Pet care experience
Specialty Care for Old and Disabled
I'm a fulltime pet sitter! My life is dedicated to giving your pets the kind of attentive, compassionate care that they deserve! I love all animals, but there is a special place in my heart for the old and disabled. I have a knack for understanding their needs, and have endless patience to move at whatever speed they require. I'm very comfortable giving cats and dogs pills / liquid oral / injectable medications, as I have cared for many sick and disabled animals over my animal care career. If anything ever were to arise with your pet when you're not there, I am an expert vet surrogate. I have extensive knowledge of dog and cat health care from years of experience, paired with the information I gather following veterinary news and science publications in my free time. I adopted my dog as an overweight senior with separation anxiety. For his weight problems I have him on a reduced calorie diet, with lots of vegetable treats throughout the day as low calorie high fiber rewards. He takes glucosamine to keep his joints strong, and we get in as many walks around the yard as we can. He uses a lick mat in the tub for anxiety, and I have crate trained him to help with his separation anxiety so that he has a place he feels safe until I return. He uses a variety of slow feeders and puzzles to keep his mind stimulated and sharp!

Safety, trust & environment
I believe in respect between a sitter and their client, and in boundaries. I am always trying to be be cognizant of being in someone else's space. I expect privacy when I'm in someone else's home, and they can expect privacy from me. I Just want to feel safe and for you to feel safe with me.
Ratings and reviews
Emily was fantastic. Great communication and pictures along the way. I could tell my dogs were at ease with her there.
Emily has been great with our Lucy! You can tell she has a lot of experience and is a pet lover. Our Lucy who can be timid and high anxiety really took to Emily and even sat on her lap! Emily’s communication prior was great and she kept us informed on the visit including photos. We would highly recommend her especially if your pet has special needs.
Emily has been a fantastic sitter to stay with our dog in our home! She follows through with all instructions and communicates frequently, Emily caters to our dog’s neediness and is a very considerate, responsible person to have in our home. We feel so comfortable knowing that Houdini is in her care.
Emily went above and beyond to care for my kitties during her stay. She sent photos very often and kept me up to date on any changes. Would highly recommend her!!! She’ll be my first call on or next trip
Emily was wonderful! We have an older, anxious dog, and she was so great with him, giving him extra love and care, and lots of activities for him. She truly went above and beyond!
Emily was wonderful! She took the time to share pictures and keep me updated on things going on while I was away. It was very easy to communicate with her as she’s very responsive. She was also very tidy and left our home very clean and neat. I’ve already booked with her for another trip and look forward to reaching out to her for more needs beyond that. Highly recommend her for anyone in need of pet sitting !

Schedule
I'm mildly disabled and spend a lot of time resting, whether it's with your dog or mine. Taking care of animals is mostly all I do, so my schedule is flexible in every direction! I go to an exercise class a couple times a week, I go to doctors appointments, I run errands, and I like to spend dinnertime with my boyfriend and friends, whenever possible. Every now and then, there's a an evening out with my friends, but I never will leave animals for longer than has been agreed upon and previously established. My hours are flexible so I can make almost any care schedule work for me!
