Pet care experience
Caring & reliable pet sitter 🐾
I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. They are family, and my goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for cats and dogs for most of my life. I currently have three cats and three dogs, and I’ve had many other pets throughout my life as well, so being around animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I’m more than willing to care for homes with one pet, multiple pets, or different types of animals. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I’ve always been very caring by nature. People who know me often say I care deeply about animals and treat them like family. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and what they enjoy so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I’m definitely a bit of a “helicopter” pet mom with my own animals, so I know how reassuring it is to get updates when you’re away. Because of that, I’m always happy to send plenty of photo updates and messages and can send as many pictures as you’d like so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and administering medications if needed. I’ve had pets with different health issues over the years, so I’m familiar with giving a variety of medications and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or health. Friends and family have trusted me to watch their pets over the years, and I truly treat every animal like my own.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and what they enjoy so they feel relaxed and happy while in my care. I treat every pet the same way I treat my own animals, giving them attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting their boundaries and space if they prefer a calmer environment. I keep a close eye on pets to make sure they’re safe and doing well, and I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any other needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone attentive and responsible looking after your pets, so I always aim to provide that same level of care.
Ratings and reviews
5 stars isn’t enough! Emma went above and beyond caring for our senior dog and two cats while we were away. She sent detailed updates after each visit with lots of photos, gave all of our pets so much love and attention, and treated them like they were her own. She took extra time with our dog at the dog park, played with our cats, and kept us informed throughout the trip. It was such a relief knowing our pets were in such caring hands. Her communication was outstanding, and it was obvious how much she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that was clearly well cared for while we were away. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would book her again in a heartbeat! ❤️
She took such great care of my cat, Mochi! Mochi can be a little shy at first, but she was so patient and made her feel comfortable right away. I loved getting updates and pictures, and I could tell Mochi was relaxed and happy the whole time. She even played with her and kept her entertained, which I really appreciated. I would definitely trust her to watch Mochi again!
She did such an amazing job watching my cat, Bella! Bella can be a little particular, but she was so attentive and made sure she felt comfortable the whole time. She followed all of her routines and kept me updated with pictures, which I really appreciated. I could tell Bella was well taken care of and happy. I would definitely trust her to watch Bella again!
Emma took care of my Goldendoodle, Astro, during an unexpected situation where I needed help longer than planned, and she handled everything so well. She was super flexible and stepped in without hesitation, making sure Astro was comfortable, well taken care of, and stayed on a consistent routine. She gave him plenty of attention, kept up with his needs, and made sure he felt safe even with the sudden change. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She’s reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond, and I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.
Emma has watched my Doberman, Jax, and I fully trust her with him, especially because he was in a new environment and had just had surgery with some health concerns. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, closely monitored his condition, and stayed on top of everything he needed. She handled him confidently while still being very gentle and attentive, made sure he got appropriate exercise, and kept him on a consistent routine. It was clear he felt safe and cared for with her, which meant everything to me. She’s reliable, responsible, and truly cares about animals, and I would absolutely have her watch my dog again and recommend her to anyone.
Emma has been taking care of my cat, Ollie, long-term while I’ve been away at college, and I genuinely trust her more than anyone with him. She keeps him on the exact routine he’s used to, which has made such a difference in keeping him comfortable and happy. She’s very attentive, his litter box is always clean, he’s fed on schedule, and she makes sure he gets plenty of attention and playtime. She also sends me lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciate and gives me peace of mind while I’m away. She notices even small changes and truly treats him like her own, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and time for play, enrichment, and companionship so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away.

- Before watching your pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or medications so I can take care of them to the best of my ability. I’m comfortable giving medications if needed, and I always try to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. It’s also really helpful to know their personality, energy level, and if they have any triggers or things that make them anxious. I also like to know their favorite toys and any treats they’re allowed to have, as well as how they do with other animals or people, so I can make sure they’re happy and at ease.
