When not caring for animals, I work full-time as an elementary art teacher! During the school year, I can only offer walks and drop-in visits. My schedule is very flexible during the summer, and this is when I typically offer house sitting services!

Safety, trust & environment

I am often told that the love I have for my own pets is a little excessive! I firmly believe that pets are family and I go above and beyond for all of the animals I care for. I always ensure that my own pets get lots of high quality food, snacks, cuddles, and playtime-and I would be happy to give that same love and careful attention to your fur-babies.

Information Emily C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medical or behavioral issues, special needs, or if they have issues with other people/animals. This will not change how I see your pet, but rather, how I care for them and meet their individual needs!

A typical day

Any time I spend with your pet will involve lots of love and care from me. I am sure to provide valuable company and playtime--no matter if you have a cat or a dog. Each time I see your pets, I will send a photo with details so that you know exactly how they’re doing! :-)

Pet care experience

Hi there—my name is Emily! I am a life-long animal lover and believe a house is truly not a home without a pet. I am currently a cat mom with two kitties, but I have also grown up with dogs and rodents. Friends, family and repeat clients often trust me with their pet care and I am happy to oblige! Your pet will surely get lots of love and careful attention with me as their sitter.

We booked Emily through Rover.com at the last minute (literally!) when our regular go-to AND back-up fell through. Emily was GREAT! Responsive and professional. Our pets (2 dogs and a cat) were happy and well cared for. Two thumbs up!

Emily has been an outstanding cat-sitter (twice now) for my two boys. She's responsible, communicative, and attentive to the cats' needs. One of my cats is usually pretty timid with strangers, but he warmed up to her right away. She sent me daily messages, pictures, and videos of my boys, which is incredibly reassuring when I'm away from them. Emily is my first choice for future cat-sitting needs!
