A typical day

I love walking dogs up to the Capitol and back. I'm not too far from there and I find that it gets the energy out of the dogs while also providing a fun photo shoot to send back to their owners

Pet care experience

Hey there – my name is Emily and I’ve had dogs around ever since I was a child and I have a dog of my own, a goldendoodle named Dolly (yes, named after the queen of country music Dolly Parton) I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup no matter the breed. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like her own and throw in some pup related puns along the way, look no further. The apartment complex I live in is very secure, you have to have a key fob to get on the elevator. The best part about the building is that there is a fenced dog park on the roof so there is plenty of space for your pup to burn off some extra energy! Dolly is an extremely friendly pup so you’re dog will return to you extremely worn out from playing with their new bestie!

Emily was a great fit for Maple! She took fantastic care of her, and her dog Dolly was a well-matched playmate. We will book with Emily again!

Emily was wonderful and I know Holly had a great time with her and her dog Dolly! Appreciate the regular updates and flexibility. Holly will definitely be back to see Emily again in the future!

Emily was amazing!! She was attentive, communicative, and thoughtful. She took such great care of my dog Piper for daycare and provided updates throughout the day. I came back to a happy and tired pup—exactly what I hoped for. I highly recommend!

Emily was super responsive and accommodating with our last minute request as well as very friendly and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our dog and took her on a nice long walk. Thank you 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.
