Safety, trust & environment

I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal. During every visit, I keep an eye out for anything unusual, like changes in appetite or behavior, and I'll send plenty of photos and updates so you know how they're doing.

Information Emily P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special considerations, needs, or behaviors ahead of time. Please also share your vet information just in case!

A typical day

For both cats and dogs, I like to go with their flow! If your pet is super friendly and wants to snuggle or play I’m down for it. If they’re more solitary or skittish, I’m happy to spend time earning their trust and respecting boundaries.

Pets

Experienced pet caregiver 🐈🧡🐕‍🦺

Pet care experience

I’ve been pet sitting in DC and Maryland for the past 5 years and loving every minute! I’ve worked with everything from medically complex kitties to lap cats to scaredy cats, wheel-chair assisted dogs, older dogs who need a slower pace, reactive dogs who need patience, and happy-go-lucky pups. Outside of pet sitting, I have 2 cats of my own, Clover and Shiro, and a crested gecko, Draco, so animals are a big part of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed routines, giving meds if needed, advocating for your pet’s boundaries on walks, and adjusting to whatever your pet needs to feel safe and comfortable.

I was searching for a new dog walker and found Emily. My dog can be a bit apprehensive with strangers but not with Emily - he loved her on the spot! She’s a natural, super dependable, and very calm and confident with my highly energetic dog.
