Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to care for pets in any way needed, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or administering medications. I am comfortable providing care at my home or at the client’s home, and I am flexible to adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. For safety and trust, I always ensure the environment is secure, clean, and comfortable for the pets. The only exception is overnight stays at the client’s home.

Animal loving lady

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Emily, and I’m an optometry student looking to do some part time pet sitting through Rover. I’ve had pets my whole life, including cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, and even chickens, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my daily routine. I currently have a cat who I absolutely adore and love more than anything, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I have pet-sat numerous times and pride myself on being trustworthy, dependable, and attentive. I’m happy to adapt to the needs of any animal and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving extra playtime and attention, or simply making sure they feel loved, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a student, I’m responsible, organized, and reliable, and I would love the opportunity to help care for your pets!

Emily did a wonderful job boarding my dog for a long weekend. She was responsive, gave updates, and followed care instructions. My dog has a moderately high energy level and she was able to take him on two long walks a day to meet that. I'd happily book with Emily again in the future.
