Availability

I'm currently in a flexible post-grad transition and actively job searching, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pet care. I respond quickly and keep communication clear so you always know how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I'm able to give pets plenty of undivided attention, so they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to create a low-stress environment for both pets and owners. I always follow instructions closely to maintain a normal routine. In a client's home, I keep things clean and secure. I prioritize safety on walks and during playtime, and make sure pets feel comfortable and settled before leaving.

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

Before a visit, I like to learn about your pet's routine, personality, and specific needs. This includes feeding schedules, medical needs, behavior quirks, and triggers. I make sure to understand their leash behavior, house rules, favorite toys and activities, and any boundaries to maintain in your home.

A typical day

With dogs, we usually enjoy a neighborhood walk, time outside, and play with their favorite toys to keep them active and happy. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and downtime so they feel comfortable and cared for. With cats, I play with their favorite toys, cuddle them, or simply keep them company nearby depending on their mood.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Emily! I have loved animals as long as I can remember, and I understand the need to provide them with the best care possible. I grew up with cats, and three years ago adopted my beloved corgi. I treat every booking like I'm caring for a family member. Whether I'm walking, feeding, playing with, or just keeping your pet company, I make sure they feel safe and cared for. I've built long-term relationships with repeat clients through reliable communication and consistent care. I always provide updates with some cute pictures so you know how your pet is doing :) I'm especially comfortable with dogs that need structure and consistency, or pets that are a bit shy or anxious at first. I pay attention to their behavior and often find that we become best friends by the end of the visit. If you're looking for someone dependable, responsive, and caring, I'd love to meet you and your pet!

Emily was responsive, responsible, and punctual. My pup Hunter took an instant liking to her. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again!

Emily was fantastic! She always arrived on time to feed my cats, followed all of my instructions carefully, and was incredibly reliable throughout the entire booking. She went above and beyond to make sure my two cats had a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while I was away. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely hire Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
