Pet care experience

I truly love all animals and will treat your pet as my own while they are in my care! I have experience house sitting, walking, feeding, playing, and experience with senior pets. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet and give them the love and care they need while you are away!

Emily took wonderful care of Sasha during four daily visits while we were away for a week. They walkied, ate, played, snuggled and obviously had a great time. Emily is a devoted and exceptional caregiver, and we feel so lucky that she also cares for our Sasha on daily walks on a regular basis.

Emily was absolutely amazing! She house sat and took incredible care of our dog while we were away—and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was our first time leaving him, and I was honestly a little nervous, but Emily made the entire process feel easy and worry-free. Her communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and sent us great photos that clearly showed he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It brought us so much peace of mind to see him so comfortable in her care. Emily went above and beyond not just with him, but also with taking care of our home. I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!

Information Emily G. would like to know about your pet

Instructions for their feeding schedules, medications, and regular potty schedules are always welcomed and important. I prefer to have any emergency care contacts provided ahead of time too. I also enjoy learning about your pet’s personality so that I know what they do or don’t like when it comes to petting, toys, activity, etc!
