I love spending time with kitties, playing with them and giving them plenty of affection. You’ll receive updates about your furry friend(s) while you're away! I live in Ottawa.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

Spending time with cats is truly fulfilling and brings me joy. I love keeping them company while offering their owners peace of mind with reliable and caring pet sitting.

I'm a lifelong cat lover, having cherished my own feline companions until my twenties. In recent years, I've cared for several furry friends while pet-sitting. I truly enjoy spending time with cats — playing with them, petting them, and simply keeping them company. In my free time, I love running outdoors near Gatineau Park. I also enjoy photography and movies. I'm tidy, reliable, and highly respectful of others' spaces — I see it as a privilege to be in your home and will take great care of ...

I work from home and only need a Wi-Fi connection, which means I can be present for your cat throughout the day. I look forward to meeting you — and your feline friend(s). Je parle aussi français.

Emma came to our rescue after the death of a sibling out West. We had to leave on very short notice and she kindly agreed to step in so that we could travel without having to worry about our precious kitties. We are so, so grateful! As always, the cats were so well taken care of and the house was left immaculate. Merci tellement Emma!

We have had the pleasure to have Emma look after our cat Beau twice now. She treats Beau with the kind of attention and affection she would to her own pet. Beau is immediately at ease and for us, welcome peace of mind when we are away. It is hard to imagine someone being more thoughtful, caring, and attentive than Emma - who also leaves our home in immaculate condition. Hard not to overstate how much we appreciate her when we are traveling.

It’s always such a pleasure to know Emma is looking after our kitties. We added a third one to the mix - a kitten, no less - and he took to Emma just like the other two. Never a moment’s worry knowing Emma is there. The house was so well looked after too. Merci infiniment Emma! À la prochaine :)

It's hard to say too many good things about Emma: she is wonderful. She connected immediately with our somewhat fussy cat and was very attentive. She looked after our house and left it spotless. She really is amazing. We are so grateful and appreciative to have found her on this platform. To paraphrase an old insurance ad: your house (and cat!) is in good hands...with Emma!
Emma was our second house-sitting experience, and though we never met in person, we had a Facetime conversation ahead of time. She looked after our house and 3 cats for 15 days and everything went incredibly smoothly. She sent regular updates with photos, and knowing that all was well at home, allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation! We came back to a house which was exactly as we left it, all clean and tidy and to 3 kitties that clearly received plenty of love and attention in our absence. We ...

Emma is so wonderful. Our cats clearly love her (she even won over our scaredy cat who normally hides when new people come into the house). She left our place spotless and even liquefied our rock hard honey! Thank you, Emma ☺️

Comme toujours un plaisir d'avoir Emma avec mes petits amours. Je pars toujours, sereine quand elle garde mes minous. Merci!

Emma was awesome. We’d have her back any time. Merci Emma!
Emma is your dream house sitter. Respectful, reliable, experienced, she left my home impeccable and my cat Louki well cared for. I recommend her without hesitation.
Emma took such great care of my two newly adopted VERY skittish cats that one of them is now hardly skittish at all and the other one came out of hiding for the first time. And she left my apartment in such a tidy, immaculate state it looked like it had been professionally cleaned. Always responded to my emails within hours if not minutes and send me frequent bulletins about the cats. I hope to have her back.

Encore une fois mes petits amours étaient bien choyés avec Emma. C est super de pouvoir partir la tête tranquille en sachant que tout est sous contrôle et qu' ils sont heureux. Merci encore une fois!!
It was great having Emma as our house sitter! She was so communicative, always nice to us and she shared updates about Carlota every day without us even asking for it. The house looked perfect when we returned and Carlota was happy and healthy, which is the most important thing after a sit. I would definitely have Emma back for another house sit and I recommend her 100%. Thank you Emma!!

La communication super fluide et pleins de photos pour me rassurer, un plus pour moi. Encore merci Emma !!
