Safety, trust & environment

For drop-ins and walks, I focus on keeping your pet happy, active, and comfortable in their own space. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and of course, plenty of love and attention. I can also give meds if needed and clean up any messes (like litter boxes or puppy pads). For walks, I’ll stick to their usual pace and route, or we can switch it up for some extra fun! I always make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and looked after like they’re my own.

Information Emma D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time your pets behavior patterns that I should be aware of, as well as if they have any special or specific needs. I love to know the pets typical routine to ensure they are comfortable, anything from their favorite toy to preferred petting spot :)

A typical day

Whether it’s going on fun walks with dogs, playing interactive games with curious cats, or setting up enrichment activities for your pets, I make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality whether they’re energetic, shy, playful, or cuddly.

Cat care experience

Hi! I’m a cat lover who specializes in cat drop ins! I am able to work with cats of all temperaments with 2 years of experience working in a feral cat shelter. I’ve always had a cat (or two) in the house, so I totally get their unique personalities, from the cuddly lap cats to the more independent types. I have lots of experience in feeding, cleaning litter boxes, socialization, and medication administration. I also currently volunteer at a cat sanctuary where I work with cats of all temperaments and have experience doing drop ins for all types of cats, I even independently am responsible for one of my own! I know how important routine and a calm environment are for cats, and I’ll make sure yours feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

Emma was great! She took such great care of Freyja while we were away. It was her birthday while we were gone and Emma spent extra time with her and got her a present. We will definitely rebook Emma when we travel!

Emma took very good care of my cat, Cactus. She played with him gave him pets and treats, and sent me a nice report each day with fun pictures. Without a doubt, Emma is a caring cat (pet) lover and most reliable. Cactus was very well cared for with Emma - he was in good hands. Thanks so much!

Emma was wonderful! We were nervous leaving our boy but I felt so great knowing he was in Emma’s care. She was able to help fill in for some last minute feedings/visits. She’s so responsible and communicative and our little guy was well taken care of! We really appreciate the communication and updates with pictures. We can’t thank her enough!
