Pet care experience

Experienced,Responsible, Student!

Hi pet parents! 🐾 I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, and I absolutely love what I do. Most of my experience is with dogs and cats, but I’ve also looked after fish, rabbits, and even chickens! I’ve volunteered in animal shelters as well, helping with feeding, enrichment, cleaning, and giving plenty of love to pets who need it most. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, brushing, or keeping up with your pet’s daily routine, I’m all about making sure your furry (or feathered!) family member feels safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own, and I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your sweet pets! 💛🐶🐱

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’m also a proud pet parent to three rescue pups of my own, who enjoy plenty of hikes, car rides, and nature walks with me. Caring for them has taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m committed to going above and beyond to make sure your furry family member feels just as loved, secure, and comfortable as they do when you’re home. You can count on me for gentle handling, clear communication, and reliable, responsible care every step of the way.

Best dog sitter we’ve ever had! ❤️ I was worried leaving our dog who had been sick shortly before a trip, and Emily gave us incredibly thorough updates with lots of pictures, gave him all of his meds and let us know how he was feeling every day. It put us so at ease. Her communication and sweet demeanor were wonderful and also made our dogs feel at ease too. Our house was spotless when we got back and she took such great care of everything. Looking forward to having her back!

Emily has a peaceful calm energy about her that my pets really responded to immediately. She's the first person in a long time to come into our house and not set off the "jack russell alarm"... which is really saying something because he tends to be a very yappy dog. I was a bit of a nervous wreck leaving the pets for a whole week to go cross country (we'd never traveled without the dogs before!), especially since they're senior dogs and one of them is handicapped. Emily was not only patient with my nerves and very detailed pet notes, but also prompt about checking in with us multiple times a day, reporting about their feeding, potty and play behaviors, and sending lots of pics and video each morning and evening. I could see by the photos they all looked quite relaxed and happy. Honestly, in the end, I think the animals probably somewhat enjoyed having a week without us home as it meant a week free from a screaming toddler being in the house. On the last day of our trip before we got home I had a family member do a final check in on the dogs because Emily had already had to go for the day and we were running behind getting home. Said family member told me, "That pet sitter you hired must've been AMAZING because all of the animals were just very relaxed and chill when I stopped by." The house was found as we'd left it and the animals showed no signs of stress or seperation anxiety upon our return. I don't want to make a habit of doing pet-free trips, but I would definitely hire Emily again if I did.

Genuinely amazing sitter, I recommend her to anyone who asks and I trust her so much and am so intensely grateful for her when my cat needs care. He's quite sociable and she's very good and comforting him and keeping him company while I'm away. She takes amazing care of all his amenities and goes above and beyond. I always tip her over 30% because she deserves it. Seriously thank you so much and I can only hope I get to book her again and again in the future! <3

Emily is great! She just watched my dogs overnight for a couple of nights, and has previously done drop-in visits/walks. She took great care of them. She provided regular and detailed updates with pictures. I'll continue to reach out to Emily for all future needs.

This was my second time booking with Emily to house sit my dog. She sent consistent photos and updates and is so easy and sweet to communicate with. I felt at ease knowing she was taking great care of my pup and giving him lots of attention while I was gone. Highly recommend Emily!

I would love to know any needs your pup/pets have before hand! Anything out of the norm (feeding, preferred walking locations, routines etc).If a meeting is needed before hand for instruction I am available. However, I am very good at following written instruction!
