A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
Growing up, I spent the bulk of my time with animals - fostering kittens, adopting rats, volunteering with a group who rode horses for therapy, pretending my childhood dog was a show jumping horse, etc. Even after moving out on my own, I continued to own cats, volunteer with the elderly for pet therapy and bring home the occasional goldfish.
​
After my son was born, I obtained my business administration degree and taught him to love and respect animals as much as I did. We have rescued a husky who was trained to become a service dog, learned that our pet ducks prefer Ritz crackers and moved across the country as a military family.
​
After moving to Whidbey Island, I was hired on as Veterinary Administration for two separate clinics, where I was lucky enough to experience the joys of all things pet related. I found a special kinship with many of my clients and was thrilled to be able to help families through both the happiest moments as well as the hardest moments.
​
Based out of Coupeville, we currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats and some fish. Two of our dogs are Lapponian Herders which are high intelligence, stubborn herding dogs. Our newest "puppy" is a rescue from NOAH who turned out to be a husky/Australian Shepherd mix, who always keeps us busy!
One of our cats was captured off of Heller rd, covered in puncture wounds and nursed back to his sassy self. Another was adopted as a kitten found in the back of a garage. Lastly, our 20 year old calico, Punkin (for whom the company was named) has been travelling with us since 2006 and currently runs our entire household.
​
In 2025, we decided to expand and brought on a few new team members who have made my job even more delightful! In doing so, we're able to cover more needs and expand our services, in ways I never even thought possible! And as an added bonus, I get to get coffee with some of my favorite people on a regular basis ;)
​
Our team currently works with the Rover Come Over Pet Care as well as the Whidbey Equestrian Center in Coupeville.
​
Previous clients have included chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, horses, cats, dogs, hamsters and a tortoise. :)
Why we do what we do
Meet Oona...
After adopting our dog, Oona, our family realized that her situational anxiety made it almost impossible to feel comfortable leaving her in a kennel or doggy daycare. While leading a very sheltered life at a previous owners' house, even walking to the end of our driveway was terrifying for her, much less relocating to an entire new place without any familiar faces. ​And this is where our in home pet sitting services began.
Speaking to other local pet owners, we found we were in the same boat with many other families whose pets had medical issues, anxiety, fear of the unknown, past behavior issues, age discrepancies and a multitude of other complications. ​And so we began offering select services to some of the best clients on Whidbey Island!
Meet the Team
Welcome to Punkin Pie
We are thrilled to welcome new clients during our merger with Jessica's Mobile Pet Service. Exciting times are ahead as we announce new services for the future to include nail trims, anal glands, basic baths, teeth and ear cleaning! Our goal is to be completely merged and running by August so bear with us as we figure out our bumps along the way :)
If you'd like to be ahead of the game, feel free to email me at emily@punkinpiepetservices.net to request access to our software (Time to Pet) or to send your most recent rabies vaccination! We can also discuss meet and greets for those families who we aren't able to meet during the training period :)
​
(Please also be patient while our current questions are primarily based around in home care. We will be updating everything over the course of the next few months.

Lots of love!!
