Pet care experience
Native Seattleite looking for both couch potatoes and outdoor enthusiasts of all breeds. I've loved dogs since the first one I met (an Irish Setter named Tuck) and have been dog-sitting/walking on-and-off since I was 10 years-old. I've held a variety of different jobs in my lifetime, from wedding facilities manager to landscape designer, and in all of those jobs I've been awarded large amounts of responsibility - all of which I take very seriously. Safety and resourceful thinking in the case of emergencies are high on my list and I keep these two things heavily in mind when caring for pets. I consider myself very communicative and responsive and will always clarify on specific needs for your unique pup. :) Outside of the more defined responsibilities of pet care, I always, /always/ use positive reinforcement and am happy to help facilitate any training you're currently working on. I am also unwaveringly patient and am not embarrassed to get visibly and audibly excited for them when they do something right in training.
Reviews
Emily took excellent care of our cat while we were in Mexico for Christmas. We’ve hired her at least 5 times now! It’s so nice to have peace of mind while traveling abroad, especially when WiFi/cell service is spotty. Emily is reliable, kind, and consistent. Looking forward to working with her again in the future :)
Emily was extremely quick to respond and set up our meet and greet. She was prompt, sent detailed reports, and cute pics.
We hired Emily at least four times over the course of a couple months to watch our cat during 1-2 day weekend trips. Emily was always punctual, communicative, and professional. I hope we have the opportunity to hire her again in the future! I couldn’t recommend her enough. It’s so nice to know your pets are well taken care of while you’re away - so grateful to Emily for providing us that piece of mind.
Emily was a fantastic cat sitter and asked thoughtful and thorough questions during her intro visit. She was great with my older cat, who is very wary of people, and even got her to come out for some pets! She is very communicative, kind, and professional, and I look forward to booking her again.
About Emily S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can adhere to any current training protocols (crating, room limitations, etc). I’m very aware of closing and locking doors, leash handling, and general pet safety. :)
Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
Clarification and clear communication are very important to me. Let me know all of the details about your pet, from things to watch out for (like tendency to chew shoes) to behavioral tics (will bark at skateboarders). This helps me be prepared for anything that can possibly happen!
A typical day
A typical day can involve your pet in as little or as much as you’d like! If your pets are social, I can include them in my social life as well (breweries, nature walks, etc!)
Services
Emily can watch in your home
Availability
I’m self-employed, so my schedule is generally flexible! I have a large, fenced in backyard I can take your pup to for additional enrichment play. Generally speaking, I can drop-in every 4-8 hours.
