Pet care is naturally woven into my daily and weekly routine because animals have always been part of my life. From afternoon walks and playtime to evening cuddles, I enjoy making space each day to meet their needs with love and consistency. Whether it’s feeding, walking, basic training, or just providing company, I prioritize creating a safe, happy rhythm for pets that blends seamlessly into my lifestyle.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of space for play, rest, and cuddles. I maintain their regular feeding schedules, provide enrichment, and ensure a safe, clean environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences—whether it’s feeding, playing or cozy snuggle time—so pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Information Emma H. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s unique needs and routines ahead of time. Please share details about feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medical conditions, medications, grooming needs, training cues, and comfort items. The more I know about their personality, quirks, and favorite activities, the better I can create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience tailored just for them.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged with activities tailored to their personality. For dogs, that might mean walks (if okay), fetch, training games, or park adventures (if allowed). For cats, I offer interactive play with toys, climbing time, or gentle cuddle sessions. No matter the pet, I focus on making their time enjoyable, stimulating, and comforting so they feel loved and entertained while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m a proud Aussie mom to Calcifer, who I’ve raised on my own since he was just eight weeks old. That experience gave me a deep understanding of puppies under one year—and a lot of patience for reactive or high-energy dogs. So if your pup’s a little wild, no worries here. I bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them settle while you’re away. I offer drop-ins and walks—whatever helps your dog feel safe, seen, and happy until you’re home. Think of me as their new favorite “Auntie Em,” who spoils them just enough. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing extra love and patience. With over 18 years of hands-on experience, I know every pet has their own personality and unique needs—and I treat each one like family. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel secure, loved, and happy while you’re away.

I might know Emma personally, but that doesn’t mean I trust my dog, nor my home with just anyone. Emma is one of the few people I know I truly trust to take care of my dog and all his wild tendencies. I can say that she has stayed in my house dog sitting, when my dog was a fresh puppy and now as a stubborn adult. She has been so respectful of my home and taken care of Temoc (my hairless Tasmanian devil) like as he was her own— with love and discipline. She is communicative with doubts and comments without being to overbearing. She is personable and wins your pups heart and people’s, cuz she really cares. And that is what I think is most important when trusting your four-legged friend with anyone.
