Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets are my family! :)
Hi! I’m Emily 😊 I just graduated from the University of Michigan and recently moved to Dallas. I’d love to take care of your furry family member! Pet sitting was actually my first job, so I’ve been around animals for a long time and I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I have a family dog back home named Hutch (the cutest black lab), and I’ve also cared for cats through house sitting and drop-ins. I’m experienced with sticking to routines, walks/playtime, feeding, litter box care, and giving medication if needed. I’m very attentive and I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own..

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As a dedicated pet sitter caring for pets in their own home, I really prioritize safety, trust, and making your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety first: I’m very careful about home safety. I double-check doors and gates, follow all instructions, and keep an eye out for anything that could be a hazard (especially for curious pets). I also make sure pets are always secure before opening doors and going on walks. Trust + communication: I know leaving your pet can be stressful, so I always keep owners in the loop. I send regular updates with messages and photos/videos, and I’m always reachable if you have questions or want extra check-ins. Routine + comfort: I try to keep everything as normal as possible for your pet, including feeding times, walks/playtime, medication, and their usual routine. Staying in their own home helps pets feel calm and safe, and I do my best to make it an easy transition. Personalized care: Every pet is different, and I take time to learn what yours needs, whether that is a certain routine, a special diet, litter box habits, medications, or just extra attention and patience. Emergency plan: Before you leave, I like to confirm the best way to reach you, your preferred vet (or emergency vet), and an emergency contact just in case. If anything ever seems off, I will always contact you right away and follow your instructions. I will never make big decisions without looping you in. Loving attention: Above everything, your pets will get lots of love, including cuddles, playtime, walks, and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and genuinely love being around them.
Ratings and reviews
Emily was a complete godsend to my pugs and me! I needed care at the last minute, and she was able to meet for a quick rundown of what would be needed while I was out of town and, of course, meet my precious pugs before I left. Not only was she able to make that last-minute meeting possible, but she knew exactly what questions to ask to be fully prepared to provide the best care possible! Her communication and updates were beyond top-notch, and she really went over and beyond for us the entire weekend! (She even went to the lengths of picking up the yard!) My pugs do not feel at ease with many people, which results in them not eating and even drinking while I’m away, but from the moment we met Emily, her energy was exactly what they needed! They felt comfortable eating both days I was away! I am so grateful for her, and she will definitely be the first call I make when planning my next trip!
I could not recommend someone more than Emily. She stayed at my apartment for four nights while caring for my cat Coco, kept everything spotless (including the litter box), and sent me the cutest videos of them playing. Coco was calm and relaxed when I got home, which truly speaks to how loving and responsible Emily is as a pet caregiver.

Schedule
I work full-time Monday–Friday, so I’m currently available for pet care Friday evenings through Sunday. I offer both overnight stays (house sitting) and drop-ins/walks, and I’m a great option for weekend trips, nights away, and quick getaways. During the weekends I’m able to be really attentive to your furry family member. I can spend plenty of time with your pet, keep them on their normal routine, and provide lots of updates so you feel comfortable while you’re away.
