Updates incoming. https://thoracic-justice-29f.notion.site/emilyh-rover-portfolio Plz feel free to take a look! --- I'm Fear Free certified and trained to read animal body language, minimize stress, and create calm, positive experiences for every pet in my care. --- Hi! I’m Emily and I love cats!! For the past few years I’ve been the go-to cat sitters for my friends and neighbors whenever they’re away during summers. It’s been such a rewarding experience and I just would like to do that more often!! Now, I’m wrapping up my semester at Cal so I’ll have work extra time to spend.I can’t think of a better way to fill it than by doing what I love most - taking care of animals!!

Emily was great - deeply caring, and communicative with frequent updates and pictures. My cat was pampered with attention, pets and play. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Emily took amazing care of our cats on such short notice and didn't even bat an eye at our exorbitant feeding instructions haha... Thank you Emily!

Emily did a wonderful job with our cat JiJi. Emily let us know how JiJi was doing and sent us photos every day. Our cat had never spent a night outside of our house so we brought many of her things to Emily’s apartment including her scratching post. Emily helped us ferry everything inside and get JiJi settled. Emily was very responsive and we would highly recommend her.

The best sitter in the Bay! This was Benz’s second time staying with Emily, and I really think he enjoyed it and was very well taken care of.

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.
