Animals are my Love Language.

Pet care experience

Selecting a Petsitter isn't just about finding someone who's a good match for your furry family members - although that is of course the most important factor! You're also choosing someone who can give you assurance of home security, stewardship, and peace of mind while you're away. I have worked for many years as a high-level Housekeeper, where a multitude of clients have entrusted me with access to their homes and businesses - from yurts to multi-million dollar properties. The utmost care and consideration is given no matter what situation I am in. You can often find me on the floor, relating to animals at their level - whether that's speaking in meowish, massaging paws, or just sharing a quiet moment of connection. I am an outgoing introvert, who finds a certain kind of peace and comfort when in the presence of furry creatures. Cats and dogs alike have been known to cross the street to greet me. I have even had clients comment that they suspected their pet liked me more than them! #truestorynonfiction In previous years I have looked after a number of senior dogs, a one-eyed Jack Russell terrier, a sensitive Alaskan malamute, a visually-impaired Cairn terrier, a rambunctious Bernedoodle, and all manner of quirky kitty cats. I've become fast friends with rescues, special breeds, and everything in between. Contact me today to arrange a meet & greet and discuss details.

My cat fell in love with Emily. She is gentle and caring. I'd leave my cat with her anytime. She even tidied the house before my return. Thanks.

Emily was our introduction to Rover and we were very impressed. Emily came to house visit and dog walk for our beloved senior dog, and feed our cats. we really appreciate how gentle Emily is, and our dog did too; he responded very positively and quickly to his new friend! Thanks, Emily!

Emily is the best!! We hired her after reading all the amazing reviews (which are 100% accurate!) to look after our rescue cat who is very shy around new people. We were away for almost 2 weeks and Emily and Catrick became fast friends. She sent great pics and updates so I didn't have to worry and she took amazing care of our home, leaving it absolutely pristine. Above and beyond. Couldn't recommend a more competent or reliable caretaker for anyone's fur baby! Thank you Emily, so glad we found you, we will definitely be in touch for future trips!

We booked Emily for the past weekend, she had never met our 2-1 year old cats , Archie and Tigger. They warmed up to instantly because of her calm and knowledgeable demeanor! We had no worries when we were gone , as she kept us updated with pictures and videos which we loved ! AND our home was spotless when we came home (which you didn’t have to do Emily, but that was very kind of you )!!!! We would def recommend and use Emily for our next trip !! ?????

Safety, trust & environment

A change in routine can be difficult for animals, so I prefer to keep their daily schedule as normal and stress-free as possible while their families are away.

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

I am a petite woman (<100lbs), so larger breeds would have to be either very obedient/well-behaved or relaxed for me to adequately handle them. Please note, although I have a natural inclination for animal care *I am not a dog trainer*, and as such I do not accept bookings for aggressive or ill-mannered doggos.

A typical day

Whether your pet is a leisure-lover or an adventure-seeker, I am happy to adapt to their particular lifestyle during our time together. Walks, toys, treats - let me know what they love and I'll make sure to give them the attention they deserve!

I currently work outside of the home 3-4 days per week, where I am gone for up to 6 hours at a time. This could change in the next few weeks as I am looking to add on some office hours to my existing schedule - please confirm your pets potty & meal time requirements with me in your initial request so I can be sure that I am available to cater to their needs.
