Animal Lover Wants to Pamper Your Pets

Pet care experience

My name is Emily. I'm a teacher who lives in Austin and works in Pflugerville. I love dogs and cats and would love to help with long days away from home or weekend/vacation petsitting. I am available to stay in your home or to make visits during the day and evening. During the school year I am available primarily on weekends, but in the summer I have lots of time to spend with your dog or cat. I have a Blue Tick/Catahoula mix named Blue and a sweet cat named Celia. I've grown up with animals and love all breeds.

Emily is a wonderful sitter to my dog and cat. She is my "go to" choice whenever I need to leave town. It gives me such peace of mind to know Emily's got things covered at home and that the animals will be happy and cared for in my absence.

Emily was exactly what I hoped she would be: attentive to Sophie and Bailey, extremely trustworthy, and genuine. Her love for animals is obvious. I am thankful to have found her and will definitely reach out to her again.

Emily was great! Our pup can be a little high strung, and she hung out with him all weekend! We loved the pictures she sent and he was a very happy dog when we got back. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for someone to love their dog! Thanks Emily!

We love Emily! She is so good with our terriers, Maestro and Jazzy. Could not ask for a better sitter. Thank you Emily!

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences-I love being around different breeds and personalities. Because I have a dog that needs a good balance of activity, structure and love, I think the most important thing to know is what a dog's typical day is like so that his/her routine can be consistent while their family is away.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog As much as possible. I generally only have to do small errands or things around my own house on weekends and days off-the rest of the time I'll be spending with your dog! Extra house-sitting services Absolutely. I will take care of minor chores and will keep your house neat and tidy while I'm your guest.

Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs all my life. I've had a Poodle, two Labradors, and an English Foxhound. In 2013 my husband and I adopted Blue, a Blue Tick Hound/Catahoula mix. He needed a lot of love and training; we've learned a lot from him about how to be good dog parents.
