Experienced pet owner and walker
Pet care experience
I grew up with 3 dogs and 2 cats in a NYC apartment, ranging in age, size, and activity level. I’ve learned how to meet each cat or dogs’ needs, be it exercise, attention, or mental stimulation in playtime. I genuinely love every pet I’ve met and find hanging out with them to be a lot of fun. As I am a student, I am home about 20 hours a day, and can give attention to any pets whenever I am home. Additionally, I am an avid runner and live in a wooded area - perfect for runs for high energy dogs or nice walks for older or less energetic dogs. I would love to host your cat(s) or dog(s) and to care for them while you’re away! I don’t have any pets, so your pet or pets would be the only ones in the home.
Reviews
Emma was awesome with our 14 year old Welsh Corgi. They went on walks, sent pictures, and Poppy was very happy and healthy when we got back from vacation. We would definitely use Emma again!
Emma was a wonderful dog sitter--super communicative, thoughtful, and responsible! 100% recommend.
Emma and Story seemed to be mutual good company for the three days they were together. Emma sent at least one picture per day, and imitated contact with us. Our plans changed so we picked up Story earlier in the day. When I let Emma know we were coming earlier, she indicated I could come in one hour, as they were out walking! Made my heart happy to know Story was getting a good long walk!
Emma was an absolute life saver! She really helped out when we were in a bind. She was super flexible and Jax loved her!

I grew up walking my family dogs in a city, and am very careful and watchful when they are out with me. I tend to walk dogs in my care in quieter, wilder areas with no cars and relatively few people and other dogs.
Home
Information Emma A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any medical needs, their energy / walk needs, and how they are with other dogs and people. I’m fine with basically any of the above but like to be conscientious of what is fun, fair, and comfortable for your pets!
A typical day
I have quite a few dog and cat toys and puzzles at my apartment to play with both post walk and when I’m out of the apartment for class. I also walk or run at least 5 miles a day, and would love to bring your pet along for as much of that as they’d like or even more for a higher energy pet!
