Safety, trust & environment

For me, it’s all about mutual trust and responsibility. I’ll keep your space clean and safe—better for both you and your pet! Just let me know if you have an escape artist; my kitty loves to escape into the hallway when someone walks in, so I know how nerve-wracking that can be. When we meet, I’ll make sure I ask any questions or voice any concerns that I may have.

Information Emma Z. would like to know about your pet

If you have an older dog or cat, just let me know of any restrictions. I’ll be sure to take extra loving care of them!

A typical day

For dogs - let’s walk, walk, walk! The best thing for our furry friends is getting all that extra energy out, especially in NYC. Assuming your dog is up for it, we’ll both get our steps in! For cats - every kitty is different! Let me know if there are any special toys or treats that I can use to make their time with me more enjoyable.

Cat care experience

I’ve been taking care of cats (mine or otherwise) since I was a pre-teen! My Minka is the best part of my life, so I fully understand how hard it is to leave your best friend alone. I’m ready to take the best care of your adorable kitty and hopefully give you some peace of mind during times that you can’t be with them!

Emma is super responsible and caring. She took great care of our rag doll kitty.

Emma is wonderful with my cats! They are excited to see her and even my most shy cat is warming up to her. As a pet parent I truly appreciate the detailed check in notes and photos I receive from her, truly puts me at ease

Emma was incredible! It’s very clear she's a true animal lover – my shy cats immediately warmed up to her and clearly looked forward to her visits. She seemed to know exactly what to do. She also left really informative reports that left me feeling at ease. Her positive attitude and warm energy were always appreciated, and paired with her great communication, it made things so easy. I’m so glad I found her, she took such great care of my cats and apartment!

I needed to find a replacement sitter asap and was nervous about leaving my cats (as usual 😅) - after our meet and greet I knew they were in great hands! She is great with cats and they took to her immediately. Great sitter to work with! The first time I have been away from them with no stress in the back of my mind - knew they would be well taken care of and she followed all their care needs to a tee!
