Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there is any allergies the pet might have, how the pet interacts with people and other animals. We can go over all the information at the meet and greet. I'd want to make sure all the dogs get along and you'd have a chance to see where your pup would be staying.

A typical day

I have several nice areas to walk dogs around my neighborhood. I love to play with pets and their toys. I also don't mind just hanging out on the couch if the pet is more of a napper. I have a deck dogs can hang out on if they enjoy being outside. There is also plenty of toys of all different shapes and sizes.

Pet care experience

I'm a licensed veterinary technician with an emergency background. I've worked with all kinds of different animals. I can give oral medications and injections. I am very knowledgeable about various conditions pets could have (diabetes, kidney disease, etc). I am a very compassionate animal lover. I am very attentive to detail. I have a nice open area behind my house and a deck where pets and sit outside and enjoy the smells. There are plenty of nice walking trails around my neighborhood. My house is animal proof, no dangerous plants, an animal proof trash can, and no dangerous items laying around. I will give your lovely pet lots of attention and love. I am excellent about communicating any problems that might arise and can provide happy updates on how your pet is doing. My two rescue pups are kept up to date on vaccines, heartworm preventive, and flea and tick preventative. My husband works from home full time, so someone will always be around.

Emily is an excellent pet sitter. After asking her to look in on our two cats over several days on several occasions, I have absolutely no hesitancy in asking her to do so. I know that she will give them the care and attention that I want for them when I'm away.

Emily is my go-to pet sitter. She has done drop-in's a number of times for us and never disappoints. We have two skittish cats and she is excellent with both, and always keeps us up-to-date on how they are and what they're doing. I'm never afraid to leave for a week or more, knowing she's keeping an eye on them.

Excellent care as always! With Emily dropping in to check on our two cats, I'm never hesitant to be away for a few days.

Once more, Emily was perfect! I'm stressed every time I leave our cats by themselves, but Emily visits with them, makes sure they are ok, and sends me photos on every visit. And while they are always glad to see us return, they appear completely unstressed themselves. Yea!

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.
