Reliable Care & Happy Pets
Hi, I’m Emily—a dependable & attentive animal lover. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a calm, patient personality and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping a consistent routine while you’re away, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions, and I know how important updates and photos can be while you’re away from your pets. Outside of pet care, I have a professional background in accounting and 14 years of military service, which helped shape my strong sense of responsibility, organization, and trustworthiness. I also love gardening and spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to accommodate pets who enjoy walks, fresh air, and extra attention. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing loving, dependable care you can feel confident about!

Ratings and reviews
Emily is fantastic during weekly drop-in visits with my pups, Jax & Lola. She is reliable, attentive and caring, spending lots of time playing with them outside, as well as giving them plenty of treats, pets, and affection. She even went above & beyond and cleaned up a mess one of my dogs left on the floor. She is a gem and I’m so grateful for the care she provides to my fur babies.
Emily always does such a fantastic job with our animals! Recommend her to anyone!
I can't say enough how grateful we are to have met Emily. She did a wonderful job with our very active dog and cat. We couldn't have been happier with her. Highly recommended!
Emily is amazing with our puppy!! She has walked him multiple times now and is very reliable and spends such quality time with him! It is hard being away at work but I feel so much better knowing he has such a great time walking and playing with her. She sends lots of pictures of him having fun and gives us updates on how the day went :)
Emily is very thoughtful and detailed. She sent updates and photos so I knew my little sweetie was having a great time. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!
I have two large dogs with lots of energy. I can always tell when Emily has been there because they are so tired. She has really helped me out in a pinch, especially when I work long hours. We have used other dog sitters that I couldn’t even tell if anyone had been there because the dogs had as much energy as always. I used to come home to tables, chairs and even cabinets chewed up because the dogs have so much energy. She is amazing with them and I couldn’t recommend her more.

Schedule
My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week. I do my best to keep routines consistent and communicate clearly about availability and scheduling.
