Pet care experience

Big walks, Happy tails!

I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for the past 4 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all different personalities and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, or your cat just wants some extra cuddles, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they deserve. 🐾

Fabulous as always. Emily provided on-time, thorough, consistent updates and plentiful photos! I felt so reassured knowing she was with my senior chihuahua. She even spent extra time with my dog. She is extremely conscientious and even took care of my dog while sick (which she didn’t have to, but she is that dedicated).

Emily was fantastic. I highly recommend her. She went above and beyond. She came for a pre-meeting, always arrived early for her appointments and spent lots of snuggle time with my senior chihuahua, sending copious updates and photos, which I loved! You can’t go wrong with Emily! Super grateful

Emily was absolutely phenomenal, she dropped in on my cats, and sent me pictures and videos! I would 100% recommend and will be using her services in the future!

Emily loves animals and is always my first choice when I need someone to take care of my pets. She is caring, responsible, reliable, and a great communicator. Emily is a wonderful pet parent herself, taking great care of her family dog and her own cat. I trust her completely to take care of my cat when I'm away, she's playful and fun with him and she understands and respects his schedule and medical needs. Emily is a great choice if you need someone to care for your pets!

Emily is the best!! She has watched all of my animals over the past 10 years, and has always been my trusted source for a pet sitter. It’s never easy to leave my dogs when I’m traveling, but it is reassuring knowing they are in such great hands with Emily.

Schedule

Since I work from home, my routine is naturally flexible and pet-friendly! I’m home for most of the day, which means your pet gets plenty of companionship, attention, and care rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I like to start my day with some fresh air and a walk, and I’m happy to build in additional walks, playtime, potty breaks, or cuddle time throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs. I also enjoy keeping a calm, comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! 🐾
