Availability

I have been working with a wide variety of animals since I was 14 and have quickly learned that every pet has different needs. I set up meet and greets before sits or dropins to make sure I really get to know you individual pets needs and tailor my schedule to that. My work schedule can be a little variable but am always super upfront with what it will be when you put in a request so we can make sure I can meet your pet’s needs!

Safety, trust & environment

I love getting to a do a meet and greet before we book to give your pet some time to get to know me as well as get to talk through their needs and any routines. Safety and transparency are super important to me so expect lots of picture updates in addition to a mini rundown each day!

Information Emily D. would like to know about your pet

I love knowing favorite snacks and toys, any games they enjoy, typical daily routine and any allergies and emergency contact info to make sure your pet is comfy safe and happy

A typical day

I believe in tailoring a day to the pet. If you have a high energy pup we might take a walk to a park and take a long walk or play fetch for a while before heading home to play with some toys. If you have a lower energy pup it might look more like a 15 minute walk and some pets on the couch.

Our dog was being extra shy and nervous but Emily helped her work through her fears. Thanks, Emily!

Emily gave great daily updates with pictures for drop in visits. I could see my cat getting more and more comfortable with her every day. I even got some "belly-up" pictures, which is a big deal for him! He is very shy so it means a lot for him to be comfortable enough to expose his belly to someone. This took a lot of the stress off of being away. Thank you, Emily!

Emily did a great job! Took great care of my dog + cat and left my home in wonderful shape. Would absolutely book again for house sitting or any other service.

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.
