Pet care experience
As a kid, I raised multiple litters of kittens and raised them well into adulthood and volunteered for a senior cat shelter as an adult. This includes cats with temperament issues as I have experience with capturing feral cats.
Reviews
As always Emily was amazing— took care of food, water, litter, meds, and even cleaned up a few barfs! The pics she gets are always amazing as well.
This is our second time having Emily take care of our cat. She does a great job of getting to know him and his habits. We will definitely use her services again!!!
Emily is the best. She takes such great care of our kitty while we are away. She is also super easy to work with and very responsive. Highly recommend!
Emily is amazing! I always feel so comfortable leaving my fur baby with her when we go out of town. Our kitty gets lonely when we are gone and Emily is sure to give her lots of love, pets, play time, and treats❤️

I volunteered for a senior cat shelter for two years with cats with multiple complex health problems and temperament issues. I can administer oral medications and keep track of specialized feeding schedules and nutritional needs. I'm not afraid of getting scratched!
Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
Does you cat or cats have special dietary requirements ie. prescription food or supplements? Does your cat have litter box issues such as defecting outside the box or a preference of cat litter? How is you cat's temperament? Do they have particular spots that they do not like being touched? Do they need oral medication? What is your cat's favorite toy or area to play in?
A typical day
I make sure cats get playtime with toys to stimulate and to put them at ease. Cats need just as much love and attention as any dog does which is why I spend time brushing and getting to know a cat to build an understanding with a cat.
