Safety, trust & environment

I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life, & sadly our last family dog passed away a few years ago. Since I was in the middle of moving at the time, I haven’t welcomed another dog of my own yet. That experience deepened my understanding of just how much our pets mean to us. They’re part of our comfort, and our family. Because of that, I deeply respect the trust involved in leaving them in someone else’s care. Looking after other people’s pets has genuinely brought me a lot of fulfilment. I’m very comfortable following established routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or simply recognising when a pet needs play, reassurance, or space. I understand how important stability is when their parents (you) are away. I know how important peace of mind is when you travel. I’ll treat your home & your fur family with the same care, respect, & attentiveness I would my own. :)

Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any preferences or needs your dog or cat has. I will be more than happy to make them feel most comfortable and special!

A typical day

I love to engage, entertain, stimulate and nourish the physical and mental needs of pets. I love how special and unique each one is and really sparking that twinkle in their eyes.

I WFH = constant care & ♥️

Pet care experience

I am able to provide constant care. Sometimes I like to take a gym break for 1-2 hrs. I’ve cared for dogs & cats my entire life & am confident managing daily walks, feeding schedules, & medication where needed. I’m particularly comfortable maintaining established routines & providing a calm, steady presence for pets who may feel unsettled while their owners are away. I’m also organised, always respectful when it comes to home care & I’m mindful of neighbours & building environments. Above all, I’m dependable & take seriously the trust involved in caring for both a home & beloved pets.

Emily was amazing and the best sitter I’ve had! She’s sent so many pictures and gave so many updates I knew the dogs were in great hands. You can tell she really loves dogs. Will definitely be working with her from now on!

Emily is a gem!! If you find her your dog will be so spoiled and well taken care of. We have an older dachshund with lots of special needs and she did a fantastic time making sure she was well loved. She is our go to pet sitter! ;)

Emily was fabulous! She stayed with our two labs for two nights while we were out of town for a kids sports event and she was truly a joy. She loved on our pups, was highly communicative, sent lots of pictures and left our house in pristine condition. Would absolutely call her again in needed!
