I won’t be home sitting because I live in a dorm right now, but I can home sit at your homes! I care very much for animals and will give them my undivided attention.

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if they have any behavioral qualities I should know about or anything that may impact their care in my hands. But also let me know what they like to do or eat! I’ll do my best to keep them happy :)

A typical day

I’ll play with your pets and take them on walks to whatever place that’s pet friendly. I’ll keep them on the schedule you have set for them and do my best to give them a good and safe time with me.

Emily is truly amazing; she did drop-ins on my cat for a little under 2 weeks. My cat is typically on the shy side when it comes to meeting new people but Emily took her time to get to know him. Emily provided a lot of pictures and was quick to respond to any questions. I came home to a clean space and happy pet— I’d definitely recommend her services!

Emily took excellent care of Addison! I was fully able to enjoy my time away knowing Addison was in great hands. And was so happy to find Addison calm and relaxed when I got home - not showing an ounce of stress (a rarity for her ☺️). We will definitely ask Emily back in the future - and highly recommend her.

Emily always goes above and beyond, communicates clearly & consistently, and takes exceptional care of our beloved (and particular) pets. Highly recommend her for both dog and cat care.
