Safety, trust & environment

My main goal with any pet is making sure they feel safe and comfortable, whether that be at home or on a walk. I have four indoor cats of my own who are totally spoiled! I respect their boundaries, give them space when they need it, and shower them with attention when they want it. I bring this same kind of care to every pet I look after as I know how important it is to treat animals like the unique personalities they are.

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know their daily habits and quirks, like hiding spots and fear triggers, bathroom havits, feeding schedules and dietary restrictions! Having emergency contact information and the vet’s information would be helpful too.

A typical day

Every day with the cats and dogs I watch will be a mix of play, care, and affection! Each activity will be tailored to their needs and energy levels.

Pet care experience

I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for friends’ pets over the years, including dog walking and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with different routines and always aim to make pets feel safe, loved, and at ease in their homes.

Responsive, thoughtful (brought my packages in and informed me of a pest issue I was unaware of), and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cats!
