Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Handler of all Pets
I have taken care of all kinds of pets for over 30 years, including cats, dogs, small animals, reptiles and birds. I have been an active volunteer at the Pope Memorial Humane Society in Dover since 2015. I have had the opportunity to work with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and backgrounds at the shelter. I have experience handling puppies, small dogs, large dogs, and elderly dogs. I am comfortable handling dogs who lack leash manners and who may be reactive to other dogs. Aside from dog walking, I love caring for all small animals and cats. I have 2 sugar gliders, a hamster, a gerbil, and a chinchilla as pets.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always approach new animals slowly and give them time to warm up to me. I take care to follow owner's instructions and treat every pet with love and respect. I have training in pet first aid and CPR. I am experienced in giving medications, including insulin shots.
Ratings and reviews
Emma has become an appreciated addition to our lives and to our cat's lives. She is completely reliable and trustworthy and the cats probably think she's their favorite family member. We think she wonderful. Thanks Emma.
Even my very shy cats loved Emma! Great communication around visits and good vibes.
I highly recommend Emma! I had a no show from a sitter. In a panic I looked for a new sitter while I was out of the state and Emma immediately answered and accepted to help watch my two cats. I will definitely be rebooking with her!
Emma is the best! We and the kitties are huge fans!
Emma is reliable & I can always relax more on vacation knowing she's taking care of our elderly cats. Her comments & photos are helpful to know exactly how they're doing & they trust her.
As usual, Branson was a very happy cat in Emma’s care. He loves her. I highly recommend her. Our shy cat is a huge fan!

Schedule
I work from home during regular business hours, so I am available in the mornings and late afternoon/evening. I am also available during the weekend. **I am not currently able to accept requests for recurring visits on an indefinite basis**
- CatsEmma can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- It is important to know a dog's stress triggers and things to avoid, such as other dogs or high-traffic roads. It is also important to know any special needs or dietary concerns.
