Enthusiastic animal lover!

Pet care experience

I am an experienced and certified veterinary assistant. I have worked with dogs, cats, and small animals for over eight years now! I currently have 23 pets I book regularly and love every single one of them as if they were my own! I would love to include yours! I have worked in a shelter and a few hospitals. I specialized in behavioral health with animals. I can confidently identify when an animal is in distress, ill, or in need of an emergency visit. If I notice any thing that concerns me, you will be the first to know. I take my pet sitting jobs very seriously. I want you to be extremely comfortable and have the peace of mind that your pet is safe and happy. I love hiking and exploring nature! If you have a pooch that loves the same - I do not mind bringing them along with me. Your pet will become an Instagram model on my pet sitting page and you will receive daily pictures! Questions? Please do not hesitate to message me! If you'd like to see more, feel free to ask about my petsitting social media!

Emily did a great job with our two senior shih tzu pups. She was patient with me and all of my notes around the house, checked in and sent pictures and the dogs were is great shape when we got home from our vacation. We will definitely have Emily sit for us again.

Emily’s petsitting is incredible. She is affordable, easy to communicate with, and my frenchie completely adores her. Our family has happily nicknamed her, “The Animal Whisperer.” Any pet owner would be able to recognize that she has many years of experience! She has even given me successful advice on issues with my pup. Whenever I’m away, I know my fur baby is in great hands. Emily even sends awesome pictures of Scarlett having a blast. In conclusion, Emily is absolutely exceptional, trustworthy, and a wonderful petsitter who DEFINITLEY stands out!!!

I’ve used Emily for years as my dog sitter. She and Mac are like best friends! He is very peculiar with who he chooses to like so I was a bit nervous at first but they had an instant connection. Any time I am traveling, I have Emily stay with make so I know he is safe and secure. I would much rather him stay at my home than inside of a kennel. At home, I know he is getting his medications properly and I get as many pictures as I like.

Emily not only gives my dog, Cooper, the exercise he wants and needs but she also does his nails when they are too long. She ensures Cooper is calm and relaxed and is very careful while cutting nails!
