Emily watched our fur babies while we were away for our wedding. She was so kind and I loved the daily updates and photos. It really gave us peace of mind that they were well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Emily was wonderful checking in on our pups while we were away. Our Shepard is normally slow to warm up to people but Emily took the time and knew how to approach her in a gentle and calming way. She was playing ball with her in no time. Our pittie loved her right away. Thank you for taking good care of them and sending all the pics bc it certainly helped to ease our mind!

I was thrilled to have found Emily last minute. She seemed punctual and efficient. However after getting back from my trip. I noticed she left the litter scooper in the litter box. With it being left in there my cat went other places around. Which he has never done that before, disappointed. It also didn’t seem like she filled up his bowls with food like I had asked. They all were empty. If you are booking her, just make sure there are camera around so you can monitor what she’s doing and ask for a lot of specific pictures.

Emily did a great job caring for Ozzie! Her drop-in visits were nicely timed, and we truly appreciated the reassuring photos of Ozzie. Thank you, Emily, for taking such good care of our furbaby❣️
