Safety, trust & environment

I would make sure to meet the needs of your pets and more by communicating with you and establishing your trust first and foremost. I am incredibly detail oriented (especially since I have a high needs cat), so I would have a schedule of your pets’ routine for the day and keep notes of any accommodations when it comes to diet, play time, walks, hygiene, cuddles, and more! I will also be very respectful and clean in your homes, treating it as well as my own if not better!

Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know anything and everything, such as their preferences when it comes to certain foods, treats, toys, etc., what their favorite things to do are in terms of playing or walking, what their personalities are, and anything else that will make me and your pets more comfortable with one another!

A typical day

I enjoy physical activity and take walks/runs daily, so I would love to do the same with your dog (or cat)! I would take them around Ann Arbor on campus, downtown, neighborhoods, or to various parks! I would also play games with them and make sure they are entertained and tired out by the end of the day!

Pet care experience

Hi, everyone! My name is Emily (she/her) and I am a current dental student at UofM! I have prior experience dog sitting and dog walking on Rover during undergrad and have recently joined again to make some money during dental school. I have a 4 yo cat named Archibald whom I recently adopted and I had an elderly cat (who recently passed away at 17 yo) named Annette whom I fostered and ultimately adopted almost 3 years ago. I have taken care of many of my friends’ pets (dogs, cats, hedgehogs, frogs, fish)! I absolutely love animals and will make sure that your fur babies receive the most loving and best care there is!

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.
