Highlights
Pet care experience
Tail-wagging care for your pup
I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny Boston Terriers to gentle giants like Great Danes. I've helped raise puppies, cared for senior dogs, and supported rescue pups as they transition into their new homes. I’m comfortable managing multi-dog households, having looked after up to five dogs at once, including providing post-operative care and administering medications when needed. Currently, I share my home with two amazing dogs of my own—Hank, a Dogo Argentino, and Harley, a Cane Corso—who bring so much joy and love into my life. I treat every dog I care for like family and always aim to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment while their humans are away.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m lucky to have 33 beautiful acres for my pups to explore, so they get plenty of space to roam and enjoy the outdoors. But we never go it alone—I'm always right there with them, whether we're hiking through the woods, wandering the trails, or playing with their favorite toys. When we're inside, you'd never guess how adventurous they are—because they instantly transform into the biggest lap dogs! They love nothing more than curling up for cuddles, getting cozy in bed, and enjoying their favorite treat: relaxing coconut oil massages.
Ratings and reviews
Emily is very responsible and caring ; our dogs took to her immediately 😁 Our flight was slightly delayed upon our return - we let her know and she responded immediately that we were not to worry she had us covered. Also our dogs are senior country dogs and Springers known to take a dip in one of our ponds so possibly getting a bit muddy… shewas sensitive to their needs as active and senior dogs and also hosed them down when needed-they may have looked even cleaner than when we left! lol Thank you Emily!
Emily was wonderful with our two dogs .
We had done a meet and greet previously and the dogs took to her immediately. We had booked her for a longer stay later this Fall but had a short event to attend sooner for which we had booked another sitter. Emily stepped in for the overnight stay at last minute when original sitter unfortunately had to cancel-all went well - she was punctual and and dogs seem to love her- Thank you Emily- puppies look forward to seeing you for the longer stay soon😄
Emily is kind, calm, professional-we returned to a home of happy dogs and the cat - we look forward to having Emily work with us again.
We had the pleasure of having Emily dog sit our two pups, our 100lb Doberman and our 5lb Miniature Pinscher and she handled them both with absolute ease! It was our first time using the Rover app, as we’ve always relied on friends and family, but we’re so glad we connected with Emily on the app. Emily was wonderful to work with, professional, reliable, and great with dogs. Our pups were well cared for and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and experienced to watch your fur babies, I can’t recommend Emily enough! 🐾
I wholeheartedly recommend Emily as a pet sitter. I’ve known her for over five years, and during that time I’ve consistently seen how naturally she connects with animals. She is attentive, loving, and deeply committed to the well-being of any pet in her care. When Emily is pet sitting, the animals truly come first. She’s diligent about making sure all their needs are met—whether that’s feeding, exercise, medication, or just plenty of affection and companionship. She gives animals her full attention and makes them feel safe and cared for. On a personal note, my own cat is absolutely obsessed with her. He usually takes a while to warm up to people, but with Emily, he comes right over and stays glued to her side the entire visit. That kind of bond speaks volumes.

Schedule
I currently work part-time as a Registered Massage Therapist and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, which allows me to be available when you and your pup need me most. I'm fully available Friday through Monday, and with a little notice, I can often accommodate Tuesdays through Thursdays as well. This flexibility means I can provide consistent care and attention, whether it’s for a quick drop-in or extended stays.
