Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I always prioritize keeping their routines consistent and their environment safe. I follow all instructions closely, keep the space clean, and ensure your pet gets the love, attention, and exercise they’re used to. I treat your home with the same respect I would my own.

Information Emma S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special medications or accommodations that I need to be aware of. I want to make sure your pet gets cared for in the best possible way personal to them!

A typical day

I love to include a variety of activities for your dog! Taking them on multiple walks, playing with their favorite toys, and making sure they got lots of attention and cuddle during the day!

Lifelong animal lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both big and small dogs, and currently a proud cat owner. I’ve cared for pets of friends, neighbors, and family, handling everything from feeding and walking to bathing and playtime. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own.

Emma is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond for her first visit with Ruby. She took her out, walked her, and played fetch! She also made sure to follow the instructions I gave her EXACTLY! My puppy absolutely adores her, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone reliable, trustworthy, and kind for your pet!

Emma’s an amazing pet sitter!! She has watched my little havanese on multiple occasions and always sends me photos for updates! My dog absolutely adores her which is why I always come to her whenever I need a sitter.
