Safety, trust & environment

I will follow every instruction meticulously and pay close attention to every detail, making sure they have everything they need exactly how they need it. I'll provide play time and/or cuddle time depending on the needs of your pet. And, of course, I will make sure everything is in the same condition it was prior, cleaning up messes and leaving a them in a safe environment.

Information Emma M. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preference, and I'm open to any special needs or instructions! Just let me know what your animal will need and I'll make it happen.

A typical day

A typical day with dogs would include walks, playtime, treats, and a lot of love. It's important to provide enrichment both mentally and physically, so we would play games and do tricks and check out the neighborhood(or backyard, depending on your preference!) Cats need a lot of enrichment, as well, so playtime would be equally as important here. Cuddles and pets and toys and treats would be the main focus!

Animal Lover Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

I have had and cared for many animals throughout my life. They have always been my best friends, and I form very strong bonds with every single one I meet. I've always believed that animals are my passion and purpose. I have volunteered long term with an animal rescue, and I try to help any animal I come across that's in need. I know firsthand how important it is to feel that your pets are safe and happy while in the care of others, and that will always be my top priority. I am extremely detail oriented, and I follow any and all directions meticulously. I genuinely promise to go above and beyond, caring for and loving them as if they're my own. I can't wait to meet your babies!

Emma was a wonderful cat sitter. She sent great updates and pictures. I felt like Betty was in good hands and I could enjoy my vacation.

Emma was awesome!! She took fantastic care of my two kitties and even helped troubleshoot the litter robot when it malfunctioned. Emma goes above and beyond, and I wasn’t worried at all leaving my babies for so long! She was very thorough and paid great attention to the little ones

Emma earned more than a five star rating in my opinion. I've worked with many petsitters over the years and although many were very good, Emma is the best! Her personal attention and professional care and communication were outstanding and very reassuring. I highly recommend Emma!!
