I’m a recent BFA graduate from TTU, teaching after school voice lessons to children. I love giving back to the community, and building both functional and personal relationships with those around me! Since I work with children outside of school hours, I typically don’t start work until after 3pm, and the day ends when it gets dark (8-9pm). This gives me free time in the morning, early afternoon, and night to care for your pet. I am so happy to give your pet love and attention, and pride myself on reading animal’s emotions well so that I can keep them calm and happy while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve cared for both dogs and cats in my home by ensuring they get proper exercise, lots of play time, gentle snuggles, and plenty of treats- your pet will be no exception! I pride myself on maintaining a clean environment for pets, which means meticulous litter care/waste management, refreshed food and water bowls, and necessary grooming. For pets with aggressive or reclusive tendencies, I offer a gentle and slow approach, letting them get to know me as I get to know them. I believe all pets deserve patience and respect as we learn each other’s boundaries, and I am absolutely willing to take the time to build a relationship with your pet on their terms! All pets deserve a calm and loving environment- I will take any and all steps available to ensure their safety and comfort!

Information Emma T. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, and any specialized care needs or medical conditions they may have. Additionally, prior knowledge about your pet’s fears and/or behavioral triggers will help me ensure a stress-free environment for them.

A typical day

A typical day with me and the pets I watch are packed with mental and physical stimulation so they can rest easy at night. For dogs, I like to take them on long walks to sniff the neighborhood, play fetch outside, and snuggle up on the couch with plenty of treats after a long day. For cats, I like to to get their energy out with toys, watch the birds out the window, turnover their litter (a clean cat is a happy cat), with treats and gentle cuddles before bed.

Experienced and Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Emma! I’ve taken care of pets for my family, friends, and neighbors for years. I grew up with dogs throughout my life, and am now a cat-owner, so I have experience living with and caring for both! I love getting to know each animal’s distinct personality and building a relationship with them! Whether shy, snuggly, or playful, I love finding ways to connect with them personally. I have cared for many animals with specialized dietary needs, and feel confident administering oral and topical medications. I look forward to providing the same level of care for your sweet pet as I would for my own!

Emma has always taken care of my pets when I’m gone. I never feel like they aren’t cared for and loved. She is most likely found curled up next to them! My dog gets so excited to see her every time!!!

Emma was able to care for my two cats with twice daily drop in visits while I was gone. Very communicative and gave lots of photo updates. No issues were had and she was very sweet to bring in a package at the door for us. Will use Emma again for our next trip out! Thanks again!
