Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat, dog, bird, and farm sitting
With 25+ years of pet care experience, including 15 years as a vet tech, I treat each animal as I would my own. I enjoy getting to know clients and their companion animals. I feel it is important for pets to have someone familiar taking care of them while their people are away. For this reason, I will usually ask to set up a meet and greet prior to the first booking. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience with small mammals (e.g. gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits), exotics (e.g. lizards, turtles, birds), and farm animals (e.g. chickens, horses, cows, sheep, goats). Whether exercising exuberant young animals, entertaining indoor cats, or just keeping them company so they don't miss you [as much], I'm there to be another one of their people! I look forward to meeting your animal companion(s) and learning more about their routine and requirements to keep them happy & healthy while you are away. You can expect to receive updates including photos while they are in my care.

Safety, trust & environment
My own yard is unfenced; I offer leashed walks and potty breaks in yard and/or on nearby trails. Due to respect for my 3 cats, I do not offer doggy day care or sitting in my home across the board. I have made exceptions for cat-friendly and low-key critters in the past. Find it generally works best to care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where I keep their regular routine going to the best of my ability.
Ratings and reviews
Emily took great care of our cat when we were away! She caught a mistake I had made with his medication instructions and made sure he got the correct dose at each visit. Emily sent updates and pictures and provided insight to some of his behaviors we’ve been trying to figure out. Would absolutely recommend emily to anyone looking for competent and compassionate cat care!
Emily was great with our dog! She took him for long walks and provided pictures and updates. My dog hopes to see her again soon!
Emily did a great job of watching over all of our pets while we were gone. She sent lots of photos and was very responsive. We'd definitely book her again.
Emily provided frequent text and photo upload updates and left the house immaculate. Definitely a rave!
Emily dog sat for our new five month old puppy and two cats. Our cats LOVED her and she left our house in great shape! Our puppy is very scared of new folks, especially in our house. We were so grateful for Emily's gentle patience with her. Will look forward to hiring Emily again!
Emily was amazing with our pups yet again! We hadn't been anywhere in a while but Frank our chocolate lab recognized Emily right away and was so excited to see her again! She was very attentive and it was nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing that our dogs were being well cared for.

- Let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs, allergies, diet restrictions, etc I can account for. As a veterinary technician, am comfortable working with many illnesses/disabilities. I can work with fearful or anxious dogs so long as you are working with them to help promote their comfort level with new situations. It's important to me your pet is happy & comfortable while you are away.
