Safety, trust & environment

Since I am a cat mom, I’m not entirely comfortable allowing other animals in my home. However, I am more than willing to go to clients’ homes to feed, walk, let outside, give medicine, cuddle, or play with pets.

Information Emily G. would like to know about your pet

I would greatly appreciate any personalized pet information, such as behavior patterns, vet information in case of emergencies, toy/treat preferences, energy level, grooming/exercise needs etc.

A typical day

I love to engage with pets in the activities of their preference whether that be playing fetch, going on walks, playing with sensory toys, or chasing a laser dot (as my cat and family dogs highly enjoy). As per pet parents permission, an occasional pup cup may also be in the picture.

Pet care experience

Growing up we’ve always had dogs of all ages, so I am skilled at caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I have also had experience taking care of neighbors’ dogs as well while they were away. Currently I am a cat mom, so not only am I capable of caring for cats, but I also have a deep understanding of the love, worry, and responsibility that pet owners experience. All of this being said, I can assure you that your pets will be in good hands when I am around!

Emily is great! She gave very detailed reviews of her visits and sent great pictures of my cat while I was away. Emily even fixed her automatic feeder, which was so appreciated! Would definitely recommend booking Emily.

Thank you Emily for walking Kota in the rain. She has fun no matter the weather so I appreciate you taking her outside.

Emily is so very sweet and kind with animals. She has given my dogs and cat such good care and attention when I’ve been out of town. They are always happy to see her.

Emily is an absolute gem when it comes to caring for pets! She's not only responsible but genuinely loves animals, and it shows in every interaction. I've had the pleasure of entrusting my pets to Emily's care multiple times, and I've never been disappointed! She is truly the best caregiver I have had.

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.
