Additionally, I have experience with basic farm animal care, including chickens, horses, cows, and sheep. I have also qualified for titles in sheep herding with my dog and have a good understanding of how to read stock.

Testimonials:

“Emma went above and beyond when it came to looking after my three dogs and my very spoilt cat. During my trip, I received regular updates about my pets and was reassured that they were happy and cared for while I was away. Emma is without a doubt the best house sitter I have used and not only recommend her, but also look forward to having her here again.” - Sophie Bean

“Emma and Chad provided constant updates, photos, and videos – we were even able to FaceTime with Ted – which put our minds at ease. We could see that Ted was being loved – and also having a ball! Thanks to Emma and Chad, we were able to relax and start enjoying our honeymoon. They not only took care of our fur baby but our house was in better shape when we got home than when we left it! I would not hesitate for a second in recommending these guys.” - Jaime Jennings

“Emma and Chad looked after my two indoor (and very needy) cats in my home while I was away for four weeks. My cats were thoroughly cuddled, cleaned up after, and just generally very well cared for. I received regular updates and photos while I was away, and I returned to a home cleaner than I left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to leave their pets and home in safe hands while they are away.” - Claire Murphy

Emma was fantastic in every way as a house sitter and pet sitter. Would highly recommend her, especially for any complicated animal care issues. I noticed that she thoroughly reviewed all instructions given and delivered lots of communication around how she was going with the house sit both before and during the sit. She cared for my two cats very carefully and with alot of warm cuddles and photos sent to me. My cats really liked her and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care I ... MORE

We would highly recommended Emma to any prospective home / pet owner. Emma looked after the house, watered our plants and, most importantly, looked after our needy cat perfectly. She communicates very well, is respectful of the house and the owners and, when we came home, I'm fairly sure our cat was a bit miffed that Emma wasn't staying on! We'd certainly welcome her back in future.
