Full Time Pet BFF 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Emily. I have been around animals since I was very young. I have 7+ years of experience working in the boarding/daycare setting as well as veterinary. I own an 8 year old reactive dog, so I am very accustomed to keeping control on a leash during walks. I have a 17 year old cat as well as two rambunctious little ferrets. I have experience on pretty much all sides, ages, and breeds :) I am also working towards becoming a dog trainer! Animals are my single biggest passion and their care and wellbeing is my priority. I cant wait to meet your fur babies!

Without a doubt, Emily is the most exceptional sitter I have ever had. I can confidently assure you that choosing her will not leave you disappointed; she truly is an absolute treasure when it comes to caring for pets. For the past two years, she has been my go-to sitter for my beloved cat Remi. From the moment they met, he formed an immediate and strong bond with her, which speaks volumes about her warm and affectionate nature. Emily’s genuine love and concern for animals are evident in every interaction she has with Remi. She consistently goes above and beyond to engage him in playtime, ensuring his well-being remains a top priority while providing me with regular updates on his activities and condition. What sets Emily apart from other sitters is the incomparable level of detail she includes in her reports. Not only does she send numerous photos and videos of Remi during their time together, but these updates are incredibly thorough and comprehensive - far surpassing any previous experiences I’ve had with sitters. The peace of mind I feel when leaving my cat in Emily’s capable hands cannot be overstated. If you’re seeking care for your pet, look no further than Emily. Her dedication to providing outstanding pet-sitting services coupled with her genuine love for animals make her second to none ❤️

Emily was so great with our two pups! She was able to do a last minute (same day booking) drop-in visit for us. She was patient and understanding with our dog who is shy and barks at strangers. She provided sweet pictures, a detailed update, and was easy to communicate with too. Would book again!

Emily cared for my senior cat during a recent trip out of the country and I could not have asked for anyone better. She bonded with my cat from our first meeting. Communication between us was great and Emily sent pictures each day from her visits. She stayed awhile with my cat each time, giving him affection and some playtime. His routine was carried out as if I were there, including regular feeding times and dietary supplements. My living arrangement in a downtown condo presents some unique challenges but Emily rose to them and then went above and beyond caring for my boy. I don't hesitate to recommend Emily to anyone who is looking for a conscientious and caring pet sitter. She's the best!

Emily possesses the most calming and upbeat "dog whisperer" vibe. Our new puppy liked her immediately, and we completely appreciated how she respects her, with her small stature, just as if she were a larger dog. Emily knows how to communicate seamlessly - with both our dog and us! She's been great about keeping us posted with updates on her arrival and visitation notes. I would love to have the chance to learn more from her!

Safety, trust & environment

The autonomy of animals is very important to me. I am super intrigued by animal behavior/signaling, so I am always keeping an eye on the signals that your pet gives me so I can communicate with them and make sure they are comfortable. I am attentive to your animals and I will make sure to monitor them and keep an eye on them to make sure they are looking and feeling their best while their human is away. I treat every pet like they are my own and build a special connection with them. That is my favorite part about animals - connecting!!

Information Emily J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any specific triggers (ie feet touched, mouth being touched, etc). I want to be as diligent as I can in making sure I communicate with your pet properly and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

A typical day

I love to play with your pets and stimulate them as best I can. Mental and physical stimulation for pets is always important, but especially when their owners are away - they need to play and have fun so that they do not worry about missing their owners too much!
