Safety, trust & environment

I always follow the client’s instructions closely to ensure each pet's safety and comfort. If the yard isn’t fenced, I use a leash at all times. I follow all local leash laws and practice proper leash etiquette during walks. I also encourage the use of a harness or no-slip lead for added control, safety, and comfort while walking. Additionally, I take weather conditions into account—avoiding walks when it’s too hot, too cold, or otherwise unsafe for your pet.

Information Emily & Gary F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs or behaviors that I need to take into account during my visit. My goal is to make my visit for your dog/cat enjoyable!

A typical day

I will personalize the visit based on the pet's needs for the day. I like to take time to engage the dog in activities that they enjoy. This can include walking, playing with a toy, or just hanging out and getting pets or belly rubs!

Emily's Paw-some Care for your pets

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Emily, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family since 2010! Whether it’s a playful puppy, a chill senior dog, or a curious kitty, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. From potty breaks and mealtime to walks and playtime, I make sure your furry family members feel loved and cared for while you're away. I’ve had the joy of working with pets of all ages and energy levels. I truly enjoy my visits with each pet and look forward to the opportunity to work with more. **Please note:** * While my husband is listed on the profile, he only assists occasionally when needed. You'll be working with me directly for your pet’s care. * I am fully insured for your peace of mind. * For safety reasons, I only walk dogs that are well-behaved and comfortable on a leash.

Emily was great with our two 3 month old puppies and took amazing photos of our pets during her visits. She was attentive to detail and used the same training and routine that I use during each of her visits for consistency. She even left a gift of treats for our pets including the two cats. Highly recommend her. Thank you, Emily for making my first Rover experience a positive one!

Emily was absolutely amazing with our dog this summer! Our schedule was completely crazy due to baseball, and Emily was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and always willing to adjust times or reschedule dates without hesitation. Most importantly, I felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in her care. We are so lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her enough!

Emily always takes such good care of our kitties when we’re away! She keeps us updated with any issues and sends pictures with every drop in. Highly recommend!

Thank Emily and Gary! You were both very kind to Jane (who can be standoff-ish) and took care of my plants too!
