Safety, trust & environment

I stick to the owners instructions. If he or she has a routine they follow with their pet I follow it and if I have any questions I never assume, I always ask. That includes house sitting, walking their pet, and helping with potty breaks and play dates. I’m incredibly patient and understanding, I believe it is a relationship that I’m building with the dog or cat, as well as the owner. I give a lot of care and love and I always leave follow up notes of how the day went.

Information Emily N. would like to know about your pet

All I ask is to please let me know if your dog has any special needs, their walking routine, etc. When I walk other peoples dogs we do not say hello to other dogs, it’s my number one rule. Safety for your dog is my number one priority.

A typical day

I love to keep the dogs mentally and physically stimulated. I enjoy taking them for walks in new areas, but first I learn where their owner would like me to walk them first. A lot of games through out the day and snuggles!

Pet care experience

Since I was a child I’ve been in love with all animals, particularly dogs and cats. I was 13 years old when we rescued our 12 year old Shih Tzu, Blondie. She lived to be 19. I learned at a young age how much care an elderly dog needs and I loved every minute of it. Our family have continued to get Shih Tzus, Lily just passed in 2021, she lived to be 17 years old. I now have Tarzan. I have and can watch dogs and cats of any size, I’d love to continue giving my love and kindness to other dogs and cats, and help make someone’s day a little easier!

This is the second time Emily has petsit for my 2 cats. As always she was amazing. My first experience was back in February when I had to go on an extended work trip for 10 days. Emily was amazing and my 2 cats warmed right up to her. She took such great care of them. She went above and beyond even making it to take care of them during the blizzard. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She will love your pets like they are her own making sure their needs are met while giving lots of play time and cuddles. She even got my extremely timid cat to take her medicine twice a day- an amazing feat!! Her updates and communication were thorough and put me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to everyone in the area and will be booking her for my future pet sitting needs.

Emily is a godsend! She was flexible with fitting us in with a few last minute walks and she always goes the extra mile to take care of our dog.

Emily did an amazing job taking care of our dog and loving her as her own. She took the time to get to know our dog's needs and preferences, and communicated clearly and professionally. Thank you, Emily!
