Loving, Compassionate, and Patient

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!

It was a joy to have Emily come to our home and take loving care of our two little pups for three days. She clearly charmed the pups and they were sad to see her leave. She was prompt, communicated beautifully with words and photos, and took meticulous care of the house. She medicated, fed and walked the pups as instructed, and spent quiet time with them. I highly recommend Emily and will use her services often in the future.
