Trusted In-Home Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Emmalee — I am based in Richmond offering trusted in-home pet care, overnight stays, walks, and drop-ins. I started house sitting for friends and family, which quickly grew through referrals and I’ve since cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs. From energetic puppies to senior animals who need extra patience, I tailor my care to each pet’s routine. Because of my flexible schedule as a chef, I’m able to be very present and reliable whether that’s staying overnight, stopping in throughout the day, or getting your dog out for a long walk. What you can expect working with me: • Respectful, tidy care of your home while you’re away • Consistent routines for your pet (meals, walks, meds) • Clear communication + regular updates • Calm, attentive presence — especially helpful for anxious pets I understand how important it is to trust someone not just with your pet, but with your home. I treat both with the same level of care and responsibility I would my own.

Emmalee is fantastic! She is my preferred sitter in the Richmond area- and should be yours too! I have a cat with a little attitude and it has never caused an issue. She is kind and diligent, and always sends pics! If you want your pets in good hands, book with Emmalee

Emmalee stayed with Theo (3 month old puppy) on our first weekend away from each other. She took wonderful care of him & sent me lots of updates & photos to alleviate any worry! I'm so grateful for her thoughtfulness & patience with my puppy!
