Loving & Compassionate Care-Taker

Pet care experience

I'm an energetic and loving care-taker and dog-walker. I'm happy to take your pup to the park or stay in and cuddle with your kitty. I have experience with house-sitting in addition to doggie care-taking. I'm happy to take on additional responsibilities including plant watering and collecting mail. I own my own rescue kitty so I know the importance of taking care of your best friends; we've gone through some hard times as well. In addition to my experience with pets, I'm a recent VCU graduate with my Master's in Social Work. I grew up in Charlottesville so I know the area well. I have full-time availability and would love to meet you and yours! Message me if you'd like to learn more!

Emily is fantastic. She house sat my 2 large dogs, in my home. Not Only did she take great care of my pups, she also kept my house tidy, and looked after. There were some unforeseen circumstances while I was away, and Emily went above and beyond. My fur babies loved having her and I was super thankful for her thoughtfulness and genuine care for the well being of my pups. I feel 100 confident in recommending Emily to care for your animal family!!

Emily is a rock star! My dogs adored her. She is clean, flexible, respectful, punctual and communicative. She stayed in my home with my 2 high energy dogs, a hunting dog and pit mix, for 4 days while I was out of state. She put my mind at ease by sending pictures and checking in at regular intervals. I would definitely have her sit for my pups again!
