My name is Emma Smilie and for more than 10 years, I’ve been caring for pets and homes throughout Mansfield, Arlington and the surrounding area. What started as a part-time job has grown into something I truly love — and today, E&S Home Sweet Hound is my full-time business.
I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses and more, providing everything from walks, feeding and medication to overnight care and extended stays. While you’re away, I also help look after your home, keeping an eye on things and giving you added peace of mind.
I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable and cared for in their own home while you’re away.
I’m a proud cat mom to Simba and was lucky to have my beloved German Shepherd, Sashi, who will always be part of my love for animals.
When I’m not caring for pets, I’m an aspiring author working on my first novel.
I can’t wait to meet you — and your pets!
