“Casey was amazing!! We needed someone last minute to watch our pup while we were away and she responded right away and kept in constant contact the whole time she was watching him with updates and pictures. We never had to worry and will definitely use her again in the future!!”

“Merissa is so wonderful, kind, prompt, and genuinely caring!! My boy loved her and she took amazing care of him!! Highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!”

“Heather was wonderful to have stay with our girls while we were out of the country. One needs a bit more care now and we worried about leaving her. However, Heather had no problem providing them with everything they needed while we were away. She was great with communication and our house was just as we left it.”

“Kevin did a fantastic job house sitting with Igloo for the day! He even went out of his way to come meet Igloo a couple days before so that she would be comfortable staying with a new person in the house. He kept us updated with photos during the day. It was great being able to have the day to ourselves and not worry - we would definitely have him back again!”

“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”

“Alex did a great job with Chip while I was out of town. It was clear he gave Chip lots of attention and gave him plenty of exercise. Alex was also very communicative and provided great updates!”

“We couldn’t recommend Barbara highly enough! She did a wonderful job looking after our anxious dog and 2 cats while we were away. She was super responsive and sent us daily updates on how our fur babies were doing. Our dog loved her and did so well under her close eye. Barbara stayed in our home and left it spotless!”

“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”

“Frankie and hit it off from the very first moment of the meet & greet, so I felt fine leaving Cinnie in her care. We received a bunch of photos and short videos so we didn't miss our girl while we were gone. And when I returned Cinnie was happy, the house looked just as I had left it, and I now have a new option to call upon the next time we will be out of town and I need coverage for Cinnie. Well done Frankie!”


“This was our first time having a sitter watch our pets in our home, Natasha was so great and made us comfortable during our entire time away knowing our pets were getting the care they needed. Thank you again so much!”

“Patrick was amazing! He was so kind and responsive to my cats and my dog! He sent my partner and I lots of updates and communicated with us. I would 100% books again!”

About: I love taking care of and interacting with animals. I have a special place in my heart for senior animals, as my own girl is 20. I've owned dogs and cats my whole life. This will be my main source of income, while I study part time which makes my schedule easy to move around to fit you and your pets needs. I have experience with taking care of both dogs and cats in the home. I am able to take care of many animals at once.
“I am a nervous pup mom and I want Coco Moose in his home. I tried traditional boarding and was mortified. I am so glad I found/connected with Emer. She is so helpful and understanding of my pup mom feelings. Her communication while I was away, was next level! Text with updates and she sent 1 of the cutest pictures ever along with many others. She spoiled him with extra walks too. When I returned home, Coco was happy, content and obviously very well taken care of. My home looked exactly as I left it. I can't wait until my next trip to have Emer back. It's 1 less thing I need to worry about when I need to leave. THANK YOU!”

“Ava is very responsible and conscientious. She sent lots of photos and checked in when she had questions, as well as responded to my questions. Max was well taken care of while we were away!”

“We were very satisfied with our pet sitters! They did a great job taking care of our four dogs and one cat. They stayed in our home, respected our space, and sent daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Everyone was happy and well cared for—highly recommend!”
