A typical day

Daily Activities I will make sure that your dog has the very best time! Unless you request alternative ideas, we will go on walks, run around outside, and do whatever it takes to exert our energy.

Pet care experience

About Me Hello! My name is Emily, and I am currently a senior at UW-Madison studying Wildlife Ecology. I've always had an interest in animals, and I’ve taken multiple biology, wildlife ecology, and companion animals courses in both high school and college. I graduated high school with a 3.9 unweighted GPA and the great honor of Magna Cum Laude, and I’ve taken part in many clubs, including the National Honor Society, DRIVEN Leadership, Yearbook, Best Buddies, and the Mental Health Awareness Club. Pet Care Experience Since I was born, I’ve always lived with a dog. My first dog, Lilly, was a black lab and my best friend. 9 years ago, after she passed, we got our second black lab, Maya, who is the sweetest dog and best companion. I’ve been feeding her, letting her outside, brushing her, walking her, supplying her medicines, and of course, giving her all of the belly scratches and cuddles she needs, for as long as I can remember. I’ve also helped walk and pet sit dogs of all different breeds for many friends and neighbors. This is now my fourth year being associated with Rover, and I have cared for over 70 dogs, cats, livestock, and exotic species! I’ve always held a special place in my heart for animals, and I can guarantee your pet will get the care and love they deserve.

Emily is fantastic! Our dog can get nervous around new people, so she took the time out of her day to visit before we even had walks scheduled to say “hi” to our dog and get him comfortable before she took him for midday walks. Punctual, flexible (we added a day on at the last minute when travel plans went awry), and clearly a great fit with our dog.

Emily did a great job taking care of my cat. She was communicative and shared many pictures. It was obvious that she was keeping her happy and entertained. Highly recommend.
