Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.
Information Emma K. would like to know about your pet
I like to know everything that helps me give the best care possible! That includes their routine, energy level, medical needs, how they handle new people or other animals, and anything they love or dislike. If they have fears (like storms, loud noises, or being left alone), I want to be ready to support them in the most comforting way. It’s also helpful to know about leash behavior, feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, and any habits or quirks — no detail is too small! Whether they need a calm presence, a playmate, or someone who understands special needs care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home.
A typical day
A typical day for the pets I care for is calm, structured, and full of love — tailored to exactly what each pet needs to feel safe and happy. I always follow their routine closely, whether that means morning potty breaks, medication, meals, or just some extra cuddle time. My doggy day care pups will come home to you played-out and clean, and my house sitting rate includes house keeping and cleaning. For my feline friends that are hosted in my home, they will have full access to my downstairs to lounge and relax, or are welcome to play with my two male cats. For dogs, I make sure they get the right balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and downtime. I’ve worked with high-energy breeds, large dogs, and those still in training, so I’m confident handling all sizes and temperaments, including pups who like to stomp around or lean on you like a horse! For senior pets or those with special needs, I’m gentle, patient, and always focused on comfort. I’ve cared for animals recovering from heartworm treatment, those who need oral or topical medications, or who simply need a calm presence nearby. Cats get the same level of care, whether they’re social and chatty or more reserved and independent. I meet them where they’re at, keeping their environment peaceful and predictable. Every pet is different, so I tailor fun activities to match their personality, age, and energy level! For playful pups, we might go on sniffy walks, play fetch, do treat puzzles, or practice basic commands for mental enrichment. I love letting dogs explore (safely!) and get out some energy in a positive way, especially big breeds who need structured movement and calm reinforcement. You’ll always receive regular updates and photos, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority, every single day.

Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I currently have a 1 year old Great Dane named Ozzy, so I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. Some breeds that I’ve worked with include Pit Bulls, Border Collies, a Great Pyrenees, Pomeranians, Boston Terriers, German Shepherds, a Belgian Malinois, Huskies, and more! I have experience in dog training, positive reinforcement, aggressive or reactive dogs, and senior care, more specifically canine cognitive dysfunction (dementia), incontinence, and paralysis. Rest assured, I am prepared and honored to take on any task to ensure your fur baby is comfortable and safe.
