Pet care experience

Your friendly neighborhood pet ❤️’r

I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I've owned dogs of all breeds and sizes over the years, and currently share my home with my five-year-old Boxer, Olly. Olly has multiple allergies and follows a strict homemade diet, so I understand the importance of sticking to special diets, medication schedules, and individualized care. I know every pet has unique needs, and I'm happy to provide the extra patience and attention they deserve. Rain, snow, or sunshine, walks and playtime are always part of our routine! I've also discovered that I'm quite the cat lover. We adopted our cat, Dodger, a little over a year ago, and he has completely stolen our hearts. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to give them the care and affection they need while you're away. In addition to dogs and cats, I'm comfortable caring for reptiles and small mammals too—just please, no tarantulas! I treat every pet as if they were my own because I know they're family.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that means feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or plenty of belly rubs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and preferences. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, lock doors and make sure your pet is safe before I leave.

Emily is absolutely wonderful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She is kind, attentive, and a true natural with dogs. It’s clear how passionate she is about providing thoughtful, loving care, and her attention to detail really stands out. I am completely confident your dog will be in caring hands. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!

Emily is a reliable, detail-oriented pet sitter who provides exceptional care. With years of trusted experience, she ensures your beloved pets are safe, happy, and worry-free. She has had cats and dogs for many many years and understands all that goes into making them feel comfortable and attending to all of their needs. I highly recommend her, it's nice to be able to go away and know that your pets are in a safe and happy environment.

I can’t think of many people I’d trust more with an animal than Emily. She doesn’t just own pets—she genuinely takes care of them, and there’s a difference. Her dog eats better than most grown adults I know: grilled turkey, rice, apples, bananas, broccoli—the whole damn menu—because Emily pays attention to what she needs and makes sure she gets it. Her cat is spoiled absolutely rotten with love, as every respectable cat probably believes it deserves to be. She is patient, attentive, dependable, and the kind of person who notices the little things with animals because she actually cares about them. And if you need one final character reference, she managed to take care of this old ape for a long time too, which ought to qualify her for just about anything. I would trust Emily with my animals without hesitation.

Emily has helped take care of my GSD/Great Pyr mix for the last 5 years when I have long work days. She is reliable, gentle and kind with my pup. He and my cat, who doesn’t need the extra care but does appreciate the pets and attention when she stops by, love her and I am stress free knowing my pets are in good hands when I can’t make it home to take care of them myself.

Emily's love for all animals is present in her life. She's supported fund raisers for animals in need as well as raising her own fur babies. She's passed this love on to her child and her family. After winning a goldfish at the fair, her nieces took their fish to her since as a child she had one who lived 5 years. Whenever there's an emergency, family and friends don't hesitate to ask Emily for help. Everyone knows that her dedication to helping all animals makes Emily the perfect person to ask for help. When my husband was in the hospital for 10 days, I never once had to worry about our fur baby since I trusted her care to Emily who kept me informed with daily texts and pictures. Emily is a dedicated and trustworthy person in everything she does. .

I cannot recommend Emily enough! Finding someone I trust with my dogs, hedgehog and rabbits is not always easy because they each have their own unique personalities and challenges. One of my dogs is very timid and anxious, and the other is extremely protective and can be difficult to walk, so I knew it would take someone patient, understanding, and confident to earn their trust! Emily has been absolutely amazing with them! She took the time to understand each dog’s needs, helped them feel comfortable, and treated them with so much kindness and care! It means so much to know that my dogs are not only safe, but genuinely cared for and enjoying their time with their sitter while I'm gone! The same goes for my rabbits. They do not do well with change or with me being gone, however Emily has been so patient with them and understanding of their needs! Emily is dependable, compassionate, and truly has a gift with animals! I have complete peace of mind knowing my babies are in her care as shes treats them each like one of her own! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to walk their dogs or care for their pets!

Schedule

My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or care while you're away, I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I make communication a priority. I'll send updates, photos, and plenty of tail-wagging (or purring!) moments so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, or preferences. My goal is to make every stay as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible. I also prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before confirming a booking whenever possible. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, ensure your pet feels comfortable, and make sure we're the right fit for one another.
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.
