Emily can care for
Availability
I'm currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I usually work weekends during the day and sometimes a weekday or two. For house sitting, the amount of time I'm there depends on how much I work during the day, but I will be there in the morning and evening/night each day I'm there. I will clarify for you which days I am completely available depending on my schedule for the week if you're interested in my services!

About Emily F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for client's pets just as they instruct me to, but I employ my own knowledge as well. The safety of the pets comes first, and if I need to make extra visits while the client is gone, I will make more time to do so or visit on my breaks from work if possible. I'll take other dogs out to play, cuddle, on walks, or whatever fits the individual dog's needs or owner's instructions. I follow any instructions given exactly, and ensure I follow them correctly. If I have any questions or need clarification, I won't hesitate to reach out.
Information Emily F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or instructions in advance I need to account for or research before coming to care for your pet. I like to be prepared to do the best I can for your animals
A typical day
For dogs, if they seem up for it, I'll take them on a fun walk or to a nearby park for a good sniff session, maybe go to lunch at a dog friendly restaurant, play games with them like fetch or tug-of-war, or do some basic trick training or breed-specific activities for mental stimulation. It all depends on the dog’s personality and needs, though. For cats, I’ll see if they’re interested in playing with toys or pets, and if not I’ll let them be. I might see if I can bring a nice cardboard box for them to play with ;)

Pet care experience
I've adored dogs my whole life and have cared for many since I was around 9 years old. I can do pretty much anything for your pets! I have experience walking, playing, grooming, poop-scooping, bathing, and administering different forms of medications (pills, ear drops, anti-fungal paw treatment, oral liquids). I do not reinforce bad habits such as jumping up on people, and I am familiar with dog body language. I have taken care of some of senior dogs, one of which needed help moving around and was mostly blind. High-energy dogs and young puppies are no problem! I do some basic training, too. Let me know if you'd like regular updates and I'll be more than happy to do so!

Reviews
Emily sat for my 5 pets over the weekend at my house and was the dream petsitter. I've been using Rover for 10 years and she is one of the great ones who you try to rebook every time you need a sitter. She was extremely conscientious about the routines of each pet, used great judgment when random things arose (one of the pets is a puppy, another one is an escape-artist cat). Most of all, I could tell that she wasn't trying to avoid being at my house which sometimes is a sense I get with others. She's kind, patient, mature, hard working, and respectful. Just a dream. Thank you Emily!
Emily loves animals! She is so sweet to our dog. Not only is she responsible with his feeding, water, and medications, but she takes time to talk with him and play with him. He actually smiles and gets excited when he sees Emily- that’s saying something for an older dog. She’s the BEST! Highly recommend her!!
