Compassionate & Patient Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
I have provided in-home and drop-in pet sitting for friends and neighbor's fur babies (cats and dogs of various sizes and ages) over the past five years. I have previous experience caring for kittens at The Rescue House in San Diego (where I'm originally from). I grew up caring for our family's pets including fish, mice, parakeets, cats, and one sweet rescue dog!
Reviews
Emily has taken excellent care of our two cats and our home many times. She’s done house-sitting and drop-ins for us. Emily is calm, friendly, gentle, and the cats love her. We know they’re in good hands when she’s with them. Emily is also one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet! We’re looking forward to hiring her again.
I cannot recommend Emily enough! Emily was always my first choice for a pet sitter when I would go out of town. She always went above and beyond for my two cats, not only caring for their physical needs (fresh food and water, clean litter, occasional treats, etc) but also being attentive to their emotional needs and well-being (cuddling and playing with them, maintaining their daily schedule so they felt comfortable, etc) as well. My oldest cat Winston is blind and therefore has specific special needs which Emily always more than willing and able to accommodate. She is compassionate and empathetic toward all animals and has always proven to me how dedicated she is to making my two cats (my babies) feel safe, loved and cared for when I’m gone. You won’t find a more trustworthy capable person to watch your animals than Emily! I seriously can’t recommend her enoughy!

I pay great attention to detail when caring for your pet in your home including following all dietary specifications and feeding and medication schedules. I provide positive reinforcement (through praise and parent-approved treats) of your pet's training commands and your house rules. Your pet's well-being is my priority and for this reason, I will always ask for the contact information of your veterinarian when providing services. I am also careful about home security ensuring all gates, doors, windows, and garages are secure before leaving the premises.
Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, sensitivities, or preferences regarding food, play, and potential interactions with other people (adults and children) or pets (dogs/cats) when on walks.
A typical day
Happy to play your pets favorite games (fetch, tug, keep away, feather toys, food puzzles, etc.) and go on short or long walks (based on your pet's need) in your neighborhood! Will provide snuggles and scritches or slow movement and respectful distance based on your pet's personality.
