“Emma is flexible and has helped me multiple times with last minute time and schedule changes. Of note, is yesterday when there was a family medical emergency and Emma helped greatly so I could be with my family. Thanks Emma!”
“Tom is the greatest! My blue Heeler Rod took a liking to him during the meet and greet. Tom’s been incredibly helpful feeding/exercising Rod on my long day of work. One of my neighbors saw Tom playing with Rod and told me how impressed she was with how engaged Tom was playing fetch with Rod. Tom is dependable and very professional. I highly recommend Tom if you need someone to watch after your pup!”
About: I’ve spent 30 years caring for a wide variety of dog breeds and age ranges. My experience isn't just limited to my own pets as I've spent time volunteering at animal shelters and pet sitting for neighbors and friends. Safety First: I take great care during walks and always ensure harnesses are secure and environments are safe before going outside. Communication: I provide detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder about how your pets are doing. Adaptability: With direction from you I tailor every visit to your pets' unique needs and personality. I’m a firm believer that every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while their humans are away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I spend weekdays in Carefree and weekends in Paradise Valley. My schedule is relatively flexible so please contact me with your scheduling needs and I'll promptly return your message. Your pets' safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, ensuring all doors are locked, alarms are set, and everything is exactly as you left it. I am a non-smoker, stick to schedules, and never invite guests over.
