Availability

I work out of the home most of the time but I make my own schedule and work within the community. So I’m able to schedule check ins through out the day. However, because of this, I typically keep puppy or high needs (requiring constant monitoring) to weekends and holidays. My husband also helps with check ins throughout the day and some days, I am home most of the day since I have some hybrid work as well :) but I like to do a walk in the morning and evening, at least. I also enjoy enrichment time with indoor activities or training in the evenings or during poor weather. I am available many holidays, just reach out.

Safety, trust & environment

I am okay with fenced or unfenced, as I am happy to walk your pup with a leash. I would want to know if they have issues walking though so I can plan for that and ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for everyone :) i take care of the home i am sitting as much as the animals, and i pride myself on leaving things better than i found them. I’m very meticulous and usually, you’ll hardly know I was there.

Information Emily g. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if any medical needs, behavioral issues, how they walk on a leash, where they stay when they are home alone, and their temperament. I can handle dogs who are high needs or have behavioral issues, my own have had those, I would just want to communicate to ensure we are on the same page and I know what works best for your pet. I would get their vet contact, but in the event you didn’t give me that I would likely use my preferred vet in the area- Bonnie Brae Vet Hospital or the emergency hospital in Flat Rock, NC.

A typical day

We can do all kinds of activities! Walks and cuddles are automatic daily, unless you request otherwise or your pet does not do walks. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with dogs like sniff play, chews, scratch boards, short little training, or playing with their toys. I’m happy to go on a ride to a park or walking trail. I typically avoid dog parks for my own animals.

Pet care experience

Hello! I have 12+ years of experience caring for pets. 10 years caring for a multiple pet household and 3 years of pet sitting experience. Big and littles! I am new to Rover but can provide references from families I have pet sit for outside of Rover. I can handle medications and other daily needs. I have a lot of fun with animals but understand they also need a lot of structure. Most of my experience is with high drive and energy dogs that I know require exercise, enrichment, and structure. I have experience navigating training tools like ecollars if your pup utilizes those, and would follow your specific training system for your pet. We can go on walks in your neighborhood or a drive out to a walking trail. I’m familiar and comfortable with pups that are crate trained as well. Anxious doggos are no problem, I would just want to get info on how you best care for them when they struggle. I welcome dogs of all ages, and especially love carrying on any training you may be doing with your puppy or adult dog.i live in Rutherford county nc but am available in the greater Asheville area since my work is flexible locations.

Emily is a caring, responsible and loving pet owner and caregiver. I have seen her first hand with my dog, as well as her own animals. She loves spending time with them, keeping them active both physically and mentally. I definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter.

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.
