Safety, trust & environment

Want to know my least favorite thing about hiring sitters for my pets? When they don’t follow an important instruction or don’t pay attention to what they’re doing (looking at you, dude who closed the cats out of the room with the litter box!) I know the pet peeves (excuse the pun) of being an owner, so I can be trusted as a sitter - lots of pictures and updates (unless you ask not to be disturbed), high attention to detail, and high awareness of safety around other dogs outside. I will only let your pup play with others if you want them to, and only then if the other dog is signaling “friendly.” I do not “pack walk.” Every animal has their own personality and needs, and I look forward to getting to know your pets!

Information Emily F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know: -if your dog is nervous around other dogs or people, and anything that helps them remain calm on walks -any medical needs -your pets’ little peccadilloes so that I can go the extra mile to make them happy

A typical day

I love walking and running in the park. I love playing fetch with pups (on long leads, not off leash) and letting their nose lead the way on exploration walks. I enjoy getting a cat engaged with a toy and showing off their acrobatic skills.

Attentive walker and pet sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve owned and worked with dogs and cats my entire life, including being the primary trainer for a puppy. I also have experience with rabbits and other small pets. I can administer medicine with the exception of IV/injections. I have personal experience with senior pets with health issues, so I am accustomed to giving that extra level of care. I am also experienced at running with dogs - but this service depends on the dog and I do not offer it for dog over 70lbs. Please message me if you are interested in this service to discuss further! Whether you need someone to spend a long visit playing with your pet or are just looking for a quick check in, I’m available! You can trust that I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I do my own.

It’s such a pleasure working with Emily! It is quite helpful having her feedback on how my puppy is doing with every walk. Emily has even helped Luna learn new tricks! :)

Emily is THE best. 100,100,100% I have had other walkers from here and other services, and she is the kindest, most trustworthy we have ever come across. We are helicopter pet parents and she puts our minds at ease.

We love Emily! Our half husky Mina always comes home exhausted and blissed out from a walk with Emily.

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.
