Detail-Oriented Pet Love and Care
Pet care experience
I'm attentive, communicative, responsible, and generally enthusiastic about giving your cat or dog the care they deserve when you're away! I'm located in Midtown Manhattan and my specialties are drop-ins, walks, and housesitting. I am a life-long animal person. I grew up with dogs and currently have a cat. I enjoy learning a pet's unique personality, interests, and needs and becoming a new best friend. I love taking pictures and sending updates while I provide pet care; I always want pet owners to feel at ease when they trust me with their babies. My own pet, a cat named Paypal (yes, really- it was her name in the shelter and I just couldn't change it!), is the love of my life. The close bond we have is a big part of why I started offering my services to others. I know how emotionally valuable pets are and how daunting it can be to pick someone to care for them when you can't be there. Always feel free to ask me as many questions you need to feel comfortable.
Reviews
Emily was the ideal pet sitter. We went away for 4 days and she took fantastic care of Waffles. She was a great communicator and sent us frequent picture updates throughout the day everyday. We will definitely be reaching out to Emily again in the future!
Emily always does a great job with my cat Dale. She sends tons of pictures and you can tell he feels really comfortable around her. Thank you Emily!
Emily was amazing from start to finish! She showed up right on time the night before I left, to go over everything. You can tell she loves animals and they love her! She did a great job with my two kitties, Bella and Mia, and would spend a half hour + with them every day, plus send 5-8 photos from her visit! I came home to my apartment exactly how I left it, with two happy kitties inside! I absolutely would recommend Emily and I definitely plan on using her services again in the future!
I was so grateful to have found Emily for my cat Dale! You can tell she truly cares about your animals and provided a lot of updates. Excellent communication. Will book again!

Safety, trust & environment
The health and safety of your pet is my top priority. I make sure pets are fed and hydrated, as well as entertained and stimulated, whether by walks or toys and indoor play. I value keeping both your pet and your home safe. I strive to be the best care provider I can be, and I will always ask and answer any questions that will help provide your pet the experience they deserve.
Information Emily G. would like to know about your pet
For walks: Please let me know any sensory issues, behavioral quirks, how your pet gets along with new people, and how your pet gets along with other pets- I want to know how to keep both your pet and others' safe so I can provide the best experience possible with no altercations. For when I'm caring for your pet in your home: I like to know your pet's specific needs regarding food, play, and anything else that is important to you. In addition to behavioral information, I like to know any spaces/rooms/behavior that are off-limit to your pet. Thank you!
A typical day
I like to take cues from pet owners and pets themselves when it comes to their recreation! I love when a cat parent tells me their cat's favorite toy or a dog's favorite walking route or treat. It's awesome to see a pet thrive in their element!

Availability
I work part-time as a cinema projectionist so I have a lot of time available to care for pets, whether it be housesitting, walks, or drop-in visits. Since I don't have a 9-5 job, weekdays are no busier for me than weekends, and I don't have family outside of the city so I am usually around for Holidays. I keep my calendar updated but since my shifts are only between 4-7 hours long, I will often be able to accommodate a request that falls on a day I have marked as unavailable. Feel free to message me with a request to discuss!
