Pet care experience

Skilled & compassionate pet care

I started taking care of dogs and cats since the age of 13. I have a boxer mix of my own, Mae, who is the love of my life. I have volunteered at various shelters in the Midwest and Northeast and have provided dog walking/cat sitting/overnight care for 20+ years. I am a professor during the school year, so summers are my prime times for pet care!

House Sitting • Jul 30, 2026

Emily was super easy to work with. Accommodated a changing schedule. She picked up on all the pups quirks. We were happy to feel like she was reliable and we had nothing to worry about.

Emily was super sweet to my dogs and they were tired when i got home. She got a reluctant dog to poop, even better

Emily is a very experienced and responsible dog owner, which makes her the perfect Rover pet walker/sitter. She can especially be trusted with "tempermental" dogs, who need calm, firm control.

Emily is a wonderfully responsible and loving caregiver for dogs. Her calm, attentive presence and natural connection with them are something special. She treats every dog as if it were her own, with patience, affection, and a deep sense of care. I’d trust her with any dog, any time.

I have experience with all kinds of dogs and cats with medical needs. If your dog has a history of aggression towards humans, I may not be the best fit for your pet.
