Availability
I am a PhD student and graduate assistant at Saint Louis University, and my schedule varies depending on the day. I can perform most of my work tasks from home and will communicate anytime I will be gone for more than 4 hours if your pet is not used to being alone. When house sitting, I live my life in your home while taking care of your pets. I always check for any conflicts before accepting a booking to make sure I can best accommodate your pets' needs. I am happy give you insight into what my schedule looks like during the duration of the booking to make sure this is works for the both of us.

Safety, trust & environment
I am organized, clean, and observant. While at your home, your pet's care is my top priority. I always make sure to leave no trace whenever possible so you come home to a clean space. When house sitting, I send daily updates in the evening to summarize my day with your pets, including lots of pictures. If I notice any odd behaviors, I will always reach out to ask what is normal for your pet and keep you updated with any changes. When dropping in or going on a walk with the dog, I let you know which route we took and provide pictures and/or videos. When dropping in on a cat, I will always provide pictures and keep you updated on their food and water intake, behavior/demeanor, and what we did during the visit.
Information Emma J. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has any quirks or favorite things, let me know so I can learn more about your pet before the visit. Also, please let me know where your pet's supplies are located, such as their leash, food, treats, kitty litter, etc.
A typical day
I provide a calm demeanor and befriend your pet at their pace so they are as comfortable as possible when I enter their space. I adapt to the pet and prefer to keep them on their routine as much as possible. If your dog loves to go on walks, I'll bring my walking shoes and take them on a little adventure. If you cat loves to snuggle on the couch, I'll turn on a movie and we can spend our time snuggling. I follow their lead and make sure we enjoy our time together, whatever that may look like.

Pet care experience
I was raised on a farm where I cared for horses, cats, and dogs. I grew up showing Missouri Fox Trotting horses, and this grew my love for animals. In my free time, I love spending time with animals and have done petting for over three years in the St. Louis area. I am flexible and like to follow your pets' lead and their routine to make sure we both have the best experience possible. I have a variety of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from 10 weeks old to end of life. I am comfortable administering oral medications, caring for pets with medical conditions, walking, grooming, daily care, and whatever else your pets need throughout my stay. I have significant experience with dogs and cats of all breeds and backgrounds, and I maintain a calm atmosphere to ease any stress they may experience while you are away. I will love them like my own!

Reviews
Emma did a fantastic job!!!!! My doggo was so relaxed with her he just went about his life as if I were there. The updates were fantastic and I know I made a great choice with Emma!!! I don't travel much but when I do I am definitely 💯 % asking her again!!!! Thank you so much.
Emma is a wonderful sitter…so responsive, so responsible, so caring! I love the reports and photos she provides of our pets after her visits! 10/10….highly recommend Emma!
Emma was wonderful with both of our dogs while we were away. She communicated clearly throughout and sent multiple photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our 6 month old puppy and 10 year old dog were happy and well cared for. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
Emma was amazing. My dog can be difficult with new people and she worked with my baby respecting her time and taking care of her. Would recommend her services to anyone that needs it :)
