Attentive walker and pet sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, including being the primary trainer for a puppy. I have cared for pets of friends and neighbors (both house sitting and drop in) over the years. I can administer medicine with the exception of IV/injections. I currently have a senior cat with health issues, so I have firsthand experience with pets that need a little extra help. I am also experienced at running with dogs - but this service depends on the dog and I do not offer it for dog over 70lbs. Please message me if you are interested in this service to discuss further! Whether you need someone to spend a long visit playing with your pet or are just looking for a quick check in, I’m available! You can trust that I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I do my own.

Emily was great! She followed all the instructions I left for checking on my cats. During her drop-in visit, she played with them and sent plenty of pictures. She is moving soon, otherwise I would be a repeat client!

You can count on Emily rain or shine and she is great with our two very active dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

Want to know my least favorite thing about hiring sitters for my pets? When they don’t follow an important instruction or don’t pay attention to what they’re doing (looking at you, dude who closed the cats out of the room with the litter box!) I know the pet peeves (excuse the pun) of being an owner, so I can be trusted as a sitter - lots of pictures and updates (unless you ask not to be disturbed), high attention to detail, and high awareness of safety around other dogs outside. I will only let your pup play with others if you want them to, and only then if the other dog is signaling “friendly.” I do not “pack walk.” Every animal has their own personality and needs, and I look forward to getting to know your pets!

Information Emily F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know: -if your dog is nervous around other dogs or people, and anything that helps them remain calm on walks -any medical needs -your pets’ little peccadilloes so that I can go the extra mile to make them happy

A typical day

I love walking and running in Riverside Park. I love playing fetch with pups (on long leads only) and letting their nose lead the way on exploration walks. I enjoy getting a cat engaged with a toy and showing off their acrobatic skills.
