Hello, my name is Emily. My mom and I began dog walks and drop ins when we moved to IL in 2019. Many times I came along and helped until I turned 18 and began taking on my own walks. My mom, Caryn, is now a full time ICU nurse and has turned over this account to me. With that said, she will still monitor the account and will sometimes accompany me when she is able. I have been taking walks and drops ins by myself since Spring 2024. I am 19 years old and currently a freshman at JJC. I have experience with big and small dogs as well as cats. In addition, I have experience walking two dogs at once. A previous client had 2 German shepherds that I walked weekly throughout the fall and winter. One of which was an untrained puppy. We have a German shepherd at home named Lady and a 13 yo Yorkie. Most of my clients are repeat and I currently walk a GSD (80lbs) twice a week since last spring. Last fall I took care of 6 special needs dogs alongside my sister, Brianna. We did this 5 nights a week, every other week, for several months. 3 needed diaper changes and one was in a wheelchair. I do have experience giving pills if needed. With all of my clients I request that a meet and greet is set up prior to booking. This allows me to meet your pup and to make sure we are a good fit. I can then answer all the questions you may have and discuss any final details.

Emily was friendly, considerate and communicative. She took great care of my cats and went above and beyond my instructions. I am very pleased with her work and would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care.

If your dog has any special needs please let me know. I can administer pills or shots and other medications to your dog/cat if needed. It is also helpful to know words your pet is associated with and any signs or commands they know. For instance we use “off” but others may use “down”. Knowing these things can help a great deal.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
