Pet care experience

PhD student and animal lover

Work from home phd student with affordable and flexible upon request pricing! I love my pets and will treat yours like my own. I’m very conscious of pet and home safety. Many owners and I are flexible with times and if something looks blocked on my calendar, feel free to ask, it might be available! My family and I are huge animal lovers and have fostered dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 9 cats and 2 dogs and now have 2 cats of my own. I volunteered in high school as a dog walker and currently dog walk 8 regulars and many one time/flexible and as need requests all types of dogs: big, small, reactive, need motivation to go on a walk, you name it! . I am open to pet sitting/dog walking/ and drop ins for all types of cats and dogs! If you don’t see a time that’s available, it’s likely that I have drop in visits for parents that are flexible with timing, feel free to book any time and we can try to schedule something! I am a huge cat person and would love to help you with drop in/ house sitting/ boarding! My cats are very friendly and love meeting new ones, but I can also stay in your home overnight if needed! 🐶🐱 I am easy to reach and always reply you can call me 24/7!

Emma is incredible! She watched our cats while we were gone for the holidays and I felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be hiring Emma again in the future!

Emma is the sweetest. She takes care of the cats as if they are her cats. She played with them and cuddled them too. Cannot think of anyone better to take care of my cats.

Pets

A typical day

I can take your dog anywhere that you prefer! A walk around the block or to a dog park or the Marina green. My own cats really enjoy playing fetch and I can provide toys if needed! I’m used to all types of personalities in dogs and cats and respect if they prefer their space or want to play! Sometimes it’s comforting for them just to know someone is checking in on them.

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs. I am used to taking care of animals with special needs or in their older age. My family fosters dogs and cats of all different types and ages.
