Pet care experience

For all kinds of animals 🐈‍⬛️🐇🐢

Hi! I'm Emily, here to give your animals extra gentle care. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, reptiles and all sorts of animals! My experience comes from working in animal shelters, home care, and wildlife rehab caring for neonate kittens to full bobcats. I have experience with special cases, including being a pet parent to Callie, a special needs kitty, who loves everyone she comes across & gets along great with cats & dogs.

Emily was a fantastic drop-in visitor for our two cats. She took excellent care of them and was unbelievably kind and warm.

Emily is terrific! She is a true animal lover and pays close attention to my dog, making her feel comfortable and happy. Emily also took great care of our plants and house while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her. She will be your pet’s next best friend!

Emily did a great job looking after everyone. She sent some really great photos and took good care of the house as well.

Emily is so sweet, kind, attentive, and creative! She has cats of her own, so I knew she would do well with caring for my kitties! She did a meet and greet and really took her time. She was so sweet to send me daily reports with many pictures which I really appreciated! She would carve out in their litter box litter a special "emoji" every day, kitty related of course! I would highly recommend Emily for any of your fur baby sitting needs!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I currently reside in Skokie and am willing to travel to surrounding areas to provide care. I can provide care during the day or overnight if requested. My housesitting rate is for morning/night care, and extra walks or drop-ins can be added on as well!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Please let me know of any special care or routines your pet requires. I have experience administering pills & shots and using IVs & feeding tubes. I also have lots of experience providing snuggles, walks, & playtime. :)

Pets

Note: I do not have training to care for aggressive pets at this time. If your pet loves meeting new cats, I can always bring my kitty Callie along too! Please reach out to me with any questions & I look forward to meeting you & your fur (or feather, hair, or scale!) baby soon.
