I use to do Rover full time in the summers and on and off through my schooling. At this current moment in time I commute to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays Im not home from 11am-4pm. Although I will not be home at those given times, my mom will be. She is the person who watches any dogs I am dog sitting. My repeat clients know my mom well and she is very trustworthy. All the other days I will be at home.

Pet care experience

I'm a 23-year-old who attends UIC for psychology and the OT program. I have had pets since I was little and know how to care and love for them. I know how scary it is trying to find a good sitter to look after your pet while you are away which is why if you book me, I will send you frequent updates including pictures and videos so you can be at ease. I have a fenced yard that is big enough for any dog to run around in, so if your dog doesn't do well with walks, the backyard is enough for them to get their exercise in. If I ever have to leave the house for an errand, your dog won't be alone because either my mom or sister along with my younger siblings will be at home. Your dog will feel at home and can treat my place as their own. If you have any questions or are interested in booking with me, please don't hesitate to reach out.

It’s my first time using Rover to board my two dogs and I must say I’m glad that I found Emily! She’s responsible and responsive. And they have plenty of playtime in the yard at her house which is incredible!

Emily was great with Xurro. She was very thoughtful and shared updates and pictures frequently. She took great care of him, specially with all his allergy restrictions.

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.
