Happiness is a wagging tail

Pet care experience

I have an associates degree in animal science, and have since continued my education with online seminars and other programs. I managed a kennel in MA for years called Boston Canine where we host boarding, daycare, grooming, and obedience training. I also volunteered at MSPCA in Jamaica Plain, MA caring for the adoptable dogs there through the safe walk program. I moved to New Orleans to help rescue dogs where I volunteer and work now at Villalobos Rescue Center caring for pit bulls and other breeds. I also worked for a short while at a kennel uptown for mainly boarding and daycare for dogs. I do not discriminate against any breeds or behaviors, and have experience with dogs who enjoy other dogs and dogs who don’t.

Emily is just the best. This was my second time using her as a cat sitter and im so grateful she was available! My air conditioning went out (in late August, no less) the night before I was leaving for a long wknd, but she did such a great job ensuring my cats were cool and comfortable, even bringing over a huge fan to help cool off the apartment. She is extremely reliable and I came home to two very happy, peaceful kitties. can’t recommend her highly enough

Another great job by Emily. I was scrambling around before my trip and did a terrible job of organizing things for the cats before I left. I had to send her a long string of instructions (like where to find the food and litter and other things). But she handled it with zero issues at all. Always a great job by her. Thanks!

Emily was awesome checking in on and hanging out with my cats. It was a chaotic pre-trip for me and I forgot to put the food in the proper place, but she figured everything out without any issues. Then every time, she managed to get them to pose for great pictures in my Rover card. She even kept me updated if she was going to be a little late (which only happened once). But the most impressive thing was that my roof sprung a small leak and she cleaned up the water and put out a towel and a bucket in case things devolved. She's awesome.

Emily was absolutely wonderful. Friendly, communicative, and reliable. My go-to cat sitter from now on! Also, as an added bonus, the photos she sent me were amazing! She is a great pet photographer!
