Information Emma H. would like to know about your pet

I suggest to schedule a meet and greet so that we can learn more about each other and the cat/dog's specific needs, personality and services requested.

A typical day

For cats, I love to arrange for both play time and snuggle time. If the cat is shy, my calm and patient personality can make them feel at ease. For active cats, we can arrange for a lot of fun playtime so that they can release energy. For dogs, I love walking and hiking and look forward to having some sweet dogs to accompany me while we sniff around the neighborhood.

Emma did a fantastic job with my two cats! They are usually shy with strangers but they loved Emma right away. Emma was professional, friendly, communicative, and sent detailed reports with great photos. Highly recommend!!

Emma is extremely responsive and takes great care of my kitty. She was able to accommodate my request on very short notice and help give my cat some extra love while he had a cone on, which eases my mind when I have to be out of town. I will definitely be hoping to have Emma back as a cat sitter again in the future!
