Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, experienced, common sense
Your home or mine! I have raised goats, llamas, horses, cattle, chickens, turkeys, dogs, cats and bunnies. I have much experience with different breeds, medication administration, and my demeanor is calm and patient. I live on 8 acres of peaceful, quiet fields and forest. My schedule allows me to spend much time with my guests and I thoroughly enjoy going on long walks on trails and swims in the river. I am also located by many local inns and am happy to care for your pet while you are at dinner, off exploring, or are unable to bring your dog.
Cat care experience
Emily also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
We were so lucky to find Emily to care for our dog, Sonny, while we hiked the Lake of the Clouds Hut in August. From the moment we arrived, we knew he was in the best hands. Emily has a warm, welcoming home with plenty of outdoor space for dogs to play and explore. She took Sonny on walks, played ball with him, and even brought him swimming—which he loved! Emily kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Sonny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we would absolutely trust Emily with him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.
Penny took incredible care of my Australian shepherd, Mystic! Mystic went for fun walks in the woods, Penny communicates really well and sent photo updates which I loved. I wholeheartedly recommend her
Our pets are intrinsic family members. Finding someone trustworthy, I feel safe with, to petsit, is very important to me. My Smokey, basset hound, spent a week with Penny in her home over the holidays and was very well taken care of. I could sense Penny’s love of animals immediately upon arriving at her home and meeting us. We received photos and updates daily of Penny & her family enjoying Smokey’s company. They took daily walks in the snow, played, cuddled for movies , and he blended right in. All instructions on food & care were followed to a T! I could tell Smokey was well loved and that made my travels less anxious and more enjoyable. Smokey was happy to see me upon my return, but I could tell he had snugged his way into Penny’s heart & home very comfortably! I will definitely be connecting with Penny when I need to travel, but not able to bring my pets with me. Penny cared for Smokey as if he was her own loved pup ! I highly recommend Penny as a petsitter !
Penny (Emily) is an amazing pet owner and all around animal lover. I have known her for over 20 years and have seen her manage and love everything from cows and horses to ducks and especially her beloved dogs. She is a genuine animal lover on top of being an extremely trustworthy, hardworking and dependable person. I think my cat wishes that she were walking through the door instead of me. Your animal is in the best care if Penny is taking care of them.
I know her as Penny and have known her for many years. I have had 2 German Shepherds over the years and they always traveled with me. When I go to my brothers Penny got to know my girls really well. They both loved her. Penny would come to my brothers house when ever I needed someone to that care of my kids. She wasn't afraid to give them their meds. The only way was down the throat. They weren't afraid to let her do it because they trusted her. My last girl was almost 11years old. Penny took care of her for me. 1 month later Penny found out we lost her. I will be getting another one and when needed Penny will be there for me.

Schedule
I work part time, and I work close to home so I am able to run home if need be. On work days, generally I am not away from home more than 5 hours at a time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am not by any major roads and live on a quiet deadend road. my home is situation in the middle of my 8 acres. There are fields, a small pond, and woods with trails, and extensive gardens. Dogs are always leashed unless I know the dog incredibly well and its recall to me is flawless. If the dog is outside, I am with it. No runs are used. I love to walk on woods trails and I avoid places where I might run into others with dogs. My primary concern is keeping animals safe, calm, active, and happy. My your adult daughter lives with me and is also a well respected pet sitter so we often serve as each other's back up should one need to leave the house.
