Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Emily! I've always had a deep connection with animals, and a natural ability to care for them and connect with them. Because of this, I've had my fair share of pets through the years, all of whom I have adored. I have cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, rabbits, hermit crabs, lizards, guinea pigs, and fish! I’m a graduate from Carnegie Mellon University, living and working in and around the Pittsburgh Area. I’ve been pet sitting through Rover for 8 years, and have had the privilege of helping more pets and families than I can count. My experience helping a large variety of animals with different personalities and needs has allowed me to develop good instincts and judgment when caring for new and familiar pets. I am always grateful to spend time with your furry family members, and hope to make your time away from your pets as stress free as possible for you. I teach private voice lessons online in the evenings, and take class periodically during the day. This gives me the flexibility to offer my services at a variety of times throughout the day! Please reach out to me if you have any questions, or would like to set up a meet and greet to discuss my services further. I look forward to hearing from you!

Emily is amazing!!! My dogs absolutely love her. I have 4 and they can be a handful but they took to her like she’s known them for years. She’s so detailed in what’s happened each day and really gives me such great peace each day she stops in with them. 🩵

Emily always came on time and fulfilled all the requests that I had. She loves animals & gave my cat the attention she needed. Very satisfied.

Emily did a great job watching my pups. They both seemed very comfortable with her in the photos provided and she left my home cleaner than when I left it. I highly recommend her!

We are so happy to have had Emily watch our dog! She took excellent care of our girl and provided lots of updates and photos throughout the week. She also was very respectful of our house and didn’t leave any mess which was very appreciated after a long trip. We will definitely book with her again.
