Pet care experience
All my life, I have had pets (dogs, cats, and gerbils). My pet sitting journey began in high school and continued on through college. Even during the time that I was a full-time college student and part-time grocery store worker, I continued to graciously take on pet care duties for the 3 same families, such as daily dog walking, overnight stays, and daily check-ins. The pets I have the most experiencing caring for over several years are cats and dogs. The services I am comfortable to provide and well versed in are daily dog walking, daily check-ins, and overnight stays. I do have experience with providing oral medication and eye drops. I am happy to learn and become efficient in any other medication administration. I now am a young adult seeking more fulfilling work that aligns with my values of helping others and the community. Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine. I am extremely excited to begin working with animals again to bring more joy into my life while also helping support my fellow pet parents around Pittsburgh!
Reviews
Emily was wonderful with my cat Colby while I was away for four days. He is a very shy cat around strangers but she made sure he got his meds and was well taken care of. She was very attentive to his needs and sent detailed reports about his behavior along with great pictures!
As always, Emily loves on Sam so much and is such a tender, kind caretaker. We are so lucky to have her, and I know Sam has a new best buddy! Thanks again, Emily!
Emily was an amazing help to my old girl, Sam. She’s slower, so Emily’s lovingkindness was welcomed. We recommend with full speed, and I hope to use Emily again for Sam! Thanks Emily!

I will have yours and your pets best interest at heart when caring for them. I ensure that I will get to know your pet and treat them as my very own! My visits with your pet will never be brief! I like to take my time to get to know your pet(s) and bond with them to make them feel safe and comfortable around me. I would be more than happy to send text and photo updates to put your mind at ease while your pet is in my care. Just as I will love and care for your pet, I will treat your home the same. Any and all instructions will be followed to maintain the safety and security of your home when providing walks, daily check-ins an/or overnight stays!
Information Emily G. would like to know about your pet
I require to have an initial meet-and-greet with your cat and/or dog to make sure that they take to me, at least 2-3 days before I begin caring for them. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I may need to be more attentive to. That way, I can prepare myself better for our first meeting to introduce myself to your pet in the safest and comfortable way possible, as well as care for them during walks/check-ins as best as possible. If your pet has any certain toys or activities they enjoy most, let me know and I will make sure they get to play with this toy or perform this activity over anything else! To ensure your pet gets the proper play time/exercise, please let me know of their activity level as well. I never want to assume how your pet(s) will behave or react in any and all situations. I want to make our visits as safe and positive as possible!
A typical day
I love taking long walks on trails or around the park, or simply around the neighborhood! I would be more than happy to take your dog for a long walk to provide good exercise and stimulation, but only if given permission by you, the owner. If you feel comfortable, I would be more than happy to take your pup on a trail walk as well! If I am caring for a cat, let me know of his/her favorite toy(s), favorite spots in the house to cuddle, and favorite treats! I have one high energy cat, so, I know how to provide a good time! I also have one low energy, very gently kitty of my own, so I can also provide gentle down time and pets to make your feline feel comfortable, in a slow, and gentle way. During a check-in visit, I can provide 20-45 minutes to spend with your pet to cure any loneliness they may be feeling, whether it be your cat(s) and/or dog(s). Visits will include plenty of exercise, play time, pets, and downtime as well, as per the demeanor of your pet. My attention will be 100% on your furbaby! I will never visit for less than 20 minutes, this is a guarantee! Your pet(s) deserve valued time per visit! Whether I am visiting your pet for a daily walk or check-in, they are my number one priority!

Availability
I currently work part-time Monday-Friday. For Monday-Friday, my best availability for walks and check-ins are in the morning between 7am-12:30pm and in the evenings 6:30-8:30pm. Fridays, Saturday, and Sunday I have full availability for both walks and check ins. I do not have overnight stays publicized on Rover. However, if I become well acquainted with you and your pet(s), and feel comfortable to offer overnight stays, and vice versa, I will happily offer them!
