Pet care experience

We'll treat your dogs like family!

I am an animal lover with three dogs, two bunnies, two axolotls, and two kittens. My axolotls generally live in my classroom, where they are adored by my students, and one of my pups is a certified therapy dog who often joins us. I’m excited to take your dog on as many walks as they’re up for. I’m always very safe when I walk them and give them lots of attention and treats. I’m also willing to discount walks if you are OK with my dog coming with me and your pup. She loves everyone, and has boundless energy. I am a Spanish teacher at a local middle school and during the school year I have to walk around my work schedule, but I will always do my best to accommodate you. Weekends and breaks I am off can usually help out a few more families. My 10-year-old daughter often likes to join me on walks and visits as well. She has never met a dog. She doesn’t love it. Typically all dogs love her back. She is definitely a Rover walker in training.

Emily was great at communicating feedback each day. She sent a picture of the cat each day also. :-)

Emily is great with my dogs and extremely responsive. She made my life so much easier and I highly recommend her. She also leaves the best notes in her Rover cards. ❤️

As a longtime Rover sitter myself, it was really important to me that I had someone that was detail oriented and would take exceptional care of my dog. Emily did just that this week and she sent a Rover card each time and was very detailed in her notes, which was also helpful given my dog has been on a medication. I loved seeing them bond via photos as well!

Emily is absolutely amazing. It’s clear she loves animals and she has a way with them! We’ve been trying to socialize our pup by having more people drop by and Emily was so understanding about the situation! She’s been great with our dog, Rigatoni. She’s patient, kind and knowledgeable!

Schedule

I am a teacher so during the summer I have lots of extra time. In the fall, I revise my hours. I’ll make sure your dog gets good exercise and some snuggles.

I would like to know if your dog is good with other dogs and/or kids. I have no breed preferences. I also need to know that your dogs are up to date on their flea and tick control, as well as their vaccines.
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.
