Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine - I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on pets throughout the day. Whether it’s scheduled visits or regular walks, I’m already in the rhythm of caring for pets consistently and reliably.

Attentive and gentle pet care giver

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for animals of all kinds my whole life, including my (now passed) 17-year-old dog and my current puppy, Maggie. I understand the needs of both energetic youngsters and gentle seniors, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

Emily has cared for my dog, Stella, several times and has done an amazing job every time! She is communicative and always happy to send photos. She keeps Stella busy, going for walks and hikes and throwing the ball for her in the backyard. Stella always comes home exhausted (in a very good way!) and clearly very well taken care of and loved. I know when I leave my pet with Emily, she'll be safe and happy.

Emily has cared for our dog (Minnie) several times while we were away on vacation. Minnie loves staying with Emily. Emily communicates well, letting us know how Minnie is doing, sent lots of pictures with Minnie on walks or playing in her backyard. Emily is caring and reliable, flexible and very attentive. Minnie only stays with family or Emily!
