Skilled Pet Care with Medical Edge

Hi there! I’m Emily—a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet caregiver, and Occupational Therapist with medical training from working in the ICU. I bring a unique blend of compassion, responsibility, and knowledge to every pet I care for. With years of experience in pet care, I understand dog behavior, nutrition, and basic training. I’m also trained in pet CPR and choking first aid. As a proud dog mom to an Australian Shepherd with medical needs, I’m confident managing medications, spotting subtle health changes, and providing extra TLC when it matters. I’m most available evenings and mainly weekends. Message me and we can work out a plan. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a calm and reliable sitter, or someone who’s comfortable with medical care—you can count on me to treat your pet like family. 🐾💙

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that fits your pet’s unique needs and routine. I always take time to understand your pet’s preferences, energy level, medical needs, and any special instructions you provide. In your home, I aim to maintain your pet’s familiar routine as closely as possible—this means consistent feeding times, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection. I also keep your space clean and secure, making sure your pet is happy and safe while you're away. With my medical background, experience with dogs who have special needs, and training in pet CPR and first aid, I’m confident in handling both routine and emergency situations with care and calm.

It was our first time using rover and we were nervous leaving our cats in the care of a stranger. Emily was fantastic and made sure to send photos which put us at ease. You can just tell she’s an animal person!

I've had the pleasure of knowing Emily H for the past three years, and during that time, she has proven to be an incredibly trustworthy and caring pet caregiver. We’ve both had the opportunity to look after each other’s dogs while on vacation, and I’ve always felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her hands. She has a six-year-old dog of her own who is well-loved and wonderfully behaved—a true reflection of her attentive and responsible nature. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just giving extra cuddles, she genuinely connects with animals and treats them like family. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and compassionate, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care.

Before caring for any pet, it’s super important for me to know their routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide the best care possible. I always like to ask about: Medical needs (medications, allergies, or conditions) Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions Behavioral traits (are they shy, reactive, high-energy, cuddly, etc.) How they do on walks or around other dogs/people Favorite toys, games, or calming techniques Any fears or triggers (like storms, loud noises, vacuums) Commands they know or training you’re working on Emergency contacts and vet info Knowing all of this ahead of time helps me tailor their care and keep their experience as stress-free and positive as possible—just like they’re at home with family!
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.
