Safety, trust & environment

Of course, I follow a pet’s normal routine and ensure I give them a lot of attention/playtime so they feel comfortable and cared for, as they would if their owner were there.

Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate knowing if there is a window of time in which I should drop by for drop-ins or walks, and for house-sitting, it is always a huge help if written instructions are provided.

A typical day

One example is if a dog is high-energy, I like to take them for longer walks, as it is good exercise for them and they also get a chance to burn off some of their energy so they don’t go stir-crazy while back at home.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Emily. I work in Cranbury Monday through Friday, and I live in Plainsboro. I am available for home stays, drop-ins, and walking in Monroe, Cranbury, Hightstown, Plainsboro, Monmouth Junction, and East Windsor. I love all animals and am comfortable walking both young and older dogs. Regarding the latter, I gained extensive experience sitting/caring for my parents' dog, who lived to be 17. The experience I had with her has made me a responsive and patient sitter. I am also comfortable with cats. I have been working with Rover since Fall 2018. If you have any questions at all for me, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

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.
