B.S.,M.A. Animal Science, Loves All

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a trustworthy and experienced pet sitter. I hold a B.S. in Animal Science and worked as an ICU technician at a veterinary hospital during my time as an undergrad. I'm currently pursuing a Masters in Animal Studies from NYU. I am not only an experienced dog and cat sitter but also hold a Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) certification and am trained in dog and cat CPR. I had a consistent set of clients in DC for whom I walked their dogs weekly, and I am hoping to create a similar schedule here in NY. I have been a foster home for several corgis through the East Coast Corgi Rescue (I adore all with short legs, and that could be because I too have them). Your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention. You can trust me to treat your furry companions like family, providing them with the love and care they deserve.

Emily is so kind, responsible and a great communicator! Bean loved her time with her and I would recommend Emily as someone who will give you peace of mind that your little one is cared for! Next time Bean and I are in the city and need a friendly face, Emily will be the first we reach out to! (:

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client's home, my approach is rooted in my extensive experience as a dedicated dog and cat sitter. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Since I am unable to have my own pet at the moment, I treat each animal I care for as if it were my own. This means providing them with the utmost love, attention, and respect. I ensure they receive regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. Additionally, I am meticulous about adhering to feeding schedules and any specific dietary requirements. Safety is paramount, and I maintain a secure environment for the pets, whether it's in my home or the client's. My goal is to create a comfortable and nurturing atmosphere, so the pets feel as relaxed and content as possible in my care.

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

All breeds are welcome, however it would be good to know if they have any fears or are aggressive towards other dogs/animals. I particularly love Corgis.

A typical day

I love going on walks around my new neighborhood and going down and reading in Washington Square Park. I adore a good fall hike as well!

I currently have an exceptionally flexible schedule. I am enrolled in three classes, scheduled exclusively on Mondays, Tuesday, and Wednesdays, during the mid-afternoon, leaving me with uninterrupted availability from Thursday through Sunday. Even on class days, I have substantial free time, with only 2 and a half-hour blocks dedicated to my studies, ensuring that I can prioritize and commit to pet care without any constraints
