Emily can care for
Availability
I do have a full-time job Monday-Friday, but am available after work (I usually get off some time between 3:30 and 4:30) and would love to beat the rush-hour blues with some furry cuddles! My schedule is also typically flexible on weekends, and I am available most holidays.

About Emily D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As Dorothy once said, there's no place like home! I come to you so that you can have peace of mind that your best friend has the most stress-free time while you're away!
Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet
The more knowledge I have about your baby, the better care I can provide them! So please, make sure you communicate all things good and bad with me: What are their favorite toys/activities/walk spots? Are there any parts of their body that they LOVE or HATE being touched/pet? Do they have any allergies? Are they food aggressive? Aggressive towards other animals on walks? Fearful of loud noises, cars, or children? Mouthy or jumpy when excited? Strong leash pullers? If I can't find them, where are their typical hiding spots? Also, let me know how many and how often you want pictures so that I can leave you BOTH satisfied!
A typical day
I have a lot of exploring to do myself around North Raleigh, and I'd love to take your dog with me! We'll walk on trails, around lakes, and catch some rays while people-watching. Whatever your dog likes, whether it's playing fetch at a dog park or just cuddling on the couch, I'm down! I'm also game to throw mice and other toys for your kitties, or just spoil them with treats if that's more up their alley!

Reviews
Emily is awesome! Reliable, punctual, communicative, and made sure to look extra hard for one of our cats that is particularly shy and likes to hide. I would highly recommend hiring Emily!
Emily took absolutely wonderful care of our fur babies! I was so appreciative of how detail oriented she was and the questions she asked ahead of time to get to know our animals and their routines. I am somewhat of an anxious pet mom, but I felt confident leaving them in Emily’s care and we couldn’t have left them in better hands. She went above and beyond with the actual care of our pets and was very patient even though our dog took her sweet time to go potty in the heavy rain. Our cat also seemed relaxed when we got home, which is impressive since she tends to be a very anxious kitty.
Emily always does a great job!
Emily is fantastic! She is very reliable. We have used her several times to watch our cat. She goes above and beyond. She let's us know when she sees something off. Thank you Emily for all you have done, we really appreciate you.
