Trustworthy Care with Heart

I grew up in a home full of animals (cats, dogs, rabbits, and even birds!), so being around pets has always felt natural to me. Because of that, I’m comfortable reading different personalities and adjusting how I approach each one. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for friends and family when they travel, and they trust me because I’m consistent, observant, and good at keeping routines steady. I’m comfortable with: - Senior pets (slower pacing, mobility awareness, gentle handling) - Shy or anxious pets who need patience and space - Multi-pet households with mixed species or different temperaments I pay attention to the little details- energy levels, appetite changes, what makes a pet nervous or relaxed- so nothing slips by. And I keep communication clear and honest, with updates that actually show how your pet is doing. My goal is to give your pet the same familiar, steady care they’d get if you were home!

Drop-In Visits • Sep 07, 2026

Emma was fantastic caring for Dante. We needed drop in help last minute and she was a lifesaver. She shared photos each time to assure us he was in her great care, and she played with him to keep him smiling and loved. Would love to work with her again. Thank you, Emma!

I have two cats and Emma is a PHENOMENAL cat-sitter! She takes so much pride and joy in watching our cats. She goes above and beyond to make sure they’re as happy as can be. Not only is she great at feeding, playing, and brushing them, she takes the time to get to know our cats and their district personalities. I couldn’t recommend her enough!! :)

Schedule

I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to focus on caring for your pets! I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays, and I can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of each pet. Consistency is important to me, so you can count on regular check-ins, on-time visits, and focused attention whenever I’m with your animals.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, secure environment in my spacious apartment, which has plenty of room for pets to move around and relax. I live just steps away from dog parks and the rail trail, so there’s easy access to safe, fun walks and outdoor exercise. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to following any routines or instructions you provide, so you can trust your pet is in good hands while you’re away!

A typical day

I’ll make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away! Walks, playtime, cuddles, and interactive games are all part of the day, tailored to each pet’s personality. From fetch with dogs to interactive toys for cats or supervised floor time for small pets, I keep every day fun, safe, and full of attention.

To give your pets the best care, it’s helpful for me to know ahead of time: • Feeding schedules, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions • Medical needs or medications • Behavioral quirks (like fear of strangers, leash reactivity, or favorite games) • Daily routines or favorite activities • Any areas of your home that are off-limits This helps me keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away!
