Availability
When your cat or dog is under my care, they will be loved like one of my own! I work part-time from home with a flexible schedule, so I am available to work with you as needed. With your consent, my two kids have grown up caring for animals and would love to occasionally accompany me, simply for the joy of caring for and playing with your beloved pet.

Safety, trust & environment
Depending on the number of daily visits, water and food bowls will be cleaned and filled. Any yard eliminations will be picked up. Litter boxes will be scooped, bags placed in the trash, and the surrounding area will be swept. The rest of the visit will be spent playing and interacting. If your pet is on the shyer side, I may simply sit nearby and give them the space to feel more comfortable. If your cat is a guest in our home, they will have a private room for themselves. There are multiple cat trees and comfy beds/surfaces to interact with, and a big bright window to curiously gaze out of at various woodsy critters. I will engage at your cat’s comfort level, whether that’s keeping them company while I work and/or playing intentionally throughout the day.

Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors, as well as their likes and dislikes. If I need to administer medication, please include a printed copy of instructions, and the contact information for their veterinarian and your preferred emergency vet.
A typical day
If your pet likes to be engaged in interactive play, I am more than happy to entertain them with their toys. If they prefer solitude, I am happy to sit and work on a hobby alongside them. Extended scratches, pets, and rubs are always complimentary ;)

Pet care experience
Are you looking for a trustworthy feline whisperer and canine connoisseur? An appreciator of toe beans, biscuit kneading, and back scritches? I'm a life-long animal lover! I grew up caring for family and friends' pets, and I currently live with a mixed lab potato and three cats - it's a furry family zoo around here! I am also a foster for a local animal shelter, and have experience caring for all ages and stages - from nursing kittens to geriatric cats & dogs and providing palliative care.

Reviews
We are so lucky that Emily and her family were available to watch our baby kitten, Korry! They provided the best care and gave him so much love and attention. Emily provided plenty of consistent updates which really calmed our nerves since it was our first time boarding him, and Korry looked so happy and playful during his stay. Emily will definitely be our go-to if we ever need cat sitting services in the future!
I'm so glad I found Emily D. on Rover. She takes such wonderful care of my Leo and Luna. Luna is extremely shy but will pop out of hiding to see Emily D.
Emily was the best! I was so grateful she was willing to do a meet and greet with my cat, Whaley, before our trip. She provided detailed daily updates with pictures, which made my trip worry-free. Emily’s responsiveness and thoughtful care made me feel like Whaley was in the best hands possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. She will definitely be our go-to sitter in the future!
Emily was amazing! She gave daily updates and sent pictures of my kitty. She was easy to get in touch with and responded very quickly to any questions I had. Most importantly, my cat seems to be very happy spending time with her. They took very good care of her and were very gentle with Cleo. I will definitely rebook with Emily.
