Trustworthy Caring Cat & Dog Lover

Pet care experience

♡OSPCA Volunteer♡ ☆Feline Behaviour and Communication Certificate☆ *Senior cat & oral/injectable medication experience* I have had pets my entire life. My first pet was a cat named Scratch. I have also had pet birds such as budgies, cockatiels, and a parakeet. I had a guinea pig as a young child too! One of my previous two cats had diabetes unfortunately, so I am familiar and well practiced with administering oral medication and insulin injections. I also have experience administering inhalers for pets with asthma. I currently have four rescue cats of my own. They were very timid and skiddish at first. I have spent a lot of time to work with them and overcome their fears and help them become more social. The fourth rescue cat has always been extremely friendly. She loves to play and explore! I love letting cats take the lead and letting them flourish in their space, and I always respect their boundaries. I have dog sat for family, friends of family and clients over the years. The first dog I ever sat was a black poodle! She was a puppy and taking her for walks was fun, although I quickly had to adapt and manage her behaviour of biting on the loose leash! As a dog walker I understand each dog has their own unique personality, favourite routes, preferred treats, and so on, so don't hesitate to share those detailawith me! I have years of experience with my own pets and petsitting for friends, family and clients. I love all animals and I would love to pet sit for you as I know how important it is to have someone you trust watching your pets when you want to go on a vacation, need to travel for work or just need a little extra help! I have personally experienced this as we needed a pet sitter to watch our cats while we went out of town and it was so important finding someone with the right experience and skillset to handle our pets while I was away and to care for them with the same compassion and love that I do when I am home! When you hire me you are hiring years of experience, and someone who will treat your pets as a family. I will go above and beyond to make sure they are respected and treated with compassion and love in your absence!

First time having Emily watch my senior cats and she was great. Very professional and lovely updates in her rover cards. My pets were very well cared for and I will definitely book again.

Thank you Emily! First time using Rover, but you went above and beyond in caring for my cats while I was out of town. Thank you for the daily reports as well as bringing toys to play with them as well. I would highly recommend Emily, if you are looking for someone to watch your pets in any situation. Will definitely be rebooking her should the need arise!

Amazing service by Emily! She was prompt and took such great care of our cat. She looked after everything we asked - the litter, food and drink. She also played with him and gave him some love! She also kept us updated with pictures and videos which was very nice. Overall, great value- thank you!

Emily was great with our cat. She provided daily reviews through Rover of how our cat was interacting with her, his daily health status and included pictures and videos. She even swept our kitchen floor along with daily litter cleaning. We could tell our cat was loved while we were gone for a week. Highly recommend Emily:)

I love to set time aside to sit and connect with each pet one on one. I like to play with their favourite toy and give them lots of pets if they allow it. I am also totally understanding if they need a little space too that day!

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

I want to make sure I care for your pet exactly like you do and I know that every pet has their routine. Let me know if your oet likes things a certain way, for example, do they like their food heated up slightly? Do they have a favourite toy or game? Do they prefer to be greeted with belly scratches or left alone unt they approach me? If there is anything you think is important to them and you, please share it with me so I can make sure your pets have an enjoyable time while you are away!

A typical day

I will interact with your pets in all different ways! I understand some pets need more patience and space than others. I am confident in my ability to read the behaviours of your cats or dogs and respond accordingly. I love a good toy time or treat break!

I am full time pet sitter so my schedule is dedicated to clients which allows me to offer flexible hours. I understand sometimes things come up last minute so I do accept same day bookings for clients who have already conducted a meet and greet.
