Safety, trust & environment

I have plenty of experience with caring for pets, so I can do anything that you need. I can clean up for them, feed them, take them out, and anything else you may need. I have given animals pills before, so I can administer medicine (though I am no vet 😅). Anything you may need I can do, or I can learn to do. I will also respect any boundaries laid out by you and/or your pet. Just please communicate with me about this needs and I'll be more than happy to comply!

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know anything the pet does not like, or anything the pet needs. If there are any behaviors I need to be careful about or situations to avoid that would be extremely helpful. I am able to accommodate most anything as long as I am given a heads up about it!

A typical day

I will play with your dogs and give them so much love. I play with the dogs as much as I can, and if they out last me I make sure they're entertained! I also love to give cuddles to any pet that will give me them!

Pet care experience

I have cared for both dogs and cats since I was in the fifth grade. I have cared for all shapes and sizes of dogs from great danes to yorki puppies! I also have cared for both senior dogs and puppies. I have worked for many different people, and I am very flexible on what you need from me. I am available in any way that I can help! I am a college student who is far from my own cat and dog, so I have plenty of latent love to give to your pet!

Emily did a lovely job watching our cats! She was super responsive, sent great updates (and photos!), and took amazing care of them. We’d absolutely hire her again

Emily was amazing! She did a good job keeping me updated and was respectful to my house when housesitting. Would definitely recommend!

Emily is great pet sitter for my kitties. She has taken care of them several times and she did an excellent job! Very kind, trustworthy and friendly. Would highly recommend her! The cats were very comfortable with her and watched for her at the door to arrive and play!

One day, about ten years ago when she was in grade school, Emily saw a lost dog. The dog was very scared as she tried to navigate the carpool line and find some shelter from the February weather. Emily let the dog into the building and took the dog to the front office. The ladies who work in the school office are friends of mine. One encouraged me to take in the dog, and after the vet said it was okay, Frannie has been a part of our family. During those passing years, Emily has been Frannie's best caregiver when I have long days or weekends away. Even before Emily could drive, she would stay with my pets (a pit bill mix, a pocket bully, and a 17-year old cranky kitty). She is responsible. She communicates in a timely manner. But, most importantly, as an animal lover - who saved Frannie from being sent to a shelter - she is a loving and caring person who has always treated my pets as though they were her own. I highly recommend her!
