Kind keeper for your sweet pets!

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 experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, hermit crabs, lizards, guinea pigs, and fish! My current pet is a cat named Nina. Because of Nina, I am only accepting dog boarding clients that live with cats or have shown themselves to be comfortable with cats in the past. I've found this leads to a better experience for both my doggie clients and Nina!

Emily took wonderful care of our three cats and kept us well updated with photos! Our cats can be very shy, but they were comfortable with her. She was very thorough and made sure everyone was well taken care of. Thank you!!

Emily is such a wonderful cat caregiver (as well as for our squirrels and birds!). We were able to go on a long-planned trip to Vegas and not worry at all about our furry household (and beyond). We are hopeful that she continues to be a Rover caregiver for a long time to come. Thanks Emily!!!

Information Emily C. would like to know about your pet

-I'll need to know... ...if your dog has any allergies, dietary restrictions, or medications. ...if your dog has issues with other dogs, cats or small animals. ...your dog's typical routine, so that I can emulate it as closely as possible. ...your dog's favorite toys, games, and places to go so that I can incorporate them into your stay, and create a special experience for your pup!

A typical day

I want to create a special experience for your dog during their stay with me! To do this, I'll ask you what your pups preferences are, and frequently incorporate those things into our time together. -I will always treat your dog with patience and kindness. -Your dog and I will go on walks in the neighborhood and in near by Frick Park. -We'll play or cuddle or both! Whatever your pup likes, we'll do!

I'm a graduate from Carnegie Mellon University, living and working in the Pittsburgh Area. I currently teach private music lessons in the evenings, and sing professionally periodically on the weekends. This gives me the flexibility to offer my services at a variety of times throughout the day! I'm available for morning, mid-day, and evening drop ins or walks 7 days/wk. I accept dogs into my home for dog boarding, and dogs, cats and other small critters for drop in visits!
