Alongside my full-time internship, I make plenty of time for pet care because spending time with animals is truly one of the best parts of my week. I’m available for drop-ins and walks after work on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and I keep my weekends open for anything from quick visits to full-time sitting. Whether it’s a short walk, playtime, or overnight care, I’m happy to fit your pet’s needs into my routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of outdoor time for exercise and play, and of course, lots of love. I’m big on scratches, snuggles, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. My goal is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel safe, happy, and at ease while you’re away.

Information Emma D. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know any special requests or restrictions your pet may have, as well as their unique routines, likes and dislikes, and behavioral tendencies. Every pet is different, and the more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy with plenty of fun activities! Whether it’s going for a walk around the neighborhood, exploring a nearby trail or park, or playing a good game of fetch, I’ll make sure your pet gets the exercise and stimulation they need. And for the snuggle bugs, I’m just as happy to curl up, relax, and enjoy some cozy cuddle time. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level so they feel loved and content.

Your pet’s new best friend

Pet care experience

I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and each one has taught me something new about love and loyalty. Recently, I’ve also discovered a special love for cats—their unique personalities and quirks make every visit fun and rewarding. Whether it’s providing extra patience for a senior pup, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or giving cats the comfort and attention they deserve, I pride myself on tailoring my care to each pet’s individual needs. Your furry family member will always be safe, loved, and treated like my own.

Emma was great! Followed instructions and the dogs seemed to really like her. Couldn’t thank her enough for being so good with them!

We had Emma stop in for an afternoon check-in and she was awesome. Our dog loved her!

Emma spent three days with my 11yo dog Ginger at my house and Ginger was very well taken care of. She seemed very happy and content when I got home. Emma has a very friendly loving personality I would highly recommend her to anyone. I will definitely use her services again!

Emma was fantastic with our three Dachshunds and one Bernedoodle. She was so nice and really enjoyed herself as well. A True Dog Lover. The next time we are in Vermont, we will definitely take advantage of Emma‘s dog sitting services again. Kathleen M.
