Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pets in your home, I am detail-oriented and treat everything with respect and care. I follow instructions, leave things tidy, and ensure your furry fam feels loved and safe. I believe in leaving things better than I found them and treating others’ homes and pets the way I would want mine treated.

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

To make sure your pet gets the best care while I’m there, I love knowing all the details—feeding, meds, favorite games, routines, and little quirks. The more I know, the better I can make their visit or walk safe, fun, and stress-free.

A typical day

A drop-in with me is all about comfort, care, and connection. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, food if needed, and plenty of love and attention while I’m there. We might play, get some wiggles out, or just relax together depending on their mood. I’m attentive to their needs and routines, keeping things calm, positive, and safe. And I always leave your home just as I found it—or a little better. A walk with me is the perfect break in your pup’s day. I’ll make sure they get fresh air, exercise, and time to sniff and explore at their own pace. I keep things positive, calm, and safe while giving them the attention and companionship they need. When we’re done, they’ll have enjoyed a good walk and some happy company.

Pet care experience

They say to love what you do, right? So I figured, why not make a little extra cash doing something I truly love—because let’s be honest, four kids in ⚽️ isn’t cheap! I’ve been around animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to barnyard friends. These days, I share my home with an Italian Greyhound, two kitties, and my four lovely kids. I’m detail-oriented and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a nice long walk to burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air, or some playtime and snuggles, your furry fam will get plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away.

Emily is a great catsitter & my cat was very comfortable with her. Emily took care every detail and was communicative with updates, photos, and even a video. My kitty is in good hands with Emily!

Emily is amazing with animals, dogs, cats, horses, etc. I’ve seen the love and attention she gives her own and how happy my own kitty is to see her when she visits. I have had her take care of my kitty when I have gone on vacation and been very pleased with the care he receives. She likes to take her dogs out to let him run and takes him with her on her own runs. Emily is very responsible and trust worthy. I highly recommend her!

Emily has such a natural way with animals. I’ve watched her with her own pets, and it’s clear how much she cares. My [dog/cat] loved her drop-in visits—she’s attentive, gentle, and reliable!
