Highlights
Pet care experience
Here for walks, cuddles, belly rubs
With over 20 years of pet care experience, I’m excited to provide your furry loved ones with a safe, attentive home away from home. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, and exotics such as rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality, and I make sure to follow instructions carefully. I make a point of spending plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that means going for a long walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. Whether you’re looking for home visits, boarding, drop-ins, or daily walks, my goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your furry, beautiful best friend is in loving, attentive, and reliable hands while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Emily has cared for my two cats on several longer trips, and I always come home to happy, relaxed cats. She clearly loves animals and spends quality time with them, finding fun ways to keep them engaged. Not just a quick feeding and out the door. My cats are usually wary of strangers, but they trust Emily and love her, which says it all. I book her with complete peace of mind and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Emily was a fantastic dog sitter and super accommodating for my dog and his routine. He loves her and I'll definitely have her dog sit again for me in the future!
Emily has always lived with cats and dogs (and other animals, including pet rats) and loves them and cares for them to the extreme. Once, when I watched her pet rats, she gave me long detailed instructions for their care, brought me tons of fresh veggies and treats to feed them while she was gone (more than they could ever eat), and worried so much that they would miss her while she was gone. It was really sweet to see how much she loved her rats. She's the same way with all her animals. I have had Emily stay at my house multiple times to watch my dogs and cats while I was on vacation. I knew they would receive tons of love and great care and she kept me updated on everything daily. She's sweet, kind, responsible, and a true animal lover. She would make a wonderful pet caregiver for Rover.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a condo community that is amazing for walking and also has a communal back yard space. I have one friendly 4 year old dog named Pepper, and he loves other animals.

A typical day
I aim to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment so pets feel happy and secure while you’re away. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. I love walking and hiking - if your dog is an active pup I will gladly take him on plenty of sniff-filled adventures outdoors!
