Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly neighborhood crittersitter
Hi! I’m Emma and I’m here because I love making animals happy. I grew up in the house where all the neighborhood dogs come to play, or to stay while their families are out of town. This led to me pursuing pet-sitting and animal care in my teens and at one point, providing full-time walking services for a highly-rated Baltimore agency. I have extensive experience with animals with behavioral quirks and anxiety. I take an empathetic approach with all animals; I aim to understand them as an individual being with specialized needs, histories, and perspectives. I have a 7-year-old Goldendoodle of my own, Tommy, as well as three amazing cats, Max, Toots, and Ham (scroll down on my profile for photos!) I understand how much it takes to trust someone with your pets, and I’m very grateful you’re considering me! Thanks for checking out my profile. I can’t wait to meet your canine, feline, or otherwise non-human companions!

Safety, trust & environment
Courteous, clean, cautious, and communicative, I will tend to your pet’s individual needs and routine, and then some. I aim to keep you and your pets happy and calm, and keep your home tidy in the process. I’m the dog walker / pet sitter who will bring in your packages, sweep around the litter boxes, and send you a zillion pictures — it’s what I would want for my home and my babies.
Ratings and reviews
Emma is very communicative and reliable, my shy senior cat also seems to be very comfortable with her!
Emma is very communicative and my senior cat who can usually be pretty shy was very comfortable around her! I’d book Emma again in the future!
Thank you Emma, you’re the best. My cat Finn loves to see you and always appreciates your company ❤️
Emma is simply the best! Our cats love her. She is very responsible, and always keeps us informed and sends great photos too. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for everything!!! Emma has helped me out so much. When I travel, when I had surgery. She's amazing and I'll forever use her.
Emma is such a wonderful sitter for our cats. She sends pictures and updates, and was even able to cover an extra day at the last minute when we had travel delays. 5 stars!

Schedule
After working (read: burning out) in retail management for years, I made a career change in 2022 when I returned to pet care in an independent, full-time capacity — and I’ve never been happier. My best availability is weekdays from 9-5, but I will always consider (and hopefully accept!) requests for other days and times. Please reach out!
