Pet care experience
I have experience watching and walking a wide range of dogs -- from Maybellene (pit bull/bull dog mix), to Sully (greyhound/lab mix, 9 y.o.), to Lola & Lemi (schnoodle sisters, 3 y.o.), and my family dog Edie (lab/dachshund mix, 6 y.o.). Besides my family dog, all these dogs were city dogs so I'm confident walking dogs around New York City. It's actually one of my favorite things to do. I love taking long walks around the city (Sully & I were even featured on a pet website during one of our long walks!) and taking trips to the nearby dog parks (Lemi & Lola love Thompkins Square Park!). I also have my own dog (Monie, a 2.5yo pit/staffy mix). I also have experience watching cats! I've done both drop-in visits and house-sitting visits with cats ranging from a months-old foster kitten to a one-year-old playful kitty to a mature feline.
Reviews
Best cat sitter in the biz!
My cat loves when Emily comes around to check on her 🤍 They are besties!
Emily is simply the best — excellent cat sitter and talented pet portraitist 📸 Little looks always looks forward to her time with her 😻
Emily was great with our kitty! She was kind and caring and kitty clearly settled into the routine after a few days. Emily also sent lots of photos and a daily summary of what she took care of. Would definitely recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer taking care of pets in their home environment so they are comfortable and confident while you are away. I know how to put on a variety of leashes and/or harnesses so your dog is safe on their walks with me.
Information Emily Z. would like to know about your pet
What is your dog's usual schedule for feedings and walks? How does your dog get along with other dogs? Do you have any tips for walks? As well as leashes you use, etc...
A typical day
I'm attentive to each dog's needs and the owner's requests. Every dog is different and requires different needs. I've watched dogs with strict dietary needs and dogs that require a lot of attention. I love taking dogs on long walks and visiting dog parks (if the dog is OK with this).
