Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable and consistent for every booking. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get the attention, feeding, and interaction they’re used to. Whether it’s quick drop-ins or longer visits, I’m committed to being on time and keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay close attention to their behavior and environment to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and tidy, including maintaining litter boxes and feeding areas. I always make sure doors, windows, and entry points are secure, and I’m mindful about preventing escapes—especially with indoor cats. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at ease and you have complete peace of mind.
Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine, personality, and specific needs. Helpful details include feeding schedule, exercise needs, bathroom routine, and any quirks or preferences that help them feel comfortable. Please let me know about any medical needs, allergies, or medications, as well as any behaviors I should be aware of—such as anxiety, reactivity, or escape tendencies. It’s also great to know how they interact with new people, other animals, and different environments. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, smooth, and stress-free experience that feels familiar for your pet.
A typical day
A typical day is centered around keeping your dog comfortable, active, and sticking to their normal routine. This usually includes feeding at their regular times, refreshing water, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks. I spend quality time with each dog based on their personality and energy level whether that’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. For more active dogs, I include longer walks or interactive play to keep them engaged, while calmer dogs may enjoy slower walks and extra attention. I also keep an eye on their overall well-being, making sure they’re eating, drinking, and behaving normally. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and consistent experience so your dog feels happy and comfortable while you’re away.

Pet care experience
What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like they’re my own, paying close attention to their routine, personality, and comfort. I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require extra care, slower walks, or medication support. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I truly care about making both pets and owners feel at ease.

Reviews
Emily was an absolute joy to have as a housesitter and honorary member of the family while I was away for a brief trip. She took excellent care of my three fur babies and I appreciate the daily messages in photos. I’m looking forward to my next booking with Emily, which is already on the calendar.
