Animal Lover for Your Fur Kids!

Pet care experience

I love animals and treat your fur babies as though they are my own pets. I have experience with dogs and cats of various temperament, size and medical need and will follow your instructions and wishes as much as possible.

Emily was attentive and very easy to work with over the holidays to take care of our two elderly kitties. We got daily updates to the wellbeing of the girls. When we got home, the kitties acted like "oh you are back" and went on their schedule as normal. No drama. We highly recommend Emily for your pet care.

Emily did a great job checking in on my senior cat! She gave me daily updates, sent pictures, and gave my kitty the attention she needed while my family was away on vacation. She also administered my cat’s thyroid medication without any issues. Emily is friendly, trustworthy, respectful, punctual, and a true-animal lover!

Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet

I'd like fairly detailed information about food needs and things to avoid, any special behavior modifications/training programs you're using and notes about temperament, favorite toys and spots, etc....the more I know the safer & more comfortable your pet will be.

A typical day

I love giving pets the activity & attention they need. Walks (I do ask that you have a harness to keep escape artists safe!) or playtime—I’m a professional tennis ball fetch player at this point:) are always a hit. Am also happy to just sit and cuddle, play indoor games like puzzles or easy fetch---whatever will help your pup feel relaxed and comfortable I'm open to try!

I'm currently on a mid-life career break so, other than when traveling, I’m wide open to love & care for your pets. I don’t stay overnight during house sitting but stop by regularly to check on pets, ensuring they’re happy, healthy & safe.
