*** My books are open for the 2025 holiday season! Reach out if you need a pet sitter for this holiday season, I am available. *** Hi, I'm Emily! 👋 I've been pet sitting for over a decade — I started out sitting for family and family friends and have since expanded to working with new clients through Rover. There were always plenty of pets around growing up, so I am no stranger to having pets around me at all times. I’m excited to work with you and your pet! I do a free 20-minute meet & greet with all first-time clients — this is a chance for you to meet me and for me to meet your pet. Together, we'll go over your pet’s care routine and your expectations, as well as how I can expect to get in and out of your home (key, garage door, etc.). If you are new to Rover, I can answer any questions about the app and how drop-ins/walks work. I want you to feel completely confident and comfortable leaving your babies in my care, so lay those questions on me! I have lots of experience working with pets of all dispositions. If your pet is nervous or aggressive when meeting new people, just let me know before our meet & greet, as well as any methods of greeting you'd like me to use when meeting your pet. I am confident caring for pets with medical needs and preparing meals for older pets who don't have quite as many teeth as they used to :) Medications I am experienced in administering include: - liquid oral medication - pills and tablets - insulin injections - eye drops - topical medication - transdermal medication I'm available throughout the work week and on weekends. My "business hours" are 7 a.m. - 8 p.m., and I prioritize bookings that fall in this time range. If you have pet care needs that fall outside of that window, feel free to send me a message and we can try to work something out. Thank you so much for taking the time to consider me as a caregiver for your pet!
