“Emma, Emma, Emma...she is wonderful, reliable, and truly cares for your animals as if they are hers. I am so grateful my animals and I found her. I have zero worries when she stays here with my furry pup, and she understands how to take care of a senior citizen dog, who needs consistent attention. As our dog has gotten older her separation anxiety has worsened, Emma gets this and takes the extra steps to provide around the clock care. We also had our pup have an emergency surgery, she tore out her stitches and Emma notified us right away and got her to the vet...this is above and beyond and she treated it like just a normal day, also has no problems giving medicine (liquid and pill)...She has such a great attitude, and the love she gives to our animals is something special. They miss her when she leaves. In regards to having her as a houseguest, she is perfect, and keeps the animals on their routine. She is amazingly clean and I felt the house was even nicer then when I left it. I trust her completely, and that is not easy for me.”

Raava
“Emma goes above and beyond for the dogs she is entrusted with. I love leaving my dog Raava under her care because I know her needs will be met. She gives affection and also respects the rules that have been given to our dog. I have a pit bull so keeping Raava trained and well disciplined is very important to me. Emma makes sure to keep things consistent while giving lots of love!”
“Emma was great! We scheduled her for housesitting and dog & cat sitting, over the holidays. We would definitely use her again.
Communication - Emma was on top of everything, following up with meeting times, leaving an end-of-stay summary, and providing updates on the pets while we were gone. We loved getting the photos!
House sitting - Emma left the house in great shape!
Pet Sitting - Emma took great care of our dog (1) and cats (2), including our one cat that had 2X day medicine. She gave the dog his needed walks and a bath. She even became buddies with our shy kitty, quite an accomplishment.
Thanks, Emma!”

OUr foster puppy
“I got to know Emma this December (2016) and although we hardly knew each other we decided to travel through Mexico for a month together. During this time I witnessed Emma’s infinite love for animals and how she magically bonded with every animal that crossed our path. This inevitably got us into fostering a baby puppy from Tuluca, which we literally found in the trash. For the next weeks we took care of her, taught her everything she needed to know, got her all important vaccinations, got her spayed and finally found a new home in Zipolite for her. Furthermore I got to know Emma as a very reliable, tidy and lovely person. In my eyes she is the perfect dog sitter, because she is incredibly passionate about dogs and is really experienced with not only dogs, but also horses, cats and farm animals.”
“Emma saved us for a spontaneous last minute booking over the holidays. She came over in advance to meet the doggies, a big job watching 3, one of which is 6 months and still puppy crazy. All 3 warmed immediately to Emma, including 1 skittish Aussie who is nervous of strangers. We received frequent updates and pictures giving us peace of mind that pups and house were OK. I would book Emma again if the need arises.”

“We have a very spoiled dog who is shy around new people so i am always worried when we need to go out of town. Our dog loves Emma, he warmed up to her very quickly. She goes above and beyond sending photo updates and makes sure the house is spotless before leaving. My dog even had a fun beach day with her! I would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter who will treat your pets as her own.”
“Emma is AMAZING!!! She was so wonderful with my four legged babies and sent me video’s and pictures daily! My one dog Tater Tot is pretty skiddish, but he instantly felt safe, went right up to her and started giving her kisses! I was SO HAPPY to see him feel comfortable and safe - Emma definitely has a way with animals! They all loved her- especially my ‘trouble child’ George!! I could tell when I got back from our weekend away that he was super attached to her! He melted in her arms when she was holding him and petting him- almost to the point of falling asleep! I couldn’t believe it! He is normally somewhat difficult with new people and tends to be very protective of me, but wasn’t AT ALL with Emma- it was almost like he forgot about me and was completely enamored by her!! LOL! My third - Athena, loved having another girl in the house with her! Can’t thank Emma enough for treating my babies like hers! I will ABSOLUTELY use Emma as our dog/house sitter whenever we go away! SHE WAS FANTASTIC!! Tater Tot, George and Athena miss her already!! :)”
“Emma is the best! Besides taking excellent care of our two dogs, she kept the house immaculate! I was always able to get in touch with her right away. Will always use her in the future.”
“Emma used to watch my two senior citizen dogs before she moved away from Maryland. One was blind and deaf, the other had been abused for years and was afraid to come inside a house so he lived outdoors in a deluxe dog house. Neither were candidates to stay in a kennel when we vacationed.
We found here by word of mouth and boy did we get lucky with that. She was wonderful with my special needs boys. She came over twice to meet them and learn about their needs before we used her the first time.
Couldn’t believe when I got home and Jimmy was sitting with her. He typically hated everyone but us.
Walker, my outside boy was aloof, but did not fear her which was major.
The first time, we only went for two nights, but with later uses, she stayed here with them for as long as 10 days. Both these fellows are now deceased, but if Emma ever moves back to Baltimore, I would jump at the chance to have her stay with my current pets.”
“I’ve known Emma for a number of years now and she has always had an exceptional relationship with all animals. I have a very ornery cat Amelio that never warms up to really anyone but myself. But, within a day she had him purring on her lap. She’s also, incredibly kind, courteous, and cleanly. If I ever have the need for a sitter she would definitely be my top pick and certainly Amelio’s first pick too.”
