Pet care experience

Experienced & Attentive Dog Sitter!

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have nearly 7 years of dog sitting experience starting in middle school. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities and I pride myself on being extremely attentive, reliable, and detail oriented with every pet. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once including caring for up to five dogs for 7+ days, so I’m very comfortable with both longer stays in higher-energy households. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also provide consistent updates so you can feel confident and not ease while you’re away.

Emma has a lifetime of handling pets, particularly dogs. She is very good at caring for her dogs. She has also been a dog sitter for one of her neighbors handling an aggressive dog with no issue. She is a natural.

Emma is an incredibly responsible and caring pet caregiver. She treats every animal as if it were her own, paying close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be safe, happy, and well-loved in her care. Her reliability and genuine compassion truly set her apart. I highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.

I highly recommend Emma for pet sitting. She cared for my dog last summer and did a wonderful job. She was dependable, attentive, and clearly very comfortable with animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care.

Emma is an exceptionally caring person with a high work ethic and a great attention to detail. She will absolutely make sure that your pet is cared for and loved and will be returned back to you hopefully better than when you dropped them off!

Schedule

I’m a student at Virginia Tech with a flexible schedule, typically having at most two classes a day. Outside of class, I spent most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine makes it easy for me to incorporate walks, feeding, playtime, and check-in consistently. I’m able to adapt to each pets needs and schedule, whether that means early mornings, midday visits, or evening care.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a fence dog area, so dogs have a safe place to get outside and play. I’m very attentive and make sure pets are always supervised and cared for based on their specific needs and routines. I also keep owners updated regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.

A typical day

A typical day with me is structured, attentive, and centered around your dog’s needs. In the morning, I start with a walk and breakfast, making sure they get some energy out and stay on their normal routine. Throughout the day, I’m home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, and attention, whether that’s walks, enrichment activities, or just relaxing. I make sure they get regular potty breaks and stick closely to their usual schedule. In the evening, we’ll go on another walk, have dinner, and wind down with some calm time so they feel comfortable and settled. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away.

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I typically ask about their daily routine (feeding times, walks, sleep habits), any medical needs or medications, allergies, and dietary restrictions, and whether they are fully potty trained. It’s also helpful to know about any behaviors like chewing or biting furniture, separation anxiety, or other habits I should be aware of. I like to understand their temperament, how they are with people, other animals, and in new environments, as well as any triggers or fears. I also ask about their favorite activities, toys, and comfort items, along with emergency contact and vet information, so I can provide the best possible care.
