Pet care experience
I was born into a home full of animals. As a child we had 3 dogs(1medium/2large, 3 cats, and the random array of fish/turtles between me and my 6 siblings. As a teenager we had 2 dog(1small/1medium) and 1 cat. Now as an adult my family and I have 1 dog and 1 cat. We did have a senior (21 years old) cat that passed away in 2023 due to old age. We have a Labrador retriever and a black and white cat . My family and I love animals and helping people. I have cared for my own pets as well as the pets of my family and friends my whole life. I’m sure with detailed instructions I can help care for your furry loved ones!

Reviews
Thank you for watching the boys! They were wiped out when I got them home 🙌🏻🤣
Emma and Timothy were great hosts for our Coco. They accommodated a last-minute request and kept sending us updates and pictures throughout the stay. We will definitely use their services in the future and also recommend them.
Second time staying with Emma & Tim. Curly always has a great time. Communication is great and they've been extremely flexible with my schedule. Definitely recommend!
Curly loved his stay with Emma & Timothy. It was a last minute reservation so I was grateful to have such accommodating hosts. Communication was awesome. 5/5.

Safety, trust & environment
For our home: I have a 8.5 year old black lab golden retriever mix. A 1 year old cat. A 2.5 year old human toddler and an 6 month old infant. We have baby gates to separate the living room from the kitchen and the living room from the hallway/bedrooms. We also added a baby gate between the laundry room and the kitchen. There are multiple barriers able to be used if needed. The gates are wall mounted for increased safety. Since there is almost always an adult home we have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! We have a water bubbler that we have connected to the Alexa so we are able to turn it on and off for our pets even if we are not home. We have a few parks around us that are just a short drive away. We have a large metal cage that’s available if needed. We have a very large fenced yard with lots of room for running and exploring! We have cameras around the house in almost every room for security, safety, and to catch funny moments. One camera is pointed at the dog cage as well for safety. For at your home: I will follow all acceptable and agreed upon rules and care for your pets the way that you tell me too! I will admit that sometimes I run a few minutes late due to having my 2 year son and my infant daughter with me! But for short visits (potty breaks) I can keep them in the car if needed!

A typical day
I love to go for walks, near the house (yours or mine) or at a park near by. I enjoy activities such as playing with balls and with other dog toys. I can work on helping train for basic commands if you provide examples (and extra compensation) of your preferences in the training or specific instructions. I can provide the animal with experience around small children.

Availability
Our schedule is all over the place. My husband works for the fire department on a rotating schedule. I work Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday// Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday as a rotating schedule because I work in EMS too. Either myself or my husband is almost always home to watch our son and our own animals. On the rare occasion our shifts line up (once or twice every few weeks) a sitter would come to my home to help with the kids if we are both gone. My availability is very open since my husband is usually home when I am not, your pet will get love around the clock!
