Safety, trust & environment

With my kitty, I wash food and water bowls daily and fill his water bowl with filtered water. He tends to shed, so I brush him daily. Before feeding time, we have a 5-10 minute play session, followed by lots of cuddle time! This is what works for Adagio, but of course, every pet is different. I’m here to work with you to put together a visit schedule that leaves your pet happy and secure while you’re away.

Information Emily C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any known behavioral or health issues ahead of time. The more I know, the better I can take care of your furry best friend!

A typical day

Obviously, walks! I won’t stop your furry friend from sniffing - it actually shows that it’s mentally and physically stimulating for them, so they’re happy and tired when you get home!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager and I have an 8 year old orange tabby of my own named Adagio. I’m well versed in caring for animals of all shapes and sizes and I’m also experienced in administering medication if needed. Thank you for your consideration in caring for one (or more) of your most loved family members. ❤️

We have hired Emily many times to take care of our kitties. They all adore her, even the very skittish rescues. Emily even brought in our chewy package! Thanks again!

I know Pangur feels the love because he comes to the door as soon as Emily arrives. He hides from everyone else!

As always, Emily provided excellent service when caring for my cat. She is not only extremely communicative, but also ikind and conscientious. Emily is the best.

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.
