I feed my two boys right away in the morning and then once more in the late afternoon/night time. I have apple tags for both and occasionally let them roam around my pet friendly neighborhood when the weathers nice. I’m with them almost 24/7 always playing watching them cat nap or cuddling. They’re my pride and joys.

Information Emelyn S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know right away if your pet has any special needs, history of illness, inquiry, or concerning behavior that I can accommodate for. And the good stuff! Tell me what they like and what they respond best to! Any tricks you’ve taught them so far or anything you think they could use some work on dinting be afraid to give me all the details.

A typical day

I love going to parks or open areas with lots of space to roam, explore, and get out lots of energy in to give them the time and space they deserve. As well as challenging them with different surroundings like around the neighborhood around other dogs or higher populated areas like pet friendly stores. Whatever the owner is most comfortable with of course, I’m equipped with lots of activities and the ability to train if necessary.

Pet care experience

Hey, welcome to my page! I have been with Rover since 2023 and with at a doggy daycare facility since 2020. I’m not only qualified to care for almost all animals; I guarantee to provide high quality care with each visit and handle each pet as if they were my own. During my experience at Dogtopia, I have done boarding, open play daycare and some grooming services provided to daycare pups. I was taught to become a trainer in a room up to 30 dogs at once on my own. I’ve learned not only about body language, behaviors, medical emergency procedures, but also certain diseases and treatments; grooming that included head to toe spa treatments like ear cleanings, nail trims, blowouts and de-sheddings.

Emelyn was great!! She house sat for our dog Freya for 6 days in May, responding to our last minute request for help. Emelyn met us and Freya at our home a couple days prior to our trip, and Freya took to her right away!! Emelyn was responsive to texts, sending us regular multiple-daily updates and photos, which we were super thankful for!!! We got home Friday night to a happy, cared-for pup and a very clean house! Thanks so much for everything Emelyn! Freya says hi and thank you, too!😊

Emelyn handled our puppo’s GI issues all week and kept us informed everyday of his symptoms while we were gone.

Emelyn was wonderful with our two dogs. They warmed up to her right away in our initial meet and greet. She has a very calm, relaxing demeanor. While we were away she sent us photos of the pups which was very reassuring. She was helpful around the house and really pitched in when our return flight was delayed by several hours. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her back again.

Emelyn is awesome! From the second our dog, Cami, met her she fell in love and Cami’s not the type of dog to immediately want to play with strangers. We’ve had Emelyn house sit and watch Cami a couple times so far and always come home to a clean house and happy dog. We will continue to use Emelyn because Cami loves her so much and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter.

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.
