Safety, trust & environment

For dogs and cats, I let them lead the way for what makes them most comfortable. I'm more than happy to give your pet space and (supervised) solitude, or be a super hype play buddy! I am comfortable providing special care and/or medication to your pet if needed. I'm a very open and transparent communicator, and won't hesitate to ask questions. The same respect I have for your pets, I'll have for your home and space.

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medical or special needs ahead of time (i.e., medication, conditions, dietary restrictions, allergies, triggers, PTSD, etc.).

A typical day

With dogs, I love to play and let them explore when I’m with them. I live near a large park, so taking them on a long walk will likely be on the agenda, followed by training and/or play time, then a nap. Or we can lounge on the couch and play some halfhearted tug-of-war, if that's what they're into. For cats, I let them take the lead. If your cat is shy, I'd be happy to sit with them and patiently introduce myself until they're comfortable. If your cat is playful and silly, I’d love to play with them and have chatty conversations. We could also sit by the window together and birdwatch. Every cat has its odd favorite toy, and I’d love to learn what your cats’ is!

Pet care experience

Hello! <3 I am a loving pet-sitter with 7 years of dog care and 2 years of cat care (and counting). While under my care, your pet will be loved on and paid the utmost attention to, and I adore pets with all their personalities and quirks. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll be there. I am a cat mom to a three-year-old tuxedo girl. She used to be quite sensitive and shy, so I’m very comfortable with adapting to the personality of your pet. I’d be more than happy just being in the presence of your cat and keeping them company during their care. My family has a seven-year-old Boston/Frenchie mix who has needed medical care in the past and present (sudden allergic reactions, eye surgeries, allergy shot administration, medicated ear cleanings, etc.), so I am familiar with the ins-and-outs of routine doggy care, on top of exciting walks around the park and lots of play time (and maybe a nap or two). All in all, I'll be able to adapt to whatever unique personality your pet has and care for them like my own. I absolutely adore animals and would love to extend that compassion to your baby as well, whether through check-ins, walks, or house-sits.

Emily is an amazing pet caretaker, she is incredibly loving and responsible. She took care of my cat Gaeranmari for five days while I was away for spring break, and she was prompt with daily updates. This was my first time away from my cat from any extended amount of time, but I felt confident that I was leaving her in good hands. She was quick at communication, generous with the care she provided, and never hesitated to go above and beyond. Her behavior and actions always demonstrated a sincere love of animals. I would highly recommend!

Emily was super nice and amazing when watching my dog, Peanut. She made sure to send a bunch updates and pictures of peanut to make sure peanut was doing well. She was very gentle with Peanut and took him to the dog park and put a smile on his face :)! I would definitely book with her again and I know Peanut misses Emily.

Emily Li was a lovely dog walker! She was considerate, timely, and super easy to communicate with. I would totally recommend her to a friend!

Emily has a natural connection with animals. She’s super loving, responsible, and always knows what they need. She took great care of her family dog in high school, from daily walks and monthly baths to keeping a close eye on his health. She always notices right away if something is off and makes sure pets get the care timely. Now in college, she’s a pro at taking care of her cat Nyla, who’s totally comfortable traveling with her and adjusting to new places. Emily treats every pet like they’re her own, and you can totally trust her to give your furry friends all the love, attention, and care they deserve!
