Gentle Care, True Service ❤️

Pet care experience

I have cared for many pets over the years, from neighbors’ dogs to my own pets. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, and even spent a summer volunteering at the local animal shelter.

Our pup, Scooter, seemed to have a great time! We could tell he was well loved and comfortable with Emily. Emily gave us lots of great updates and kept us in the loop of how Scooter was adjusting. We super appreciate her taking the time to care for our fur baby while we were away.

Emily and her boyfriend have been so wonderful in providing weekly care to my puppy. They are so kind, flexible, and truly care about the pup!

My dog is geriatric. He is also big and arrogant. Emily spoiled him for 9 days. How do I know, he come home even more demanding than when I dropped him off. I am exceedingly grateful for the care King received.

Information Emily V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how you care for your pet ahead of time and I will do my absolute best to replicate those conditions to ensure that they are comfortable.

A typical day

When I watch dogs or cats, I like to spend a lot of time playing with them or interacting with them. For dogs, I usually walk them around outside and play frisbee with them. Cats usually enjoy playing with a string toy or exploring the apartment. Overall, my biggest priority as a caretaker is making sure that each pet receives the one-on-one attention that they deserve!
