Safety, trust & environment

My client’s animals receive the care they want to receive while primary humans are away. If they need someone to play and enrich, I’m there. If they just need a snuggle buddy to not get lonely or stressed, I’m also there. I am used to clients with complex feeding schedules or high needs pets, just let me know what and when your furry dependents need! For my safety as well as your big fur baby’s, I cannot walk large dogs who pull on the leash or who jump onto standing people.

Information Emma B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animals have any disabilities or quirks I should be on the lookout for ahead of time. I’m happy to administer medications for both dogs and cats with methods they’re used to but I need their guidelines.

A typical day

I feel like enrichment activities keep the stress and boredom away, they certainly do for me! I like to play with their favorite toys and give them their favorite treats as well as all the snuggles they want (and none if that want is zero)!

Caring for your furry dependents

Pet care experience

I grew up in 4H taking care of animals as one of my first chores. I had dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens/other fowl, mice, fish, lizards, and the sweetest sugar glider I trained to glide to me. I have experience with young animals as well as old with a range of disabilities and medical needs.

Emma was on time, great with communication, and took great care of our dog and cat :). We would not hesitate to have her back! It was so good to know our fur babies were safe and happy ~ we were able to enjoy ourselves and not worry!

I've seen her taking care of dogs, cats, rats, sugar gliders, and more. She knows what she's doing and if she doesn't she does good research. She's honest about her experience and doesn't pretend to know more than she actually does. More importantly, she listens carefully to pet owners and follows their instructions very well.
