Safety, trust & environment

I always take time to create a connection with an animal before rushing into a walk or playtime, especially when coming onto their turf. I love to get acquainted with their favorite toys and treats to ensure there is time to warm up to each other. I live in an apartment building with my cat, Benji. If overnight care is needed in my home, I am open to boarding cats only (unfortunately dogs in his space would make him too anxious!). He is very friendly with other cats, and I can keep them in separate rooms if either animal shows signs of stress.

Information Emma C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requests ahead of time that I need to account for. It would be helpful to know if they have any favorite toys, favorite places to walk or favorite parks! Also would be helpful to know how they interact with other dogs.

A typical day

We will explore all the best smells and sights around my neighborhood, go for walks by the lake and around my neighborhood, and run around at the dog park near my apartment!

Caring and responsible animal lover

Pet care experience

As an experienced and dedicated pet sitter, I bring a lifetime of passion for animals to every furry friend I care for. I began volunteering at shelters to play with and care for cats at the age of 10, which is around the same time I became the neighborhood dog sitter! With over 16 years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of pets, from pups and cats to guinea pigs and fish. Whether it's daily walks or cuddles, your pets are in capable and caring hands. As a cat mom to my sweet Benji, I understand that your fur babies are family, and I'm here to ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away.

Emma cared for my kitty like one of her own! Always punctual & kept a regular schedule which helped provide stability/soothing. Grateful for the adaptivness and attentiveness she brought to the logicstics side of things. On top of all that she’s an excellent photographer and captured the best photos every day!!
