Looking for weekend/after-hour drop-ins, walks, or dog daycare on the Upper East Side? I'm a personal pet care provider offering reliable services for dogs and cats across the UES and Midtown East.
NOTE: Due to my current schedule, I'm unable to provide walks and house-sitting during the work day (8am-5pm)
I'm a trusted sitter for pet parents looking for: - After-work care while you're at dinner - Nighttime & weekend walks - Flexible drop-ins while you're on vacation
I also offer services for out-of-town guests, including hotel sits and daycare at my home (with my friendly pup) while you're out exploring the city. Learn more about my tourist packages below!
Hi, I’m Emily, an experienced pet sitter and crazy dog mom.
After 10 years of caring for pets for neighbors and family friends, I fell in love with pet care and training when I got my mini golden doodle Hazel in 2023.
I started out sitting on Rover to find friends with her to play with, and after about two years, I decided to start my own pet care business. As an over-involved dog mom, I know how hard it is to trust someone with your pet. I have extremely high standards when looking for pet care for my own pup, and I hold myself to the same standard.
Outside of UES Pet Care, I also volunteer with PAWS NY, an organization dedicated to keeping pets in their homes by providing pet care services to vulnerable NYC residents.

Real reviews from happy clients and their beloved pets
Emily was great with our puppy! She was very communicative with updates throughout the day and made sure Clover had all her needs taken care of. She helped her adjust to being in a new space so she was fully comfortable & happy.
Clover, cavapoo
Emily was one of the best dog walkers I’ve ever had! Both Frankie and I adore her. She’s very kind, compassionate and competent. I hope to use her again on my future trips to NY!
Frankie, toy poodle
Emily was great with my cat (also named Hazel!) very communicative and responsive. Very thankful she was able to show up after a snowstorm and in the cold. Highly recommend Emily as a pet sitter!
Hazel, cat
Noodle got along well with Emily‘s dog and I felt reassured that she was having a great time while I was away. I would absolutely book with Emily again in the future if I’m ever in New York City.

Common questions about my pet care services, answered
What to know about my services and policies before you book
A complimentary meet & greet is required for all new clients. This time is important for me to get to know your pet(s) and let them get comfortable with me before the booking. We'll also spend this time reviewing needs and expectations. Virtual meet & greets offered for out-of-town clients!
When you request a booking, you'll receive a quote to review and confirm. Payments are invoiced directly after a booking is completed. I accept cash, Venmo, and Zelle.
I require 24 hours notice for all bookings and cancellations. Last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours) may be subject to a 50% cancellation fee. I understand emergencies happen - please contact me as soon as possible if you need to make changes. For holidays, the required notice period is extended to 7 days.
Although I love all dogs, I'm unable to provide services for dogs with a bite history. Also, due to building restrictions, daycare clients are subject to the following requirements: - Must be neutered (some exceptions may be made for females under 2) - Vaccine records must be provided (Rabies, Bordatella, DA2PP)
