Information Emily C. would like to know about your pet

What the dogs feeding schedule? Does your dog get along with other dogs/cats? Is your dog possessive of their food or toys? Is your dog permitted in an automobile to visit different areas to walk? Does your dog have any allergies? Does your dog take an form of medication? Does your dog show any signs of aggression? Has your dog ever nipped or bit anyone? If so, what was the scenario?

A typical day

If the doggy is allowed in an automobile, we would visit different parks. We would also walk throughout the dog owners neighborhood or community. There are several pet friendly stores that are dog friendly. Fun things to do, who doesn’t love that?!?! Play ball or frisbee Warm days play in sprinkler or kiddie pool Play tug of war Spend time outside in the sun

No kidding, my 170 pound German Shepherd crawled up and tried to get in her lap within three minutes of meeting her. We really liked her and look forward to using her again.

We had a great experience with Emily staying at our home with our 5 month old French Bulldog, on short notice over a holiday weekend. Emily took great care of our puppy, who can still be a bit ornery and have occasional accidents. She kept us well-informed, asked questions when needed and sent photos at the end of each day. She gave our puppy snuggles, took him for walks and made sure he had plenty of attention. She even helped take our trash out when she realized that the neighbors had theirs out and that we had forgotten! This was our first Rover experience and Emily put us at ease right away, We would highly recommend her to someone who is hesitant to trying this service - she was very professional and treated our home and our puppy like her own. We will definitely book again when the need arises!

Our 10 year old corgi Chummy loved being with Emily. Chummy has a routine in place and Emily was accommodating. She discovered her love for head and ear rubs. She sent photos and videos a couple times a day which was reassuring. We recommend Emily as a trustworthy sitter with love and knowledge of dogs.
