Hey y’all! My name is Emily and I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I became a vegetarian in 4th grade because of my love for animals, and since then I’ve spent summers volunteering at animal shelters, pet sitting, and walking dogs for neighbors and friends. I grew up with pets of my own, including two dogs, and I truly miss being around animals now that I can’t currently have one myself. That’s part of why I love pet care so much! Spending time with animals genuinely makes me happy! I’ve always said that if I wasn’t going to be a teacher, I would want to do something with animals! I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable with everything from energetic walks and playtime to shy pets who just need calm companionship. Whether your pet wants adventure, cuddles, or routine care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away!
