Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Emma and I’m here because I love making animals happy. I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life. 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 5-year-old Goldendoodle of my own, Tommy, as well as three amazing cats, Max, Toots, and Ham. Thanks for checking out my profile. I can’t wait to meet your canine, feline, or otherwise non-human companions!

Emma took excellent care of my cat Will! She always left detailed reports of her drop in visits with great pictures. She was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. We will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we travel.

Emma was simply great! Communication was very easy, and our two cats had a great time with her. She sent a lot of really nice photos, and you could tell how relaxed Agapito and Mafalda were with her, and they also looked very relaxed when we got back after our short trip! I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!

Emma was, once again amazing, attentive, and affectionate to our two kitties! She always makes us feel at ease by sending pictures and updates, as well as thoughtfully cleaning up and taking care of any messes the cats make. Emma is our go-to cat sitter and we’ll definitely book her again anytime we go out of town. 😸

Availability

After working (read: burning out) in retail management for years, I decided to make a change. I’ve opened up my schedule for more walks and drop-in visits because it’s what brings me the most joy and fulfillment. I have morning and afternoon availability Monday through Friday, and offer night and weekend bookings on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out regardless - I would love to care for your pet if I’m available!
