Information Emily B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has any specific needs along with any information about their likes or dislikes so I can accommodate for anything your pet may need! I have experience with dogs that suffer from reactivity outside the home so I can accommodate for this as well.

A typical day

I go to the dog park within the community most days (if allowed by you) and sometimes use Sniffspot (renting neighbors large backyards) so your pup will get to expend their energy!

Pet care experience

I have TONS of animal experience! Throughout my life I have cared for many animals from lizards to chickens to guinea pigs and of course cats and dogs. I'll make sure your furry friend will get as much love and care as if they were my own, for that's something even I would worry about when choosing someone to look after my pet. I pay extra attention to detail and if your dog or cat has any special requirements I can try to accommodate! *For boarding I can only take pups that are okay with being crated if I need to leave home for quick errand or during feeding time for their safety for those that struggle with separation anxiety.*

Emily was the best!! She took great care of my cat and sent the sweetest pictures of him. I will definitely book her again if I need a pet sitter!

Emily visited our cats on relatively short notice over a holiday weekend. She was very communicative and easy to work with! We would definitely book with her again.

Emily took excellent care of Logan. She's very attentive and sent so many pictures and videos to keep us updated. Logan had a blast!

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.
