Pet care experience

Veterinary and PhD Student

For 8 years, I ran my own pet sitting business in Massachusetts. I was in sole charge of the care of local pets (including dogs, cats, rabbits, and chinchillas) and farm animals (horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, and sheep). Over the years I have worked over 2500 hours caring for pets. Currently, I am a veterinary student at CSU in the DVM/Ph.D. program and am so excited to return to school after working in the veterinary industry for over 3 years while completing and since finishing my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at Hamilton College. With my medical background and years of competing internationally in dressage and sled dog racing, I look forward to working with you to care for your animals!

Emma took great care of my pup. She provided updates throughout my dog’s stay and was very responsive with communication. I know my dog got good exercise and lots of love. I would be happy to have my dog stay with her anytime!

We had a wonderful experience with Emma as our Rover. Her communication skills allowed us to enjoy our weekend away knowing Penny was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!

Emma is dependable and responsible and did a great job kitty/house-sitting for us while we were away. We were very pleased and will be using her services again in the future.

Emma is wonderful. She took excellent care of our pets and our house while we were traveling. She communicated well and gave us updates. Both our dogs and our cat really like her. It’s such a piece of mind knowing that our pets are safe and well cared for. I highly recommend.

Schedule

I treat your pets like my own. Though I am in school, I love to take my dog Mia on walks, runs, and hikes, and hang out with her in my home. I would love to provide the same level of care for your pets when you are away.
