Pet care experience

A calming daytime house companion

I’ve been a lifelong cat owner and a go-to pet sitter for friends and family, trusted with extended dog care since I was 13. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, and I aim to make both you and your furry friend feel comfortable and well cared for. I also understand that having someone else in your home can bring its own anxieties. I’m just a normal woman—mom of two young kids and a healthcare worker—who takes that trust seriously. I like reality TV, 2000s emo music, genealogy, and I’m forever starting and abandoning craft projects. Consider me your stand-in bestie. I handle routine care including feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, brushing, walking, and administering medications to cats when needed. I enjoy getting outside with pets to play fetch in the yard or explore neighborhoods. Even better is a cozy lap snuggle on the couch. I appreciate a detailed run-down before meeting your pet: quirks, routines, preferences, and behaviors. The more I know, the better I can care for them exactly the way you do. You can expect plenty of photo and video updates for peace of mind. As a scrapbooker and millennial woman, I take photos very seriously and love capturing the perfect cute, funny, or frame-worthy shot. Need plants watered or a small task handled while I’m there? I’m happy to help with that too.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home as if it were my own and every pet as if they were mine. Safety is my top priority. I secure doors, gates, and any areas where pets could escape, and I carefully follow each owner’s instructions. I pay close attention to pets’ body language and behavior, adjusting my interactions to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide consistent supervision, and ensure pets feel secure and cared for at all times.

We are always so nervous leaving our cats at home when we travel but Emily made us feel so confident and comfortable that they were in the best hands! She was attentive to every detail we mentioned and really spent time with both cats. From the amazing updates and photos we received we could tell that our cats were happy and comfortable and so well taken care of. We would highly recommend Emily!
