Emily has been paramount in the community of medically complex animals. She is kind and nurturing. She makes animals feel safe and comfortable. I have and would trust her with my pup!

Every time Emmie comes to our home I know the dog is in safe hands! Her own dog has special medical needs, so I know watching our easy going healthy pup is a breeze. I trust her whole heartedly. I know she cares and loves her own fur babies with such ferocity, & that love transfers to all the pets she meets!

Emmie is a fantastic caregiver for anyone and everyone, including all animals. She has pet sitted for me numerous times over the years and my pets (including 3 bulldogs and a cat) were all huge lovers of her! In fact, she even got my grumpy cat to take a nap with her, which blew everyone’s mind since he is usually a huge grump. She’s incredible at what she does and I’d recommend her highly to anyone who has a pet that is in need of care and/or supervision.
