Pet care experience

Owned by a Cat, Raised by Dogs

I'm a Cat parent to a senior Tortie, and grew up with an Australian Shepheard, Springer Spaniel, and a Mutt. I've been caring for neighborhood cats, dogs, snakes, rabbits, chinchillas, geckos, and the occasional bird for more than 20 years. I've taken 2 dogs through obedience training, and I'm happy to follow your lead to facilitate any training goals. (It makes my day too when they get it right!) I have experience giving medication in liquid and pill form to cats and dogs - and mask-style inhalers to cats. I'd also be comfortable administering other medication with some guidance. Very comfortable with larger energetic dogs who want to want to tug along a high speed walk, but just as happy to go slow for those who want to stop and smell every rose. I'm a lifelong cat lover and show that love through following your cat's cues. I give head pats, scratches, am great with a teaser wand but am happy to bring a book and just hang out for those looking to build trust with some quiet companionship.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will take good care of your pet and be respectful of your space while you're away. I know from my own pet how reassuring it is to get a few photos, and I'm always happy to send them along :)

Second time booking with Emily, she is very communicative and kind. I can tell from the photos and when I come home that my kitten is well taken care of and has bonded to her. I have absolutely no worries when I’m away!

Super grateful for Emily taking Fizz out twice in one day! I know he loved getting his walks in with her and I appreciated the updates!

Let me know if your pet has any special behaviors I should be keeping an eye out for. I'd also love to know how they best like to be petted so we can get off on the right paw :)
