Safety, trust & environment

I am very careful when entering your home as my dog is quite the escape artist herself. If you crate your dog, I am great at motivating them out and to get back in when time is up! I make sure nothing is left out for those counter surfers!

Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet

Open to all breeds of all sizes! I love all social and shy cats as well! I always try to get the shy ones to warm up to me after some time. I would just like to know if there is any issues/special needs your pup has beforehand!

A typical day

I typically take my pup on walks to the water! I am open to suggested routes and times as well! We have room to play fetch and I really enjoy teaching new tricks!

Pet care experience

I am an experienced dog mom of a 5 year old Australian Shepherd named Ellie. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life (total of 5 rescues) that I’ve loved and cared for. I have a 11 year old cat as well so I am very comfortable around both! I have dog walked for Wag! and Rover for 5 years now so you can be sure your pet is in good hands! I work from home during the day and have plenty of time to take your pet out as needed! I like long walks or playtime in the house! I have toys as well and grooming tools. I know all types of harnesses and collars and have been trained to put each of them on. If you have any preferences please don’t hesitate to ask me about them! Can’t wait to meet your pup/kitty!

I utilized Emily to take care of my cat. She did a wonderful job and if anyone ever needs a pet sitter I would highly recommend Emily. My cat almost immediately connected with her which tells me she is an animal person. She is very responsible, trustworthy, and timely.

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.
