Passionate animal lover & advocate

Pet care experience

I have experience watching dogs and cats for friends and family since I was 15 (also parakeets and even a chicken)! I provided care to animals of all sizes from working at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary for 2 years as an animal caregiving intern. I volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue walking dogs of all sizes.

Emily was great. It was the first time she walked our dog and she asked the right questions to make sure everything went well!

I’m very happy to recommend Emily for pet sitting. She is an extremely kind and thoughtful person, and she has a natural way with animals that immediately puts them at ease. Emily is patient, responsible, and very attentive to detail—she takes the time to understand a pet’s routine and makes sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. What stands out most about Emily is how genuinely caring she is. She doesn’t just “watch” a pet—she makes sure they feel safe, loved, and settled while their owner is away. She is also very reliable and easy to communicate with, which gives real peace of mind. I would trust her completely to care for any pet, and I know she would treat them as if they were her own.

I have known Emily since she was thirteen years old. Emily is truly an animal advocate. She has spent the last two summers at an animal sanctuary caring for chickens, pigs, goats, rabbits and more. She has a respect and love for all animals and I trust her and recommend her without any reservation to care for your pet.

Emily is an experienced, caring animal lover who always extends compassion and responsibility for all animals large and small. My dogs (15y/o pit mix and 4y/o chihuahua mix) are always happy and comfortable in her care. She always prioritizes animals over herself, stops people on the street to pet and get to know their dogs, and would immediately become your dog's or cat's (second) favorite person.
