredibly comforting to see how much genuine affection she showed our girl. Emily didn't just handle the basics; she went above and beyond. She kept up with Bella's precise feeding routine, mixed her wet food with a little water just the way she likes it, and meticulously washed out all her bowls every day. What we loved most was how well Emily understood Bella's vocal, sweet personality. She sent the most heartwarming, detailed updates that let us truly relax while we were away. If you are looking for a sitter who is reliable, deeply caring, and a fantastic communicator, hire Emily. We will absolutely be booking her again! Thank you so much, Emily!
