Availability

My schedule is pretty flexible since I do gig-based work, which allows me to adjust my day around pet care needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can be consistent with feeding, walks, and check-ins. If you are looking for weekly visits I would like to inform you that I will not be able to for a few weeks after I give birth but will resume care as soon as possible my due date is May 17,2026. So just please keep that in mind when trying to book for weekly visits. Thank you

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific care needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep everything clean and secure. I pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and body language to make sure they are comfortable and stress-free. Safety is very important to me, so I make sure doors are secure, pets are supervised, and they are always in a safe environment. I treat every pet like my own and make trust a top priority.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know any important details about your pet’s health, including medical conditions, allergies, medications, dietary needs, or behavioral quirks. It’s also helpful to understand their routine, energy level, and how they do with new people or other animals. I also like to know what you’re expecting during visits—whether that’s just feeding and giving attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, or administering medication. Every pet and owner has different needs, and I tailor my care to match exactly what your pet is used to so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

A typical day

I start the day by making sure pets are fed, comfortable, and have fresh water. We’ll go for walks, play fetch or indoor games, and do activities based on their energy level. I also give plenty of attention, cuddles, and potty breaks throughout the day. My goal is to keep them happy, safe, and relaxed while sticking closely to their normal routine.

Loving & Reliable Pet Care 🐾

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for pets growing up and I’ve always been the type of person who stops to help animals in need—whether that’s helping lost pets, feeding strays, or even rescuing small animals like birds, squirrels, and reptiles. What makes me different is the level of care and attention I give. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive to each animal’s personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always communicate clearly and make sure you feel confident and at ease while your pet is with me.

Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!
