About Emily
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with and provide care for animals the last 25+ years. I pet sat for neighbors and friends in high school and college part time. After I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University, I worked in differing environments including outdoor recreation, teaching preschool, retail, human resources, and running operations for a million-dollar company. None of these filled my bucket like animals did but I continued jumping from career to career for fear of ruining my passion with them if I made it a career.
Pet sitting and pet care is not a side job for me. I take this very seriously and treat every critter as if they’re my own. I work with and have experience with small and large animals, special needs animals (cancer, illness, paralysis, Cushings/diabetes, timid, deaf, etc). I am bonded and insured, certified in animal first aid and cpr, have double certifications in equine massage, am a Certified Fear Free Professional and am a member of Pet Sitter Associates (PSA).
I look forward to meeting you and your critters!
Woofs and purrs,
Emily
About Pet Sitting & Care by Emily, LLC
Pet Sitting & Care by Emily, LLC was founded after my own search for pet care. I’d owned horses along with a menagerie of rescue animals my whole life and found all of them needed more attention than a novice could give. After listening to several of my friends in similar situations lament over their inability to take a vacation, I realized there was a great need for these services!
Every pet is special so I take pride in creating individual plans for your unique circumstances. I understand how daunting it can feel to leave your pets while you are gone. My goal is to make sure your pet(s) is relaxed, stays within a familiar routine and gets the same level of care as they would when you’re home. I believe a large part in achieving this includes keeping them in their home and therefore do not offer boarding.
I provide in-home pet/farm sitting and care for the Loveland, Colorado area. Requests for service outside of these will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
