Pet care experience

Avid animal lover

Hello! I’m an experienced and dependable pet lover with a background in both professional animal care and hands-on pet ownership. I currently have four dogs of my own and regularly pet sit for friends and coworkers, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets! I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic, where I cared for pets boarding for medical reasons and gained experience administering medications to both dogs and cats (pills, liquids, sprays, and injections). I’ve also worked at a dog kennel, managing daily care for 20+ dogs and cats at a time, including feeding, cleaning, and walks—so I’m very comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Additionally, I was a puppy raiser for a service dog organization, where I raised two dogs for service work—one of whom became a guide dog. I later became an Area Coordinator, mentoring other puppy raisers, organizing training sessions, and helping ensure puppies stayed on track with their medical, developmental, and socialization needs. I’ve also worked at a pet store where I cared for a wide range of animals including fish, reptiles, and rodents, handling everything from feeding to habitat cleaning and basic health care. Professionally, I’m a wildlife biologist, so I’m very comfortable handling animals and paying close attention to their behavior, safety, and well-being. I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care during weekdays and weekends. I love being active, going on walks, and spending quality time with pets—whether that’s playtime, going on a walk, or just keeping them company in their own home. I’d love to meet you and your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I love detailed care guidance when caring for pets and am happy to follow all instructions provided when watching your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own and I love to keep owners updated on the health and wellbeing of their pet while it is in my care. I share lots of photos and am happy to meet with you before beginning a service to assure that I understand your pet and their specific needs. I’m happy to assist with other small tasks while visiting your home (i.e., taking in the mail, trash cans to the curb, water plants, etc) as a part of my visit.

Emily took fantastic care of our cats and rescue pigeon! We really appreciated that she was observant and asked about unusual behaviors to make sure everything was okay while taking care of our pets. We enjoyed our vacation so much more because we knew our pets were under such excellent care when we were gone! We would be thrilled to have Emily take care of our pets in the future!

Emily was amazing! She was so attentive and detail oriented during the meet-and-greet. When she arrived she made sure to give me updates and everyday she sent multiple photos. I was nervous about booking a sitter but she was amazing and calmed all my nerves. I would 100% book her again and thank you Emily for your thorough care!

Emily did an excellent job with our dog. She took very good care of him, was always on time, and she was very responsive to messages. She also provided detailed updates with pictures. She is very reliable and we were very happy with the service.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received during our recent drop-in visits. Emily did an amazing job with our Hazel. I especially appreciated the detailed updates and photos after each visit. It's obvious that Emily is experienced and cares for animals.

Emily is wonderful with all my fur babies. I can tell how much they adore her and feel at ease during the time together. It makes being apart from them guilt and worry free!
