I know being away from your pet can be tough, so I send lots of photo and video updates to help you feel connected and at ease while you’re apart. My goal is for you to relax knowing your dog is not only well cared for—but also having fun!

Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet

To make your dog’s stay as comfortable as possible, I like to learn their routine, favorite toys, energy level, and any special needs or medications ahead of time. The more I know, the more I can make them feel comfortable and right at home from the moment they arrive.

A typical day

Every dog is different, and I tailor care to match each one’s personality and energy level. Energetic pups can enjoy fetch, backyard play, or enrichment games, while calmer or senior dogs get extra cuddle time, gentle walks, and a relaxed space to nap.

Pet care experience

Hi there! 👋 I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to caring for dogs! I work from home full-time, so your pup will have company, love, and attention all day long. I treat every dog like family—lots of patience, playtime, belly rubs, and cuddles included. 🐶 Whether your dog’s an energetic adventurer or a laid-back nap buddy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. 💸 If you’re new to Rover, you can get $20 off your first booking with me here: rover.com/sit/emilyd65306

Emily was fantastic again taking care of my pup for daycare. She sent adorable pictures and videos throughout the day and did a report card. She is very reliable and communicative, and I know my pup is loved and safe with her. You can’t put a price on that!

Punkie’s daycare visits at Emily’s have been wonderful! Punkie comes home tired and happy. I always receive photos and videos throughout the day showing how much fun she’s having with Emily’s dogs. I always feel comfortable leaving her knowing that she will be safe and happy there.

Emily kept my dog Punkie for several nights and even let us squeeze in an extra day that wasn’t originally planned. She’s fantastic and Punkie had a blast! I never have to worry about her when she’s with Emily. Highly recommend!

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.
