Safety, trust & environment

When meeting a pet for the first time, I am always aware of my demeanor and make sure to give them the space to approach me when they’re feeling ready. I keep a calm and patient demeanor to build trust with the new pet, and also make sure to find out if they have any favorite toys.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs to be aware of, along with medications and if there are certain methods or times necessary to administer them.

A typical day

When meeting a new pet, I like to find out if they have any favorite toys or activities they enjoy doing with their pet parent! I’m always open to dog parks, and enjoy going for walks as well.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for my adopted cat, Eggy, for the past four years, and he’s the sweetest part of my life. I’ve also looked after dogs, including a coworker’s dog while their family was away and my aunt and uncle’s senior diabetic dog. I’m patient, dependable, and calm, and I love being outdoors so walks, hikes, and playtime are always a win. In my free time, I enjoy working out, making pottery, and reading. ☀️

Emily was great! She took wonderful care of our dog and cat and sent updates throughout our time away. We appreciated her communication while staying at our house.

We had Emily stay at our home and watch our dog and two cats. She did a great job, she kept in contact and sent photos often. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her here again. Our dog was looking for her the next morning!

Emily was quite attentive to our little boys. We would have no hesitation asking her to watch our boys again

Emily did a great job with our dogs. She kept regular contact, sent pictures, and left the house spotless. We were very happy with Emily.
