The On-Call Mom - Homewood

The On-Call Mom - Homewood Trusted support for busy families during summer vacations, holidays, or any work or personal travel days. Hi, I’m Emily, the mom behind The On-Call Mom.

Services include pet and house sitting, safe pick-up and drop-off for teens and pre-teens too old for a sitter, too young for ride-share. I’m a Homewood mom to a 14-year-old son and a proud dog mom to Harley Quinn, our Morkie–Schnauzer mix. This service was created to support families during seasons when life feels extra full — busy weeks, overlapping schedules, work travel, school breaks, and everything in between. I provide trusted, mom-to-mom help so nothing falls through the cracks when parents can’t be in two places at once. My services include pet and home sitting, running errands, and safe pick-up and drop-off for teens and pre-teens who are too old for a sitter but not ready for ride-share. Everything I do is centered around safety, reliability, and treating your home and family with the same care I expect for my own. The idea for The On-Call Mom was inspired by my own co-parenting experience and the gift of having an incredible bonus mom in my son’s life. In fact, my son’s dad and stepmom were my very first customers — I cared for their home and dog-sat their two bull mastiffs while they traveled to Costa Rica for a summer vacation. That experience reinforced how valuable it is to have someone you trust step in while you’re away. I proudly serve Homewood families and look forward to being a calm, dependable presence when life gets busy.
