Safety, trust & environment

I understand the home is a sanctuary for both you and your pets. I prioritize safety, cleanliness and giving your pet the attention it deserves while I’m visiting. I know that every house has different rules their pets abide by and I will uphold those. I love to play and get them active as much as I can but I also adore snuggling up on the couch!

Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet

I’m comfortable with all cat temperaments and special needs. I don’t have experience with behaviour issues or special needs in dogs so I’m only comfortable with friendly and well socialized dogs!

A typical day

Depending on the pet and time I have with them, I love to get them playing in any way I can. With dogs I can let them outside (if there’s a fenced backyard) to run around or play fetch. I will also do walks if I’m house sitting. With cats I love to play with whatever toys they have available - like a stick toy or mice toys!

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life (grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters and a bunny) and learned early on how to care for their unique personalities and needs. Today, I have 4 cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, litter care, and giving plenty of love and attention. I adore cats very much! I grew up caring for a small havanese dog and now I help my parents with their large standard poodle. I’m best suited to caring for well-socialized dogs with stable temperaments. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they were apart of my own family! My goal is to ensure they stay happy and healthy while you're away.

I can’t recommend Emily highly enough! She took such incredible care of my two cats while I was away on vacation, and I came home to two very happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved pets. From the start, Emily was communicative, reliable, and genuinely attentive to their individual personalities and needs. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Everything in my home was just as I left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and truly great with animals, Emily is the one!

Emily is one of the most caring and responsible people I know. She genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like her own, paying close attention to their needs, routines, and comfort. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and communicates well, which gives total peace of mind. Any pet in her care will be safe, happy, and well-loved. I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver
