Pet care experience

I love dogs, and dogs love me!

I’ve cared for my neighbor’s and professor’s dogs since 2012, and got one of my own in 2015. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs: wire-haired, curly-haired, 5 lbs, 90 lbs, puppies, and geriatric dogs. My experience includes bathroom check-ins while owners are at work all the way to overnight, week-long stays.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor walks to the size and age of the dog, and if possible, I like to let the dog make some of the direction choices because it helps their brains. I love playing with dogs from fetch to puzzles. When it’s raining or snowing, I always put down towels by the doors to protect floors from muddy paws and shoes. I’ve always been good about replacing gates as needed to keep my client’s home safe and clean. My mom taught me to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I usually take care of dishwasher and laundry loads before I leave.

Emelyn was great with our dogs, and cleaned up our house including changing our bedding before she left. Highly recommend

Emelyn has been absolutely wonderful. Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does, she always takes such great care of our dog. We come home to a happy, well-exercised pup every time. It’s such a comfort knowing our dog is in such capable and caring hands—highly recommend!

Schedule

I have a full-time job, so the best matches for me will be drop-ins after 5pm on weekdays and overnights with dogs who are used to being left for 8 hours.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Emelyn can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
In the past, my clients have left me with a page of instructions with feeding schedules and amounts, emergency contacts, and vet information. During a meet up, I’d like to get a sense of how social your dog likes to be; I can accommodate all levels, but I like to know so I can keep your dog safe and happy.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
