Pet care experience
Certified Animal Spoiler
I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands.

Ratings and reviews
This was our first time booking with Emma, and we only did it because our regular sitter was unavailable. We were nervous about it, and we shouldn't have been. Our two dogs are small and very different from each other. Shadow is outgoing and will introduce himself to anyone. Mocha is the opposite. She's shy with new people and needs time before she'll warm up. Emma handled both of them well. She didn't push Mocha or force interaction. She let her come around on her own, and by the end of the stay Mocha was comfortable with her. Our other concern going in was that Emma has two dogs of her own, both boys and both a lot bigger than ours. With Shadow that made three boys in the house and Mocha the only girl. We weren't sure how that would go. It went fine, and we didn't have to take her word for it. She sent us videos of how all of them were getting along, and not just at the meet and greet. She kept them coming through the whole stay, so we could see for ourselves that everyone was comfortable. She also followed our routine exactly as we laid it out. Feeding, walks, all of it. Nothing was improvised and nothing got skipped. Our dogs sleep in bed with us at home, and Emma kept them in bed with her too. That's the kind of thing that tells you a sitter is actually paying attention to what your dogs are used to instead of just getting through the week. We booked Emma out of necessity, but we'd book her again by choice. Highly recommend, especially if you have small dogs or one who takes a while to trust new people.
Emma is the ABSOLUTE BEST!! I have a golden who I love with my entire heart & there’s absolutely no one else I trust the way I do Emma!! She treats her like one of her own, spoils her with treats, walks, and allll the love. I HIGHLY recommend Emma when it comes to caring for your fur babies 🫶🏻
Emma has been walking and caring for our two dogs, Sadie and Peach, for several years, and we couldn't ask for a better pet sitter. She is dependable, communicative, and truly treats our dogs like they're her own. Sadie and Peach absolutely adore her and get so excited every time they see her! Knowing they're in Emma's care gives us complete peace of mind. We always know they'll be safe, loves, and well cared for while we're away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet caregiver.
Emma watched my Miniature Pinscher, Baseball, and I couldn’t have been happier. She was kind, attentive, and treated Baseball like her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would absolutely trust Emma to watch her again.
Emma was an amazing cat sitter! She took wonderful care of our cat and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and sent us regular updates, which we really appreciated. It was obvious our cat felt comfortable and well cared for in her hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!
Emma took wonderful care of our dog, Sully! From the very beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Sully was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved while he was in her care. She kept us updated, followed all of his routines, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Emma to watch Sully again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!

I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets.

I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit.

A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor the day to their personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, puzzle toys, cuddle time, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and enrichment. I’ll stick to their normal feeding, potty, and medication schedule while providing updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for.
