Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my day around each pet's needs, whether that's morning walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, or evening check-ins. I make it a priority to be punctual, follow each pet's routine closely, and give them my full attention during every visit. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care so your pet feels comfortable and you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any house rules your pet is used to. I know pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I aim to provide calm, consistent care while giving them the attention and companionship they need. I'll also keep your home tidy and send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know what makes them unique! The most helpful things to share are their normal routine, feeding schedule, personality, favorite activities, comfort items, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. I’d also like to know about any quirks, fears, medical needs, medications, or behaviors I should be aware of (for example, how they do with other animals, strangers, walks, or being alone). Every pet has their own preferences, and the more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them.

A typical day

A typical day will be centered around keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’ll start with their usual morning routine, whether that’s breakfast, a walk, outdoor time, or some quiet attention. Throughout the day, I’ll make time for play, enrichment, cuddles, and whatever activities best match their personality and energy level. For dogs, that may include walks around the neighborhood, exploring new smells, playing fetch, practicing basic commands, or simply relaxing together at home. For cats, it may mean interactive play, window time, brushing, or giving them space and affection on their terms. I’ll always prioritize what makes your pet feel safe and happy while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way.

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Emily, an active, responsible, and reliable animal lover based in Costa Mesa. I've always enjoyed spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether that's going for long walks or runs, playing fetch, or simply giving them some love while you're away. I'm someone who values routine, communication, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll treat yours with the same attention and care I'd give my own. I'm happy to provide regular photo and video updates, stick to your pet's feeding and medication schedule, and accommodate any special instructions you have. Outside of pet care, I enjoy running, staying active, and spending time outdoors, so if your dog loves walks or exercise, they'll have a great companion! Whether your pet prefers adventure or relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to match their energy and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
