Availability
I am looking to pursue pet-sitting as my full-time job as I thoroughly enjoy getting to meet new clients and their lovely pets. I have a number of ongoing repeat clients, meaning that any new bookings would need to fit around these but generally I am very flexible.

Safety, trust & environment
I follow all instructions given to me. For example if your pet(s) are only allowed access to certain areas of your home, I will ensure that this is strictly adhered to. I take safety and security very seriously, as such I will not leave windows/doors open or leave any area of your property unlocked unless specifically asked to. When we meet, I will ask about your pet(s) usual routine so that I can keep them as comfortable as possible while you are away.
Information Emma H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioural issues so that I can cater to their needs and help them to be as comfortable with me as possible. If your pet requires medications at specific times, please let me know so that I can stick to your routine.
A typical day
I love to ensure pets have plenty of opportunities for play and that they have mental & physical stimulation. This could be playing games of fetch, sniffing out hidden treats or simple training exercises. I am more than happy to make up enrichment, where needed, to keep your pets occupied for the rest of the day. On walks we'll have lots of fun checking out all the sniffs & smells in a variety of nearby parks or fields! I am more than happy to drive your dog to a walk location they know and love, if this is preferred.

Pet care experience
Hello, I am Emma, a lifelong pet owner and dedicated animal welfare professional. I have 5 years professional experience working with a variety of animals in animal care environments (rescue centres, boarding facilities, wildlife hospitals, animal sanctuaries). I have a degree in wildlife biology where I studied animal behaviour and welfare and completed my own research project & dissertation in this subject area. I am extremely passionate about providing the highest level of care to animals and I endeavour to ensure every need they have is met. In my most recent role, I worked as an Animal Care Assistant for 1.5 years at a boarding kennels & cattery. I am experienced in handling a wide range of dog breeds, and no matter their size, I love them all! I have been pet-sitting since 2022, starting off part-time to fit around my work. I quickly realised how much I enjoy doing this, and have been pet-sitting full-time since the end of 2025! I find the flexibility compared to a standard 9-5 makes the workday so much more fun as no 2 days are ever the same. Getting to meet new furry friends and their lovely owners is just the best, I love connecting with people over animals and seeing the joy that pets bring to people's lives. I thoroughly enjoy working out what makes each animal tick and learning about their quirks (we all have them!) so that I can cater the care I provide to their needs. I devote myself to providing the best possible animal care so your fur babies will be in the safest hands. I have a love for all animals so I am happy to look after whatever breed/species your pet may be! Rest easy knowing that your pet will be cared for as if they are my own ❤️ Ensuring that your pet is happy and healthy is my top priority. In your home, I will respect your property and follow all instructions/advice given to me. Typical duties I will undertake while pet-sitting or dropping in for a visit are: feeding, watering, cleaning up any messes, litter tray cleaning, toilet breaks, welfare checks, play, and lots of cuddles!

Reviews
Emma picked up my dogs' care with extremely short notice and was fab. Both dogs were happy and no issues whilst she looked after them.
Emma looked after our two dogs while we were away, taking them out for their daily walks or just playing with them due to the heat. This was the first time anyone outside of our family had walked them, and it was clear from the updates and photos that they had an amazing time in Emma’s care. We were kept informed every day with messages and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care. Thank you, Emma!
Emma is so lovely and kind. My older cat isn't normally a fan of strangers but she liked Emma from the moment she came in. Emma looked after both of my cats how I would. Will ask Emma to look after then again.
Emma was great with our dog!
