Availability

I work from home most days, which means my schedule is flexible for afternoon check-ins, evening visits, and plenty of weekend availability. Whether you need a trustworthy sitter, a dependable dog walker, or someone to pop in and give your pets a little extra attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated! For dogs, that might mean a mix of walks, playtime in the yard, fetch, or practicing simple tricks. For cats, I bring out their playful side with wand toys, and mouses! I also make sure every pets gets quality one-on-one time - whether it’s brushing, playing, or companionship.

Your Pet’s New Best Friend!

Pet care experience

Hi there, I’m Emily - a lifelong animal lover, proud cat owner, and experienced pet caretaker who has truly understands that our furry friends are family. I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and I’ve carried that love of animals into every part of my life. I’ve spent several years volunteering at animal shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments and needs. Whether it’s a shy rescue, an energetic puppy, or a senior cat who wants some gentle company, I know how to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Emily is amazing with my dog Flynn! He can be anxious, but she always puts him right at ease — I couldn’t recommend her more.
