I have a fully fenced yard, and plenty of pet cameras. My house is set up with pets in mind. And I’ll of course respect your home!

Information Emily F. would like to know about your pet

I have experience working with a wide range of animals and life stages. I am also familiar working with animals who might be people fearful, or people/animal reactive. I’m happy to work with whatever needs your pet has, but please let me know what those needs/concerns/boundaries are so I can do the best job possible.

A typical day

I read the cues from each animal I meet, and engage with them in whatever way feels right. From pets to playing and everything in between, I’m happy to spend time with your pet however feels right for them.

Long time animal lover & nerd

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, so I’m happy to help with all your pet needs. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have experience administering medication to dogs, cats, and even rats! Note: due to some health conditions, I am somewhat limited in my mobility. So, I tend to prefer working with older, smaller, or low-medium energy animals. As long as I am able to exercise your pet safely in your home or your yard, or with relaxed walks, I’m good!

Our cats were very comfortable and happy with Emily - and a nice bonus perk is she took great photos of them! We definitely recommend her and would book with her again!

Emily took great care of our girl! She is clearly an animal lover and was so communicative and attentive with our Violet overnight.
