Highlights
Pet care experience
To love is to make one feel safe
I grew up taking care of my own pets and volunteering at a farm to get experience with large animals. As an adult, that love continued, and during college I worked off leasing a horse whilst pet sitting professionally under a company brand. For a time I also volunteered at an animal shelter while I considered becoming a vet tech. I have experience with a wide variety of animals including horses, chickens, snakes, cats, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and dogs! I also have experience caring for elderly animals both professionally and at home. ( My darling cat Princess lived until she was 21! ) That means I know how to give pills, ointments, and oral medication with a syringe. I have experience handling rescue cases and those that have been abused as well, though in that aspect I have more experience with cats. I believe in treating animals with kindness and understanding above all else. Safety and comfort is my number one priority for your pets!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
For all my clients I prefer to have guidelines set before a job. For example: how and when your pet gets fed, any medications they need, the things your pet likes, the things your pet hates, and what to do in case of emergency. I expect honesty when it comes to these things as it helps keep myself and your pet safe. Please, if your pet has trust or behavioral issues, let me know ahead of time! I'm happy to work with them so long as we stay safe together! Overnight stays I am happy to cuddle with your pet all night. I'm also happy to set alarms on my phone if your pet struggles to make it through the night without a bathroom break. I always pick up any animal waste on potty breaks or any accidents that happen in the house. If your pet loves to play, I'm absolutely delighted to get to play with them! It helps me bond with them and helps them trust me. I love playing with pets! I'm open to doing small things around the house on overnight stays as well. If your home has a washer / dryer and you let me sleep in a bed, I'll be happy to put the sheets in the wash on the way out, or I can simply bring my own bed supplies. I'm also happy to bring in the mail. I like to leave the home as it was upon arrival and am a cleanly house guest!
Ratings and reviews
I cannot say enough great things about Emily. She has been taking care of my dad‘s cat while he has been in the hospital for the last month. The cat is normally very shy, but just loves Emily! She keeps me informed on everything and genuinely cares about the cat. I highly recommend her.!
Emily has been a godsend. I am so lucky that I found her.!
Emily is wonderful! She took such great care of our older cat that we didn’t hesitate to book her again for our most recent trip. She gave us peace of mind while we were away, and it was clear our cat was well cared for and comfortable. We truly appreciate her reliability, kindness, and excellent communication. We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Emily has been doing a great job!, you can tell she really cares. And she is so easy to work with. I highly recommend her!
My dog is a challenge to deal with. Emily was able to provide exactly the service I needed, and as a result my pet(s) were alive and well when I returned from a 10 day family trip out of state. Emily communicated well, and was always in touch. I would recommend her and will use her in the future.
Emily was great! We have a cat with anxiety about being alone for extended periods, and Emily was wonderful with him while we were away. She sent us updates with pictures every day and was even kind enough to bring in our mail. Will be rebooking her again for our next trip.

Schedule
At home I have two cats named Noodle and Baby that are taken care of by the rest of the family when I'm away on stays - animals have always been a part of my life and always will be, so I say the more the merrier!
