Works at Animal Hospital/dog + cats

Pet care experience

I’ve been working at VCA Animal Hospital for a little over a year as a kennel assistant, and have a bit of experience on the floor as well. I’ve learned a lot about how to take care of sick or injured pets in the last year. For example, I’ve learned how to administer fluids and injections subcutaneously and draw/read blood glucose, among other things. I've been involved with Rover for around four years now, taking up sitting requests intermittently. I am able to take care of puppies, senior dogs, kittens, senior cats, special needs animal and everything in between. Overall, I'm super excited to help take care of your furry friends!

Em was amazing with Rummy (as usual). She was always on time, left everything organized and she’s so caring with Rummy. I would definitely have her watching our little boy again.

Em was great with Buster, and sent lots of photos to show he was having fun and well cared-for. It’s the first time in a while that I didn’t have to worry about him while I was gone!

Em was everything we could have wanted to take care of our girls. I recommend without reservation.

She did an amazing job with my dogs! I have 1 medium sized and 2 large dogs who are all under the age of 5 and rambunctious. This was their first time ever being looked after by someone else. She followed our directions to a T and gave continuous updates with pictures every day. I felt at ease knowing someone so nice and caring was looking after my fur babies. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Safety, trust & environment

I am an attentive and responsible sitter who will take the time to listen and learn the owners' specifications and pets' needs. I've been taking care of dogs with Rover for years now and have never had any complaints!

Information Em G. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs or behavioral problems are important for me to know ahead of time and will become my primary focus when taking care of your pet. I'd also love to learn about your pets personality and perhaps schedule a meet and greet so I can get to know them and you, giving us time to go over anything I need to be aware of for a stay or a visit.

A typical day

I will happily play with your pets with their toys often. If you're dog is very active, I can take them on frequent walks and you can let me know if there are any special places they like to go on walks. If your pet prefers to chill at home and relax most of the time, I'm more than happy to spend that time with them.

I have my job at the hospital part-time while being a freelance artist. I can be very accommodating to owners' scheduling needs as they come up and will always do my best to work it out when I can.
