Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to have your babies stress less while you are away. This means keeping them home and in their comfort zone with their own scents and belongings. Stress less care means they eat better and use the bathroom normally which of course avoids a lot of common physical symptoms that can lead to vet trips. Please message me with any questions! Thank You for your consideration.

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

No breed restrictions, but I would like to know their temperament, health, anxiety level and how they react to strangers entering their home. Any special diets or medications also.

A typical day

Neighborhood walks and parks, tug of war, bubble popping, hide and go seek, cuddle sessions, company and more! Whatever they desire I will try my best to provide.

Animal Care Professional

Pet care experience

I care for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rabbits and ferrets, any size in the comfort of their own home! I have been in the animal care field since I was 13 years old from volunteering to working at 3 shelters, the Bucks County SPCA, Animal Care & Control Team of Philly and PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society). I've gained experience over the years from managing a pet hotel and learning skills on the job. Diabetic cats accepted.

Emily fed and cared for our cat for 7 days straight while we were away. She was very good with communicating and following up. I got a couple pics every visit. She even brought in my mail. She met my cat before our visit and you can tell She is very good with animals. He was immediately purring and loving her. We were very calm and relaxed because we knew our boy was in good hands. We'd 100% have emily watch our cat again.

Emily went above and beyond with house sitting our babies. She kept us updated the entire time and sent photos. Our home was left tidy and Emily even cleaned out our pet vac and litter box! Even though I didn’t ask for it. Definitely would book with her again. Thank you so much!

Great communication before and during our trip. She had no issue with giving medication. Sent plenty of photos to us daily which was greatly appreciated. Would use again and recommend without hesitation.
