Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog sitter & walker
I’ve always owned dogs and I’m obsessed!! I’ve had a number of large, high energy breeds so feel very comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I’ve owned a nervous, reactive dog and have struggled finding care for him while we were away and want to be able to help other pet owners that feel the same. I have experience with dog reactive, nervous dogs and am committed to using positive reinforcement to help dogs make the outside world a little less scary. If it takes getting to know your dog a few times before staying with them without you there, then I’m more than happy to do this and work with training methods you have been using and walking in secluded places without other dogs about! Owning a nervous dog can be a really isolating feeling, so please drop me a message if you have any questions or even just want to be able to go out for a bit and not worry about your pup! While I have a lot of experience with slightly more complex dogs, I love working with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also have my Canine First Aid Level 2. I’m currently working for an animal charity whilst working towards my Animal Training Instructor qualification through the Professional Association of Canine Trainers, so I’m happy around dogs with all sorts of behaviours and quirks!

Please let me know any particular or behaviours your dog has, anywhere they are or aren’t allows in your house etc.
Ratings and reviews
Emily is so lovely and Ralph absolutely loved her. No concerns leaving him with her at all, treated him as if he was her own pet and he had the nicest day. Thank you Emily
We are so pleased we’ve found Emily through Rover. She looked after our 4 dogs for a full day and she handled them really well, immediately remembering names and specific requirements for each dog. We couldn’t have found a nice and more reliable person. Highly recommended.
Emily is absolutely amazing. She took time to get to know my dogs before dog sitting them for three days. She’s kind, gentle and really experienced. This was all so important to me as one of my dogs has fear reactivity from his previous life. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, plus my house was spotless when I came home! Thank you Emily ☺️
I can't praise Emily high enough. From a very quick response to my first outreach on here, to leaving my house after dog sitting, Emily has conducted herself with such professionalism. All of my worries and nerves about finding someone to look after my fur baby were gone and I was able to enjoy a break without any worries of how Ruby would be. Every detail was covered and all of my questions answered. And to top it off Ruby feel in love with Emily straight away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emily to others.
Emily was fantastic and can’t recommend her enough. Fantastic with our dog and with Emily you can feel 100% confident that she will take great care of your favourite pups and your home.
Emily was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and she was a dream. She updated us throughout the day with videos and photos of Maui. We left Maui in such good hands. Would recommended Emily to anyone!

Schedule
I currently work fully remotely, so I can be with your pet 24/7! My work is Monday to Friday 9am-5pm so generally my travel to sits needs to be outside of these hours or over lunch, however I do have a fair amount of flexibility on this depending on distance. As I’ll be working from home, I have full flexibility to follow your pets normal routine in the day. If you have a dog with separation anxiety that can’t be left, please let me know and we can work out a plan! For short sits, your pet won’t be left at all unless agreed.

- Please let me know anything and everything about your dog! There’s no such thing as too much information. Let me know if your dog will need any food, anything they can’t have, as well as any training methods you’ve been using so I can build on that and give them a smooth transition! During a meet and greet, we’ll run through everything I need to know as well.
