Lover of all furry friends!

Pet care experience

About Me Hello! My name is Emily, and I am currently attending UW Madison to study Wildlife Ecology. I've always had an interest in animals, and I’ve taken multiple biology classes, and 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 second 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 AMAZING! She watched our pups (and our kitty too) for the day and night of our wedding. She’s punctual, communicates with us, and was an absolute sweetheart to our fur babies. They must have had an amazing time because they were tuckered out from all the fun and love they got while we were away! The pictures she sent of them snuggling up with her said it all! I have a tough time letting my fur babies into the care of others for longer periods of time, but Emily was 10/10 great and completely relieved all my stress!

Emily has taken great care of my two pups! They love seeing her and getting to play during the day. Emily sends notes and adorable pictures after each visit. She’s been very accommodating to my busy schedule and has helped me immensely!

Emily did a fantastic job with our boy Chevy. She is extremely kind and patient and overall put our minds at ease while we were away. We had never used a pet sitting service before, and were so grateful she was available. She came over before hand for a meet and greet and provided us with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her!
