Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Best Friend!

I have worked with and loved many animals throughout my life; gaining experience by working with rescues, shelters and non-profit organizations benefiting dogs, cats and horses in Iowa and Virginia. I have also worked in the pet care industry my whole life. I was a Pet Groomer for 10 years, have worked closely with trainers, supervised daycare & boarding, and have spent the last 3 years in Veterinary Medicine as a Veterinary Assistant. I currently share my home with 3 dogs and a cat. I often care for my parents' dogs; one of which is Diabetic & has recently gone blind. Helping her learn to enjoy walks again has been a great experience! I have experience in most aspects of pet care; dog sitting, boarding, basic First Aid, administering oral & injectable medications, grooming and training, and know that each pet needs a unique, gentle approach. First and foremost I believe in making your pet comfortable by sticking to their (and your) schedule as much as possible. By keeping feeding, walking & potty times the same, I can provide and calm and happy presence for your pet through a positive attitude and relaxed demeanor. I also enjoy providing enrichment for you pet through play, walks, games and treats.

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping your pet safe is my number one priority. From making sure doors and gates are securely shut, to triple checking medicine before it’s given and using an additional slip lead for walks and transport, nothing goes unnoticed!

Emily is by far the most kind and compassionate animal lover we know. Emily was our groomer while she lived in Virginia until she moved to the midwest. There is no doubt that she will be an amazing dog sitter and animal care giver. I only wish we lived closer so she could assist us as we could definitely use her services! If I had my way I'd fly her back East to groom our dogs and pet sit for our fur babies! :) She is the best!

Emily has an amazing way with dogs. She's patient and calm and so loving. I would trust her completely with my animals any time. She is an exceptionally talented groomer, particularly with nervous animals. I highly recommend her for any service.

Schedule

Pet care is my life! I am available most every day to help you keep your pets happy and healthy, and to help them thrive in their own, comfortable environment. From a walk around the block a couple times a week, to daily drop in visits while you're at work, and finally house sitting when you're on that special trip, I'm here to be that special friend your pet needs!

All pets are different; learning their likes, dislikes, favorite toys and regular schedule before our first visit helps me to provide the best care possible. Any meds, medical conditions or allergies are also important for me to know!
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.
