Making Tails Wag Since '98

I’m Emily, and I’m the go-to person among my friends for pet-sitting. I grew up with dogs and cats, so taking care of animals feels like second nature to me. I’ve got a sweet cat of my own, and I absolutely adore her. I work in an office five days a week, but I’m available to check on pets before 8 AM and after 5 PM during the week, as well as on weekends. Whether you need someone for playtime, cuddles, or just to make sure they’re fed and happy, I’ve got it covered. I know how important our furry friends are, and I treat them like family. Let’s chat about how I can help make your pets feel at home when you’re not around! 🐾

Emily did an incredible job taking care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is quite reserved and takes a while to warm up to new people, but Emily handled her with utmost care and patience. We would definitely book her again!

Emily was great! This was her 2nd time walking Riley, and it went much smoother. Riley has really taken to her. Emily was prompt, courteous and made Riley smile!

This is the third time Emily has helped with my 120 lb Great Pyrenees while I’m out of town. She’s so great and patient with him! And she makes the process so easy for me and gives me peace of mind when I need to be out of town. Can’t recommend enough! Thanks Emily!

Emily took such amazing care of my stubborn old dog for a week while I was out of town and paid such attention to make him feel comfortable and open up. Even after I got back I could tell he was looking for her on our walks. Great care, amazing communication all week - thank you Emily!!

House Sitting • Apr 02, 2018

Emily was quick to respond to our request. We were heading out of town and needed a sitter on short notice and she was more than happy to help us out. Max was completely comfortable with her during the meet and greet and she did well handling a 100 pound dog who can tend to be a little exuberant when guests arrive. We checked in a couple of times and were re-assured that Max was doing well. She also sent a pic the first night we were out which is always great to receive. I would recommend Emily to anyone who needs a responsible dog sitter who can take even a big dog out for some exercise. Max loved her and gives his approval also.

Schedule

Working in an office five days a week, I’m available to care for pets before 8 AM, after 5 PM on weekdays, and on weekends, making it easy to fit pet care into my routine. Throughout the day, I'll keep you updated with messages, photos, or videos, so you can feel connected and reassured that your pet is in good hands. By weaving pet care into my remote work routine, I ensure that your furry friend receives the attention, care, and companionship they need to thrive. If there are specific preferences or adjustments you'd like, feel free to let me know!

understanding your pets is key to providing the best care possible. Before I start, it would be helpful to know: Routine and Habits: What's their daily routine like? Regular feeding times, favorite play activities, and any specific habits they have. Health Considerations: Any health issues or dietary restrictions I should be aware of? Medications or special care needed? Comfort Zones: Do they have a favorite spot to relax or hide when they need some quiet time? Social Interaction: How do they usually behave around new people or other animals? Are they more independent or do they crave attention? Emergency Contacts: Just in case, it would be good to have contact information for their vet or any emergency contacts you trust. Feel free to share any other details you think would help me make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible! ?
