They’re not pets, they’re family!

Pet care experience

Growing up, I had a white Maltese poodle as our family pet. I called him my brother and always assisted in taking care of him. That included baths, food, potty breaks, walks, and even helping him take medicine when he got old enough to needing it. Ever since I’ve left my home to live life on my own, I haven’t been fortunate enough to live somewhere that loves dogs as much as I do. So not only does dog sitting for you fill a void I have; you also get the assurance of tender loving care for your sweet fur-babies! I have my own cat, though, so I’m glad I’ve been able to share a little love. Will there ever be a time when your pup and I have company? My husband is as much of a dog lover as I am, so he may occasionally be with me when I come to take care of your pet! Additionally, I had a baby last year, so she could be tagging along as well! How will you know I'm a good fit? Please reach out for a 30-minute Meet and Greet! I would love to familiarize myself with you and your pup! Why are your rates so low? With this being the kickstart of my Rover business, I want to give everyone a chance to get to know me, try me out, and allow me to prove to you that I’m a great pet sitter. I know if I had a dog, I’d be putting a lot of trust in the person I ask to watch them. With that said, I wanted to offer lower rates in exchange for your willingness to try out our experience and provide a review if you are satisfied with my service! My rates factor in time, convenience, and the fees that Rover takes out of my earnings. Please note that I may add on an additional travel fee, depending on distance and how often I'll be driving to and from your home.

Emily took excellent care of our senior dogs and home while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates throughout the day. Both dogs are on medication and dietary restrictions and Emily followed all of the directions we left her. She made our doggies feel loved and comfortable. We will definitely use Emily in the future and would recommend her to anyone considering a pet sitter.

This was the first time I’ve ever used rover.com. In today’s day and age you don’t know who you can trust. After meeting Emily and her husband. I knew that I could trust them with my Dogs and house. Emily sent pics of my dogs, she went out of her way to make sure my dogs was loved and taken care off. Emily asked a lot of questions on about routine, feeding ect. I know my next call will be to Emily to watch my dogs !! Yours should to if you need a dog sitter.

Emily did such a great job with our pup. We were packing, going on vacation, and then moving all within a couple weeks and she made sure that our dog was well taken care of during our vacation so that his stress level wouldn’t be as high. Always sending updates and spent a lot of extra time with him outside. We came back to a happy and well taken care of dog. This is the 2nd time we used Emily and we will continue to do so!

Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet

What is your furry friend’s personality like? Does it take awhile for them to warm up? Or are they really friendly from the beginning? Does your pet have any allergies? What health concerns should I be worried about? I know your dog is like your baby, so I will treat my care for them as such!

A typical day

Nearby parks and paths will be where your dog and I both get our exercise! Amazing tummy rubs, teaching and practicing some tricks, and playing catch will be just some of the few things we do together. I know that love and affection can vary for all pets, so if they’re a cuddler, I’ll be giving them all the hugs! If not, then providing a couple treats and extra walks it is!

When can I dog walk? As a stay at home mom, I can walk your dog really any time! When can I do drop in visits? As a stay at home mom, I can drop in really any time! When can I house sit? I can house sit at any time throughout the week. Constant companionship with your pup is more likely on the weekends! As a stay at home mom, I may not be able to actually stay the night. We can discuss those details more in our Meet and Greet though! Unfortunately, where I currently live, I cannot have dogs stay in my own home. However, I am happy to utilize neighborhoods, parks, and local resources to make your pet’s experience supreme! I think exercise, social interaction, and discipline are important, so I am happy to incorporate that in every visit I have with them!
