About
I was born with the passion to love and care for as many animals as I possibly can. I am excited to offer dog walking, pet sitting, and customized care for each pet. The skills and knowledge I gained by working as a veterinary assistant for several years give me the opportunity to care for pets with special needs. I am trained in Pet CPR, First Aid + Safety.
There are so many aspects I love about what I do. The things I love most is the peace of mind I bring to pet owners, the happiness I see in the eyes of the dogs and cats I care for, and the feeling of accomplishment and love I get when I finally win the heart of a pet that had once been afraid of me.
Since starting in 2018, we have grown to a team of 15 passionate pet lovers to continue the mission to care for as many pets as we can. I have hand picked each person on our team. I provide them with the skills and knowledge needed to provide exceptional care to each pet we care for.

This was my 1st time leaving my dog and cat alone for an entire week. Emily was fantastic! She visited twice per day and she sent me pictures and videos everyday. I was happy that my furbabies seemed so happy with her taking care of them that it completely eased my mind. I will definitely be asking her to sit for me again when I'm out of town. The care she provided is priceless!

Emily is wonderful! She is awesome with our pets. She kept us updated with emails and pictures of our boys multiple times a day letting us know how they were doing. She gave them their meds as needed, took our pup for walks multiple times a day, made sure they fed and bedded down all with love. She is our go to caretaker from now on!

Emily is just wonderful! It was so good to be able to go on vacation and not worry about our cats. We received updates and pictures following each of her visits. They were right at home with her from the first meeting. Even shy Holly came right up to her. My sister in law even commented how jealous she was that we found Emily and thinks Emily should move to Des Moines to watch her cats. Emily is very professional and truly enjoys what she does. She was extremely responsive and we liked her background of having worked with vets. She asked numerous questions which allowed her to know the likes and dislikes of the cats. We will definitely be using Emily going forward.

Emily's Pet Care (Emily) provided twice daily care and insulin injections for our cat (Leo) who typically doesn't like people anywhere near him. Their caring manor and persistence on making sure Leo had his injections went above and beyond the call of duty. I was kept informed on Leo's status and was very comfortable knowing he was in the best hands while we weren't available to care for him. Kudos to Emily, as once-grumpy Leo is now her friend! I highly recommend Emily's Pet Care and will happily continue working with them.
