About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember and have grown up around animals my whole life. I have many years of experience caring for cats and started looking after them from a young age. I also have my own dog, who is now 8 years old, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, exercise, attention and responsibility that dogs require. Because of this, I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s play, walks, feeding routines or simply providing companionship and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m used to planning my day around the needs of pets, including feeding, walks, playtime and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Since I have my own dog, I already follow a regular routine that includes walks and dedicated time for attention and exercise. I’m reliable with maintaining pets’ usual schedules and routines, as I know how important consistency is for them. I’m happy to fit visits, walks and check-ins around my day to make sure pets get the care and companionship they need. I provide pet care in the owner’s home so pets can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks playtime, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I always take time to build trust with each pet so they feel safe and relaxed. I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship and I keep their space clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide updates to owners for peace of mind while they’re away. Being in their own home helps reduce stress for pets and I aim to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and well looked after at all times.

About: What sets me apart is my flexibility and genuine love for animals. I work from home, so I can provide care throughout the day, including for pets that need extra attention or companionship. I'm also able to drive, making it easy for me to travel to your home. I've cared for pets with separation anxiety, high-energy dogs that need long walks, and pets that require more frequent care and supervision. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Working from home allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple walks, regular playtime, companionship, or extra supervision, I can easily adapt to their routine. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety, so I'm happy to spend extra time with them to help them feel calm, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Every pet receives plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. While I'm unable to host pets in my own home because I have a cat, I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your pet in their usual routine. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love while you're away.

“Emily was our absolute assurance that Dottie Lou would be very well cared for during our absence. She sent us messages and photos for each visit which showed that our treasured little rescue kitty had found a new friend. We are so grateful to have found Emily … she’s wonderful!”
