Only The Best Dog & Cat Care!

Pet care experience

I am a pet-lover from a pet-loving family. I’ve had dogs, cats, horses, and fish as pets my entire life! I’m compassionate, punctual, reliable, and flexible and I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have a full-time WFH job, which gives me ample opportunities to take pups outside throughout the day. I have house and have pet-sat for many dogs anywhere from a puppy to an adult, as well as cats of all ages. I don’t currently have a pet in my home, so I love getting to care for, play with, walk, and love on other people’s fur babies in the meantime! I can accommodate to make sure all your fur baby’s needs are met. I’m comfortable with pets who have specific dietary needs or need special attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my home. You can trust that your baby will be well cared for! My house does have stairs, but the main level is where the living room, dining, and kitchen are, so I am still able to care for dogs with any mobility issues. No fenced yard. I live close to many WDM walking paths, so both short and long walks are easily possible! I can come house sit if your pet prefers the comfort of their own home. I want your pet to be happy and comfortable - they are welcome on my sofa, carpet, and beds if you allow them to. I take caring for an animal very seriously, so if there are any concerns please let me know. I’m happy to do a meet and greet with you and your fur-child before booking!

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your specific expectations of me as a sitter, as well as any allergies, personality traits, or behavioral issues of the pet up front. If your fur baby needs any special accommodations or needs medicine, we can arrange that.

A typical day

I love going on walks along the Jordan Creek trails! The local library also has a nice walking path that I utilize. I can be as active or relaxed as the pet and the owner prefer! If permitted we can play fetch, tug of war, laser pointer, or cozy up on the couch for a movie!
