Availability

I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and open evening availability for walks, check-ins, feedings, playtime, and overnight care. Because of my flexibility, I’m able to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of routines and pet needs. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, litter box cleaning, bathing, administering oral medications, enrichment activities, crate routines, and providing lots of companionship and attention. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer environment, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

I always aim to make pets feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by maintaining their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, care, and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully while also making sure pets receive playtime, companionship, exercise, and lots of affection. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away. For dogs, I provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medication administration if needed, and plenty of engagement and supervision. For cats, I provide feeding, litter box cleaning, enrichment/playtime, brushing if requested, medication administration, and calm companionship that matches each cat’s comfort level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

Information Emma W. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible so I can make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. Some things I like to know ahead of time include: • Feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions • Potty routines and walking preferences • Energy level and favorite activities or toys • Any medications, allergies, or medical concerns • Behavioral quirks, fears, or triggers (other dogs, loud noises, separation anxiety, etc.) • Commands they know and training routines • Sleeping arrangements and daily schedule • How they typically react to new people or environments • Emergency contact and veterinarian information • Anything else that helps me keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible I know every pet is unique, and I always want to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs!

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. For dogs, that may include walks, play sessions, enrichment activities, outdoor time, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of affection and supervision throughout the day. I love keeping dogs active and engaged, whether that’s playing fetch, going on neighborhood walks, or simply spending quality time together. For cats, I focus on creating a calm and comfortable environment with interactive play, feeding, litter box care, brushing if they enjoy it, and giving them attention at their own pace. I understand that every pet is different, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Since I work from home with flexible availability, pets get plenty of companionship, care, and attention throughout the day and evening.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs of all sizes, and chickens. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, bathing, administering oral medications, cleaning litter boxes and animal areas, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for both high-energy pets who love to play and older animals who may need a gentler approach and extra patience. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free. Whether your pet needs long walks, cuddle time, medication, enrichment activities, or just someone dependable to check in on them, I’m happy to help! I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, attentive, and trustworthy, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own.

Emma is one of the sweetest and most caring people I have ever met. She will not waiver any opportunity to stop and say hi to a pet on the street or stop fantasizing about owning many in our lifetime. Unfortunately our living situation does not allow pets so this will allow her to share her love and enthusiasm for life with furry friends for the time she has with them. Anyone’s pet would be in great hands with Emma.
