Safety, trust & environment

Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if they require any medication or special care. If we are going outside, please let me know how they respond to other dogs, people and other outside stimuli. We’ll go over everything in our meet n greet to make sure your baby is getting the best care!

A typical day

Every pet has their own definition of fun, and an ideal pet sitter is attentive and flexible to their needs! If you have a high energy pup, I’d love to run them and play fetch (that way they’ll be too worn out to eat your couch! 🛋️). For long-loved dogs, we’ll go at their pace, ensuring they stay safe while exploring their neighborhood. Cats are especially sensitive, and I’ll meet your pet where they are! I’d love to twirl a cat wand for them or just snuggle on the couch. I have a gift for getting shy cats to warm up to me, so I’d love to care for your little scared-y cat!

Expert care for pets & plants 🐾🌿

Pet care experience

Your furry and leafy friends are in great hands! I specialize in meticulous care for senior pets and love meeting furry friends of all ages. With hands-on experience tending to an elderly dog and granny cat, I understand the patience and attention to detail required for their well-being. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog or cat! Bonus: As a plant parent of over 50 indoor plants (it’s a problem), I know how hard it can be to find care for your chlorophyll companions 🌵 if you need your green companions cared for alongside your pets, I’ve got you covered!

Emily took excellent care of my cat and I would highly recommend her as a reliable pet-carer. She spent time playing with Seren and sent great photos. Thank you!
