Reliable & Experienced Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

I have been involved with a dog rescue for the majority of my life, fostering anywhere from senior dogs to litters of 10 puppies at a time. For the past few years I have been dog sitting for previous adopters in our dog rescue, so I am especially aware of the specific needs and quirks of rescue dogs and any dog who might be a bit wary of the world around them.

Emma is amazing! It had been almost 3 years since we’d been away and we really needed a vacation. With 3 rescued Goldens (who all need medications) and a senior cat, finding someone we could trust was a challenge. Each of our furkids has their own quirks and special needs. One dog is afraid to eat, one is severely thunder phobic, and the third gets moody when we leave. Our senior cat has bad arthritis and has her own issues. It’s so hard to know if they will be ok when we leave. Emma visited twice prior to our vacation to meet us and the furkids and to get an idea of the more challenging parts of their routine. The kids loved her immediately - even our most shy girl. While we were away, Emma gave us daily updates with pictures and asked questions for clarification. She managed a complicated medication schedule like a pro. We could tell from the updates that the kids were comfortable and happy and that put us at ease. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing that they were in great hands. At the end of our trip, our flight was seriously delayed and Emma was flexible enough to stay a bit longer with them so they wouldn’t have to be alone too long. We came home to a clean house and happy, well fed kids.

Emma is such a sweet girl who obviously loves animals. My cat Shady actually ran right to her the day they met. I received updates twice a day, as well a pictures. Made my vacation much less stressful to know Shady was in good hands and “hanging out “ with someone who cared about him. I highly recommend Emma!!!

Emma is the best dog/pet sitter that I have ever used. I have been using her for years. She has sat for about 7 dogs at a time including some difficult foster dogs. I have been working w/American Bulldog Rescue for 23 years and I have never felt more confident leaving dogs with issues with anyone. My trips were always anxiety ridden and for days leading up to any travel wats stressful until I started using Emma <3. My house is spotless and the dogs don't care about me when I get home :) You will be lucky to have her!

Safety, trust & environment

I am aware that many dogs are on schedules or used to specific routines, so I am willing to work with and around that. I am skilled at anticipating the needs of various dogs in order to make them as comfortable as possible. I will also always make sure to provide consistent updates and pictures of your pets! :)

Information Emma K. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know if there is any specific routine your pet needs to follow, as well as any special or particular needs I will need to pay attention to. It is also important for me to know how they might interact with other dogs or people so I know how they will react during walks.

A typical day

I believe it's important to get dogs out of the house and into the world in any way possible. Whether it be a long walk to tire out a young pup or a short, slow walk with a senior dog, I am always happy to anticipate your pet's needs while still providing enrichment!
