Safety, trust & environment

I do not currently care for pets in my home as my mother runs a daycare, and pets around children can be unpredictable and a lot of the littles are allergic.

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

If your animal has any allergies, medical conditions, or medication that needs to be administered throughout the day. As well as any restrictions you have for the home.

A typical day

A typical day would entail going outside for potty breaks and playtime, whether I am there for a drop in visit or an all day/evening visit. I will watch the animal's behavior to discover their favorite toy and how they like to play. As well make sure they are eating well and getting their favorite treats throughout the day.

Pets

You leave the pet, I love them

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs and cats my whole life and my love for them has only grown stronger. My goal is to take care of your pets like they are my own, by providing them with care, attention, and love. In addition, I have recently received a certification from IAP career college through a pet sitting course. I can provide basic services like feeding, taking to the bathroom, scooping litter boxes, bathing, taking to the groomers, walks, checking the mail for you, putting garbage bins to the street, and watering plants.

Emily was absolutely hands-down the best sitter we've ever hired. She was amazing at being punctual for our daily drop-ins, and keeping up daily communication to let us know how things were going. We have a special needs cat that needed extra attention and a long to-do list that comes with the job, and she handled it so easily and professionally! I would highly recommend to anyone with high anxiety about their pets!

Emily is our favorite sitter ever! She cares for our girls so well, sends the best text and photo updates and makes sure everything is taken care of before leaving.
