Pet care experience

Kind, compassionate animal lover

The first dog my family had was a Blue Tic hound that I would follow everywhere including into her crate to sleep. Ever since I was a child I’ve had a deep enthusiasm for compassionate, kind animal care that makes pets feel truly like one of our family. I have experience with cats, dogs, fish, and aquatic turtles. I’ve been involved with German shepherd rescue and fostering, having fostered over 50 shepherds/malinois when living with my family.

Emma was a very communicative and proactive sitter! I appreciated her regular detailed updates and photos and came home to a happy pup.

Emma was very professional and kind and my dog had a great weekend with her! Emma is really responsive and great about providing frequent updates on how my dog was doing, which made me feel much better about being away from my dog!

Are you looking for reliability, quality, and communication? Emma’s expertise and thoughtful care for our 4 pets set the bar high. It seemed effortless for her and we appreciate her honesty and commitment to not only taking care of the pets but our house too. You should hire Emma.

Emma was incredible. Our dog is obsessed with her and so are we! She is super sweet and took excellent care of our babe. She went above and beyond.

While I have experience with more mouthy and high-energy shepherds/malinois, I do like a heads up if your dog is very jumpy, noisy and excitable just so I’m prepared when I come in :)
