Pet care experience
I have grown up with pets all my life (dogs, ferrets, bunnies, chickens) and was the go to gal in the neighborhood for watching their cats and dogs if they were out of town. I've done housesitting, playdates, walking, and just feeding schedules. It does not matter that I have a pet of my own, I will get excited at every dog and cat I see and say how cute they are.
Reviews
Emily took great care of my girls while I was away. They are normally scared of new people but they played with her and enjoyed her visits. She also made time for me even though it was not her usual schedule. Thanks Emily! Will hire again!
Emily was an AMAZING sitter!!! I needed last minute boarding and not only was she accommodating she was reassuring. My dog was well taken care of and had a good time I would definitely recommend and go back to her when in the area!!!!!
Emily is a kind, caring soul and amazing with all animals! She does a great job ensuring pets get extra love and cuddles, as many walks or exercise as they need, and is a pro at handling medications for dogs. Aside from how great she is with pets, Emily is great at watching your house, bringing in the mail, or keeping things tidy as needed! She would be a great person to help watched your furry friend while you are away!
Emily has been our pet sitter for several years. She has provided loving, attentive care for both our aged beagle and our sibling cats. During the last years of her life, our beloved beagle needed somebody near fairly consistently and we always felt comfortable having Emily come live-in to care of her so that we could take a bit of vacation time or travel for work. Our beagle needed medications and detailed food preparation, several walks each day, and lots of love and cuddles, otherwise. Emily was fabulous with her and she was always excited to see Emily arrive! Since she has now left us to go play with all the other dogs in Dog Star heavens, Emily continues to provide loving care for our cats when we are away. While one would think they were less needy....that would be in error! Our tuxedoed boy needs many hours of lap-sitting and endless petting. His sister requires an admirer from afar who is comfortable cleaning her box, leaving her favorite foods on her dish, just-so, and refilling her water bowl with a careful eye. Emily is both loved by them and loves them back. I would recommend Emily to care for anyone's beloved furry family members. She is thoughtful, diligent, caring, patient, wise, prompt, and responsible. She routinely sends me pictures of my furries when I am gone, just so I can see how content they are with her being there. Emily is superb pet sitter and I feel lucky that she has been so wonderful with my crew.

I live in an apartment building in the VCU area with my dog Uno (super friendly). Uno goes on 3 walks a day and walking your little one with him wouldn't be a problem. If your pet is crate trained I have one set up. I have a car so meeting for feeding or walks shouldn't be an issue. My car is dog friendly so if you'd like us to go to the park or the dog park and get some energy out that is definitely an option.

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any particular quirks (barking at other animals, shy, aggressive, loves to eat shoes, etc.) or certain routines that you'd like me to know about.
A typical day
As a dog lover I'm on good walks, playing fetch, interactive games and a good amount of time cuddling. I aim to make your pet be excited to see me because they know we'll have a good time. With cats I tend to just pet them as long as they let me and make sure they're fed and have water.
