Pet care experience

Hello! I have loved animals all my life. I went to Iowa State University to get a bachelor’s degree in Biology! While at ISU, I was a caretaker at the Insect Zoo, caring for and presenting all sorts of creepy crawlies. I have several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I volunteered at the local humane society for several years! I love learning new things and am always reading up on how to take the best care of my pets as possible. I have raised many kittens from birth and have experience giving medications to senior cats and dogs. I live on a farm now with lots of kitties and chickens! My #1 goal is to ensure the comfort and safety of your pet while you are away.

Emily was very responsive and communicated well. We will most certainly book with her again.

Emily has had pets her whole life and has loved them unconditionally. She has an undeniable passion for the well-being and care of pets. She has experience in all ages of pets and knows how to care for special need pets. She is loving and compassionate to all!! She responsible, hard-working, and prompt. Your pet will be loved as if it’s her own!! I highly recommend her and I would not have any hesitation leaving my pets in her care! It will give you great peace of mind knowing they will be loved in her care!

I currently have one indoor cat, Luna and a puppy named Winston. They are fed twice a day, morning and evening. They get hours of cuddles and play time and always has a clean environment to thrive in. My husband works from home, so they get a ton of attention! We bought a farm in October 2023 and outside we have 14 chickens. By the end of the year we will also have goats! We have almost five acres to run and play on while your pet is here.
