Lifelong lover of animals!
Pet care experience
I’ve been taking care of my own pets since I was five, and had my first pet sitting job when I was ten. I’ve now been walking/sitting on Rover for over a year! I specialize in bringing home and caring for every stray animal I come across (much to my partner’s chagrin), including but not limited to dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, lambs, foxes and goats. Currently our family home has two cats and a rather large lap dog…and while I’d love more I think my husband is running out of legroom in our bed. So instead, I’ll happily love on your furbabies while you’re at work, out of town, or just plain busy! I can’t wait to meet your pets!
Reviews
Emily is great for dog-walking and dog/house-sitting! Oreo was well-fed, well-loved, and well-exercised. Emily is communicative, flexible, and reliable!
Emily is great and we will definitely continue to ask her to check in with our cat Beans in the future!
Emily is reliable, communicative, and gives my dog so much love and attention when I have long days at work. My nervous dog's happy wiggle butt when she sees Emily tells you all you need to know!
Emily is amazing! She was so communicative and made us feel comfortable leaving our cat Beans in her care. Loved getting the pictures and report card during each of her check-ins. We will definitely continue booking Emily in future whenever we are traveling if she’s available!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe in love and respect for every living creature, from snails to elephants. I use a lot of praise and treats rewards for training, positive reenforcement for good behaviors, redirection for unwanted behaviors. I know how to use a GentleLeader, and I’m happy to work on any skills you’re currently practicing with your dog, from the most basic (sit, stay, etc) to more complex (wait, heel/by me, fetch, etc.). I’ll bring this same gentle energy to your home and family, by being on time, and being as loving and caring with your pets, as I am with my own babes!
Information Emily G. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special needs or allergies, please let me know! Also, if they have certain fears or insecurities, for example, loud vehicles scare them, or squirrels are their arch nemesis, just give me a heads up, so I can help them through those triggers.
A typical day
I love to roam local neighborhoods with the dogs when I first meet them, so they’re on familiar territory while we get to know each other. But I love Waites Mount in Malden for a scenic and easy walk, or any of the Fells trails! Crystal Springs is great! And of course anywhere along the coast is amazing!

Availability
I am a freelance photographer, so I make my own schedule. I have lots of time during school hours while my kids are out of the house, but since my husband works from home my afternoons and evenings are very flexible! Plus, you’ll get really cute pics of your pets from me!
