Loving and Passionate Pet-sitter!

Hi, I’m Emily! Over the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with several pet parents on Rover and have loved building relationships with them and their pets. It’s been such a rewarding experience, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pup, too! Because I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide lots of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the day. I have experience with puppies, reactive dogs, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I love taking dogs on long walks around Fort Mason and other nearby trails, and I’m familiar with quieter routes and open spaces that allow us to avoid other dogs when needed. I also have access to a secure enclosed tennis court for supervised off-leash play and extra exercise. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure you receive plenty of updates and photos along the way. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to be part of your dog’s routine!

Emily was fantastic! She was so sweet and communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our sweet pup was comfortable. Our puppy had some specific diet and medication needs and she was able to follow those with no problem. She sent daily photos and updates and our puppy seemed so happy and comfortable with her. Would go back to Emily again in a heartbeat!

I’m very particular about my dog sitters, and Emily was absolutely fantastic! She helped us out last minute, was incredibly accommodating with drop-off and pickup times, and wrote the absolute best updates throughout Ellie’s stay. I felt so relieved knowing Ellie was happy and in the best hands. We’ll absolutely book with Emily again!

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter in Emily! Her professionalism and communication truly shined from our first meeting until we picked Maverick up after a weekend of walks, sunshine, and fun. She was so gracious in setting up a meet and greet with us earlier in the week, which really put our minds at ease. The questions she asked made it clear she's not only a dog lover, but also responsible and thoughtful about the small things that ensure pups are comfortable away from home (feeding schedules, allergies). Throughout the weekend, she sent photos and videos and kept us in the loop on how Maverick was doing. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Emily is the best dog sitter around! She provided a caring and loving environment for my dog, Ellie, from the start to finish with a number of photo and text updates in between. She has excellent attention to detail and is also a wonderful human being. 10/10 recommend!

Emily took wonderful care of our 11-month-old golden Murphy during an extended stay while we were on vacation. She sent regular updates the whole time, so we always knew he was in great hands. We’d absolutely recommend her, Murphy can’t wait to see her again next time we’re away!

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible, and because I work remotely from home, I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care. Whether your pup loves long walks, extra playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day and adapt to their routine. I’m also flexible enough to accommodate changes in routine or last-minute requests. If it feels like a good fit for both of us, I’d love the chance to care for your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With years of experience working with reactive dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, I understand the importance of providing a secure and stress-free environment for all types of personalities and needs. Whether it’s managing leash reactivity, helping anxious dogs feel calm, or offering extra care to senior pups, I always tailor my approach to ensure your dog feels safe and supported. I use only safe, dog-friendly spaces like enclosed tennis courts for off-leash play, and on walks, I take peaceful trails where we can avoid other dogs if needed. Your pet’s well-being is never compromised, and I make sure they are always in environments that promote comfort and relaxation. I also believe in building trust—not only with your pet but with you as well. I keep open lines of communication, sending regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and in good hands. My goal is to create a positive, safe space for your furry friend, where they’ll feel loved, secure, and excited for each day spent together.

A typical day

A typical day with me as your dog sitter is full of care, attention, and lots of fun! I start the day by greeting your pup with some belly rubs or a good scratch behind the ears—whatever they love most. After a little morning bonding, we’ll head out for a refreshing walk at Fort Mason. I like to take quiet, scenic trails where we can avoid other dogs to keep things calm and enjoyable. If your dog enjoys off-leash time, we’ll visit the enclosed tennis court I have access to, where they can run around safely and play fetch to their heart’s content! After that, we head back home for some downtime, where your pup can relax and recharge. I always make sure they’re comfortable and well-fed, following your care routine closely. Whether they’re more active and love playing with toys or prefer a cozy spot to nap, I adapt to their needs. For dogs with special needs—whether they’re reactive, puppies, or seniors—I tailor the day to match their energy and comfort levels. Throughout the day, I make sure to keep them happy, engaged, and well-loved until it’s time for our next walk or adventure. My goal is to make every day feel like a mini-vacation for your pup, full of affection and attention!
