Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Sitter Available for Your Furry Friends! With 15 years of pet sitting experience and a deep passion for animals, I am here to provide top-notch care for your pets. My background includes working on farms with livestock, as well as roles in a doggy daycare, grooming salon, and vet hospital. Growing up in a family that owned a vet hospital, I gained extensive experience with all kinds of animals, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Currently, I have two elderly dogs, including one with seizures and thyroid issues, so I am very comfortable administering medications and caring for special needs animals. Whether you have a large breed or a small one, a cat, or a dog, I am equipped to handle their unique needs with care and expertise. If you’re looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable pet sitter who truly loves animals, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Emily did a great job looking over Casper! She was very attentive during our meet and greet to best address Casper’s needs during my week long trip. Would be happy to rebook again and work together soon!
