Highlights
Pet care experience
Making their stay a holiday too ❤️
I’ve rescued and fostered so many animals over the years, so I’m used to getting to know different personalities and making sure each animal feels safe, comfortable and settled. My mum also has an 18-year-old senior rescue dog, so I understand that older dogs can need a little extra patience, care and attention, and that every dog has their own routine and needs. I have air conditioning throughout my home to keep your pets cool, comfortable and happy, even during the hottest summer days. I’ve also completed a pet first aid and CPR course and ive taken part in charity runs to raise money for animal shelters too, as caring for animals is something I’ve always been really passionate about. Most importantly, I want the dogs staying with me to genuinely enjoy their time here. I’ll keep them to their usual routine and give them lots of company, affection and attention, and make their stay feel like a little holiday rather than simply being somewhere while their owners are away. 🐾❤️

Ratings and reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emma was absolutely brilliant with my dog while I was away. I was a little nervous leaving him at first, but Emma made me feel completely at ease from the start. She was so caring, reliable and kept me updated, which was really reassuring. My dog clearly had a lovely time with her and was so happy and settled when I got back. You can tell Emma genuinely loves animals and really goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy and looked after. I honestly couldn’t recommend Emma enough and would definitely trust her with my dog again. Thank you so much, Emma! 🐶❤️
Emma has looked after my dog on numerous occasions. She is the best dog walker/sitter I could find. She cares so much for my dog and always goes the extra mile to make sure he’s happy and comfortable. Couldn’t sing her praises enough!
Emma was fantastic with Noodles! She sent regular photos and updates so I never had to worry, and it was clear Noods was happy and well looked after the whole time. She’s clearly great with dogs and easy to communicate with. Would 100% book with Emma again highly recommend!

Schedule
I work in the fitness industry and have very flexible working hours, with a lot of my work being online and from home. This means I’m able to spend lots of time at home and can easily fit pet care around my day. I’m able to give pets plenty of company, attention and affection throughout the day, while also keeping to their usual feeding, walking and sleeping routines. They are my number priority above all else in a day ❤️

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as I would my own, and if you were to ask anybody that knows me that would be that they were treated like absolute royalty 😂. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable and settled while they’re with me. I’ll always follow their usual routine and take the time to understand their individual needs, personality and any little things they’re used to at home. I’m very mindful of safety and will make sure they’re supervised, secure and never put in a situation that could cause them stress or harm. I’ll also follow any specific instructions from their owner, whether that’s around feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements or anything else they need. I want owners to feel completely comfortable leaving their pets with me, knowing they’re in a safe, caring home with plenty of company, attention and love. 🐾❤️

A typical day
The day starts off with a calm check-in, making sure everyone is settled and comfortable ready for her day ahead. I pay attention to their body language and behaviour as dogs communicate so much through their expressions, energy levels and little habits. For me their walk times are much more then just covering miles. I like to give dogs opportunities to sniff without being rushed along, explore and experience their surroundings at their own pace. For energetic dogs this may include longer walks, play and mentally stimulating activities. For older or less mobile dogs, the focus may be gentle movement, fresh air and keeping them comfortable and not over walking them. I always consider the dogs breed, age, temperament, fitness and individual preferences rather then taking the one-size-fits all approach.
