We hit the jackpot with Emily! Our rescue terrier mix Isla was a recent and unexpected (in terms of timing) addition to our family. She had been with us for three months, finally adjusting to her new life and family, and comfortable in her new home, so we were nervous about boarding her and how she’d do in a completely new environment. Commercial kennels are no longer an option for us due to a host of issues we’ve encountered over the years, especially now with the canine respiratory illness outbreak looming. Therefore, we set out to find a petsitter through Rover. We needed someone who knew how to care for recently adopted dogs and understood that these dogs may still have some quirks that they need to work on as they transition into their new forever home. Isla is a sweet lovebug, but she sure challenged Emily at times! Isla reverted to some of her old habits (that we had corrected through training and conditioning) during her stay with Emily, but Emily handled it with grace and infinite patience. She was very professional and provided great communication with daily updates and pictures/videos. She walked Isla multiple times a day, and took her to explore different locations and landscapes. It was evident that Isla felt happy and loved with Emily, and that put our minds at ease. We were able to actually enjoy our much needed trip without stressing and worrying. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication caring for our Isla, Emily.

Emily is a fantastic sitter and we’ve enjoyed working with her numerous times. We are very protective of our dog and trust Emily 100% to take amazing care of her!
