I mainly care for pets in your home since I have my own dog at home. I’m happy to help maintain your regular routine to keep your pets happy and safe!

Information Emily T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there's anything specific I should know about your dog, such as reactivity, anxiety, or medications they take. My own pup is leash reactive so I am very comfortable handling dogs who struggle with this as well. For cats, feel free to let me know if your furry friend likes to hide or may be a bit shy!

A typical day

I like to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and make sure your they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! For dogs, that can mean walks, outdoor time, and lots of affection depending on their energy level and personality. I’m happy to keep up with your pet’s usual routine, whether they’re an energetic puppy who loves to play or a senior dog who prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles. For cats, I make sure they have a calm and comfortable environment with playtime, treats, affection (on their terms!), and lots of check-ins throughout the day. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Emily! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life with lots of experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with many different breeds of dogs and cats and now have a dog of my own who I adore. I’ve dog and cat-sat for many families in my hometown. I’m happy to do walks, playtime, feeding, or just spend time with your pet while you’re away! I treat every pet like my own and would just love the opportunity to spread the love to your best friend!

Emily was great! Lots of pictures, updates, and play time. Very respectful and communicative - I wouldn’t hesitate to have her come help again.

Emily did such a great job with my cat, Juniper!!! I loved her little narratives of the visit and all the pictures. Would happily book her again!

Emily was AMAZING! She was super communicative and went above and beyond with watching my cat! I was hesitant to leave him with a stranger, but after this weekend, I am happy that my special guy was in such good hands. Absolutely will try to rebook with Emily for any pet sitting needs moving forward 🩷🩷

Emily has watched my dog Jackson for several years while I've been out of town and has been fantastic. She is patient with him as he can be slow to warm up to people and he always seems comfortable with her. I appreciate the regular updates and photos. Highly recommend her!
