Availability
As I am navigating a career transition, my schedule is currently fairly flexible in the mornings and around mid-day with weekends becoming the most open aspect of my schedule (especially on Sundays). Nevertheless, I would do whatever I could to accommodate my schedule to serve the needs of your pet. If you needed me to come by for early morning walks, potty breaks and mealtimes, I could happily do that. And on the weekends, I would be easily available for morning, afternoon or evening check-ins. If you needed me to stay at your place to keep your sweetheart feeling comfortable and ensure that they keep to a regular feeding routine, I could gladly do that for you.

About Emily M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and situational awareness are something that I take very seriously, and I would ensure that whatever you or your pet needed to feel comfortable and safe while they are in my care, I would do.
Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet
I want to respect your pets' preferred ways of being handled and touched so let me know if there are any parts of their body that they do not like being touched (such as their paws, tails or belly). Or if they have any sensitivities to noise, sudden movements and/or certain types of clothing. I would also like to know if they have a safe space where they can hide so if I do not see them in the house, I can poke around and make sure they're okay. Without bothering them of course.
A typical day
For your sweet cat I will happily grab the nearest stick toy or mouse and try to engage them in a game of catch and kill! So that they can have a chance to engage their hunter/prey response. I'll take treats and hide them inside of boxes and pieces of paper so that they get a chance to forage and explore a bit. Or I can bring out the catnip and give them a nice little sense play by covering their toys or bed with the wonderful herb.

A Friend for When You're Away
Pet care experience
Whether you are looking for someone who is willing to give hands on daily interactive care and love for your darling while you embark on your next adventure (or deal with a required work trip), look no further than me. Not only am I a passionate and experienced cat caretaker, but I am also willing to go above and beyond to make sure they are loved and cared for. The years I have posted up above reflect the number of years helping with and taking care of cats that did not belong to or live with my parents (mainly my current darling). But even though my expertise is in cat care (as a child who grew up in a home that included a slow evolution from two cats to one cat, then a new cat and finally to three cats!). I have proven myself to be capable of learning and handling the responsibilities of any job that is given to me. And I would love to become more an expert with dogs. I am a person who loves going for walks and enjoying a stroll through the neighborhood and would be honored to take your dog for a nice long walk. If your cat wants to come along too that would be even better! Or if your cat just needs someone to live in the house and make sure that the litterbox is squeaky clean- look no further. I have helped take care of a friend's cat and loved having the opportunity to enjoy her delightful and exuberant kitty.

Reviews
We just returned home to happy & healthy kitties thanks to Emily’s care.
Emily was a wonderful pet sitter for my two kitties while we were gone for 4 days. They shared updates and pictures of the pets every visit which brought me such joy. You can tell emily really cares about the pets in her care and always wants to do a great job. Would recommend her!!
Emily was a wonderful cat sitter! I received so many updates and messages. Communication was perfect and helped me feel at ease that my kitties were well cared for while we were gone. Will definitely book Emily again!
Emily was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She took such great care of Louie while we were out of town for the week and treated him with so much gentleness and attention. She made sure he was well fed, comfortable, and clearly cared for, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she truly loves animals, and Louie was in great hands. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable cat sitter.
