Safety, trust & environment

I do not take the responsibility and trust of caring for your home and furry children lightly. My goal is to treat your home and pets with the same care, love, and respect I would my own, if not more. Communication is important to me, so please do not hesitate to reach out and express any question, concerns, or desires so that I am able to meet and exceed your expectations when caring for your pets and/or home. I like to keep an open line of communication so that everyone involved feels comfortable and involved with any aspects of care.

Information Emily F. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know a bit about your pets temperament, how they interact with new people or other animals, if they display resource guarding or food aggression, do they experience separation anxiety, etc. I'd also like to know your furry friends vaccination status as to insure the safety of not just your pets but other animals I may come in contact with. Just as importantly I'd also like to know what they like and dislike as I want to make sure my time with them is as enjoyable as possible for your furry friend :)

A typical day

I like to cater my activities planned for your dog or cat depending on what they need and enjoy :). Whether that be running them down at the park, playing laser tag, going for a long or short walk, providing treat puzzles, working on basic training or just snuggles and pets. I believe each of our furry friends are unique and tailor activities accordingly.

Lifetime Animal Lover and Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have loved for and cared for animals my entire life. With my childhood dogs currently back with family while I attended U of M (both of which I deeply miss and face time every day just so I can see and talk to them) I am eager to have the opportunity to care for your furry friend. I have a great deal of experience and understanding caring for a variety of different breeds, from high energy working dogs to low energy lap dogs. I also have experience caring for dogs throughout all life stages, from crate and potty training puppies to comforting sun downing seniors. I am also well familiar about how our furry friends communicate. I genuinely love taking the time to get to know them and their individual quirks, even if they may take some time to warm up. I also recognize that some of our furry rescue friends come with complex trauma and trust issues. Having grown up with rescues who have taken prolonged periods to fully come out of their shells. I understand the patience, care and time it can take for them to feel safe with new people and is something I am quite comfortable navigating.

Emily is an outstanding pet sitter. Super competent, communicative (lots of pictures and notes), and very flexible and accommodating. She handled meds like a pro for our cats and dog and was so easy going about our house being under construction while she was house sitting. Traveling can be stressful when you're worried about if your pets are well cared for, but we didn't worry for a second with Emily taking care of things on the home front.

Wow Emily was amazing! She is responsible, thoughtful, trustworthy, and our little cat loved her. She sent photos daily which helped ease our anxiety while we were away. We will definitely be looking to book Emily for house sitting again in the future!
