Senior and high-need care ❤️
Pet care experience
Hey there! I’m your local animal lover, taking care of creatures since age 3. Dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes, beetles—you name it, I love it! My style of care of very animal-centered. If they want to spend 15 minutes sniffing the same inch of lawn, so be it. If they’re stressed and need some space, they’ll get it. I keep a keen eye out for anything your animal may be trying to tell me and respond in kind! I love hanging out with any and all animals, but I also specialize in giving all the extra love, care, and support that comes with high needs animals. That includes senior pets, pets with medical needs, high anxiety pets, pets who just like things done a specific way, and any other variation on the theme. If you’re unsure of whether I can meet your pets needs, send me a message! I am more than happy to chat with you to figure out if we’re a good match.

We cannot speak highly enough of Emily! Our pup is very sweet and loveable, and comes with her own set of challenges. As someone with a dog reactive pitbull with a nose for trouble (read: will ferret out anything to eat or destroy), finding someone that we feel comfortable with and can handle the job has had its ups and downs. Emily was immediately very receptive to all of our dog's information, was willing to do a walk ahead of time so I could describe what works best for our pup, and remained communicative before we left. Throughout our trip, texts were thorough, descriptive, and came with many adorable pictures (but not at all overwhelming or intrusive!). When there was a hiccup that many sitters might have understandably bowed out, Emily was professional, quick to problem solve, and continued to provide wonderful sitting for our girl. Then we got home, and Emily had gone above and beyond again. Our girl was happy as a clam and our home was left in wonderful condition, guest bed linens stripped, and our house looking almost like no one had stayed there! I would recommend Emily to anyone that needed a pet sitter/house sitter!

Emily was the perfect companion for my pup. Professional, prompt, thoughtful, great feedback. I came home to a happy dog and that makes me happy. Will definitely book again!


Emily did such an amazing job with our two dogs. One is very anxious and the other high energy so sometimes I get nervous leaving them with a new person. She determined they have high afternoon energy and developed a sniff and find game that stimulated them both and helped them relax at the end of the day. She sent me pictures throughout the trip and when we came home our dogs were calm and happy. I would recommend Emily to anyone needing a sitter for their dogs, of any demeanor! Will definitely use her again! Thanks :)

My dog had an amazing time with Em! She's friendly, communicative, and sent some wonderful photos of our pup while we were away. She'll be at the top of my list the next time I need a dog sitter.

Your rules are my rules! Every animal has unique needs, and you know them better than anyone else. If you say something is a no-go, it’s a no-go. If you say they need something, then I need them to have it. I’ve got good instincts for all of the bits in-between and will keep you informed of anything that comes up.
Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet
I want to know anything and everything about your pet! I can work with minimal details, but knowing about their general routines/schede, medical needs, food and water details are essential. Bonus if I get to know any comfort/soothing routines, preferred forms of enrichment, triggers, favored smells, best scritchin’ zones, and literally anything else!
A typical day
It’s all about enrichment!! Let’s go on a walk with looooooots of sniffs. Let’s get toothy with a tied treat towel. Let’s play hiding/finding games. Let’s play some fetch. And in all the in between times, cuddles are readily available!

Availability
I’m self-employed, so my schedule is really flexible. My weekends tend to be booked (so if you see one open that you want, snag it!) but my weekdays are wide open for giving lots of love to lots of critters.
