Safety, trust & environment

I care for my own dog every day, walking him three times and feeding him twice. Since he’s older, he needs a little extra attention—such as medication administration and help with mobility—which has given me valuable experience supporting senior pets. I make sure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved through playtime and companionship. I also tailor each pet’s routine to their unique personality and the owner’s preferences, but one thing always remains the same: I treat every animal with the same love, care, and attention as if they were my own.

Information Emma S. would like to know about your pet

I believe it’s important to learn as much as possible about each pet before caring for them. This includes understanding their triggers (such as reactions to other animals, people, or cars), any medical needs, energy level, allergies, and special routines or preferences. Knowing these details helps me provide the safest, most comfortable, and personalized care possible.

A typical day

I typically follow each owner’s preferred schedule to maintain consistency and comfort for their pet. Along with that, I always include time for affection and enrichment to keep pets happy and engaged. I also enjoy taking photos during visits or walks so owners can feel confident, connected, and at ease knowing their pet is well cared for.

Emma was great! She helped us out last minute, and did a great job. She even took our girls on a walk! We will definitely book her again.

Emma was great! Excellent feedback on how my cats were while I was gone. She even took pictures of the one that hid under the bed! Highly recommend!
