Responsible, reliable animal lover!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a remote worker, a hobby artist, and an animal lover. I grew up on a small farm with cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, chickens, goats, and even a rescue horse! I wrote my first poem when I was 8 about my dog, Susie, having a litter of pups. Needless to say, animals have always been a big part of my life. I see them as part of the family and I give them the love and attention they deserve. As a pet owner, I understand how difficult it is to leave your fur babies at home, and my goal is to make you feel more at ease knowing that someone responsible, reliable, and responsive is taking the very best care of your pet(s). I recently quit my corporate job at a law firm to start my own consulting company, focus more time on making art, and traveling across the U.S. my goal is to supplement my income as I work to get my business off the ground, and I could think of no better way to do that than doing something I already love—caring for animals. If you’re interested in learning more about me, or have questions about your specific needs, don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s)!
Reviews
Emily house-sat for us and cared for our two pets (one cat and one dog) while we were away for Christmas and she did a great job! She was super communicative and sent many photos and updates. Our pets are a bit quirky and our dog in particular is quite timid. It was clear that Emily did a great job going slow and following Panda's lead because within a couple of days, Panda was cuddling with Emily and begging her for pets. This is no small feat for our pup who has a lot of trauma. We were so appreciative that Emily honored Panda's boundaries in this way. We would definitely have Emily watch our pets again and would recommend her to others! Thank you so much, Emily!
Emily was great! She watched our 2 indoor cats for 5 days visiting twice daily for feeding drop-in visits while we were on vacation. She sent daily photo updates and was attentive to our cats eating habits while we were away making changes as requested with their feeding bowls.
Emily took such good care of our pups and our home! She sent a ton of pictures and made me feel really at ease while we were out of town. She also brought in our packages and left our house in perfect condition! She was very sweet and loving with our babies. Definitely recommend her and would book with her again!
Emily was amazing caretaker for both of our dogs. One puppy and one older dog (8). She spent quality time with them by playing, taking them on walks, and giving plenty of cuddles. This was our first time having a dog sitter and using rover and I was a bit nervous, as we were away for a week. Emily made the process really easy and was very communicative everyday. We will definitely be re booking the next time we need a sitter or are going out of town. Thank you Emily!

I will follow your instructions, ask plenty of questions about your pet’s routine, and hopefully meet you before you travel. My goal is to create a stress free transition for your pet by keeping things as fun and familiar as possible. If anything unexpected arises, I won’t hesitate to reach out, because I know that’s what I would want for my own pets.
Information Emily A. would like to know about your pet
Food, potty, and sleep routines, medications, any behavioral details like if they’re good with other dogs, kids, etc., favorite walk routes, emergency contact information, and general care preferences.
A typical day
I love being outdoors, so if a pup loves walks or hikes, that’s great! I love playing fetch, puppy and kitty snuggles, and administering treats for good boys and girls.

Availability
I have my own business and work remotely so I’m extremely flexible and available. I’m doing the whole “digital nomad” thing right now, and am willing to travel to you, if there’s enough advance notice.
