Pet care experience

I love cats more than people

I’ve done catsitting on and off since I was in college. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to keep their cats fed, their litter boxes cleaned, and spend some time with them! I have two cats of my own that are everything to me. I am able to provide oral medication and insulin administration and have worked with cats of all ages!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Since I live in a small apartment with two cats, I can’t bring your pet to stay with me. Instead, I’m more than happy to drop in periodically or spend the day at your home, making sure your pets are happy, fed, and get some social interaction!

I highly recommend Emma! She was very communicative and my girls made a new bestie! :) One of my cats needs meds and I really appreciate how she kept trying even when Oda wasn’t being the most cooperative!

Emma was fantastic with my kitten. She took great care of him, sent tons of photo updates and my house was spotless upon arriving home. Would totally use Emma again!

I highly recommend Emma! Upon our first meeting, one of my cats was immediately obsessed with her. My other cat is a bit shy but curious, and by the end of the stay, she came out for pets! Emma was communicative, detailed, and completely reliable. I'll definitely be booking her again.

Emma does a wonderful job watching my pets. I have a dog and a cat. She plays with them, walks my dog regularly, and sends pictures. She keeps in touch with me if she has a question or problem. I have used her several times and definitely will again!

We can't recommend Emma highly enough! It was our first time leaving our kitten, and Emma put us at ease from the meet & greet. She took wonderful care of her throughout and sent updates and photos that let us actually relax and enjoy our trip. We'll absolutely be booking with her again next time we're away.

Schedule

I work full-time and have a hybrid schedule, so I have flexibility on days I work from home and weekends. I can spend the day at your home or drop in as needed, but due to having pets of my own, can’t always do overnight stays. On Monday and Wednesday I work in the office, so I can provide dog walking/drop ins before 7:30 ami and after 4 pm. I can house sit on those days and stop by on my lunch break or start after 4.

Emma can take up to 2 Drop-in Visits per day
Let me know more about your pet’s behavior! I am prone to both sensory overload and migraines so I don’t do well with super loud dogs. Please also let me know about any special needs :) I can do insulin and oral meds. Please also let me know if your pets require constant care (cannot be left alone for an hour or less). I charge an additional 100% of the daily house sitting rate for constant care plus an extra 50% per additional pet.
