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.

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 :)

Emily took incredible care of my shy and sweet dog, Luna. Even though I was across the country - I felt so safe knowing Luna was in Emily’s care. Emily kept me updated on all their outings and exciting friendship moments and left the place extremely tidy and clean. Would highly recommend Emily!

Emily is very sweet and my little Gigi was so happy when I arrived home, I could tell she was taken care of while I was gone.

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 :)
