Emily's Paw-some Care for your pets

Hi! I’m Emily, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family since 2010! Whether it’s a playful puppy, a chill senior dog, or a curious kitty, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. From potty breaks and mealtime to walks and playtime, I make sure your furry family members feel loved and cared for while you're away. I’ve had the joy of working with pets of all ages and energy levels. I truly enjoy my visits with each pet and look forward to the opportunity to work with more. **Please note:** * While my husband is listed on the profile, he only assists occasionally when needed. You'll be working with me directly for your pet’s care. * I am fully insured for your peace of mind. * For safety reasons, I only walk dogs that are well-behaved and comfortable on a leash.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always follow the client’s instructions closely to ensure each pet's safety and comfort. If the yard isn’t fenced, I use a leash at all times. I follow all local leash laws and practice proper leash etiquette during walks. I also encourage the use of a harness or no-slip lead for added control, safety, and comfort while walking. Additionally, I take weather conditions into account—avoiding walks when it’s too hot, too cold, or otherwise unsafe for your pet.

Thank Emily and Gary! You were both very kind to Jane (who can be standoff-ish) and took care of my plants too!

Our first time having Emily check in on our kitties and definitely won’t be the last! She had great communication and sent lots of pictures during each visit. The kitties also loved her! The one that immediately hides until after strangers leave even came out to watch from a distance and the one that usually watches from a distance was climbing on her and demanding pets.

When we need help with our pets, we know that they are in great care with Emily. She watched our cat while we were away and he was well taken care of and had a blast with her -playing games and posing for a photo shoot. Thank you so much!
