Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal loving city-dweller
I grew up in a home with dogs—sometimes two at a time—so I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. From 2021 to 2023, I regularly house-sat and looked after a large dog in the city while working from home, typically spending 2–3 days a week with him. That consistent, hands-on experience deepened my understanding of daily pet care routines, from long walks to feeding, playtime, and companionship. In more recent years, I’ve also become a trusted cat-sitter. Both of my last two roommates had cats, and I cared for them anytime my roommates were away—making sure they were fed, happy, and comfortable in their home environment. I genuinely love animals and take pride in being both responsible and attentive. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior pet needing extra care, or a shy cat that needs patience, I bring a calm and caring presence to every visit.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I would in my own. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime preferences, or administering medication. I’m attentive to their habits and needs, and I do my best to create a calm and consistent environment while you’re away. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and notes so you know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. My goal is to offer peace of mind while you’re away and to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and loved in their familiar surroundings.
Ratings and reviews
I never have to worry about Jasper with Emma, she takes great care of him, is a great communicator and treats my apartment like her own. Jasper loves when she stays with him!
Emma took great care of our two senior cats for an overnight stay. They were so relaxed when we got home. Would recommend her to anyone friend!
Emma was great! Communicative, clean, and gave jasper the best love and care.
Emma was great, she was a lifesaver taking care of our Frankie who can be difficult. So grateful we found her!
Emma was super responsible and caring with our very old dog and two cats. That included some medication, dealing with a couple of accidents and a few more walks than usual. She left our apartment in better shape than she found it and even washed her sheets. We’ll consider ourselves lucky if she’s available next time the pets need a sitter
Emma was great and looked after our puppy for a few hours while we were out. Quick and straight forward communication. We have her coming back again this week. I know Roxy will be excited to see her!

Schedule
I currently work full-time in Manhattan, so my availability is best suited for early morning, evening, and weekend care. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, I work Monday through Friday, and from September through May, my schedule shifts to Tuesday through Saturday. While I’m not available for midday walks during the week, I’m happy to accommodate early morning or evening visits, and I’m often available for weekend walks or extended house-sitting with advance notice. If you and your pet are comfortable with me being away for 8–9 hours during the day, I’m also available for overnight stays during the week. I always do my best to communicate clearly and ensure your pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for in your absence.
