Pet care experience
I was the kid constantly volunteering to take our class pets home - from salamanders and toads to silk worms and ducklings. Then I grew up, and I sat for the pets of family, friends, and coworkers. Now, I’m joining Rover because dogs are compassionate, intelligent, and full of energy—I want to nurture these attributes in other people's fur babies as much as I do in my own. Every animal deserves to be shown love, especially when their number-one humans can't be around. My roommates are a 1.5 year old rescue dog named June, an 8 year old puppy mill rescue named Lucy, and a 6 year old cat named Blaze. We live in the Athmar Park neighborhood and love going for walks, playing in the backyard, and cuddling on the couch. I try to meet your dog outside the home so they can greet me on their terms and not somewhere they have the potential to feel territorial. My general demeanor is pleasant, neutral, and accepting so the dog can guide the interaction. I let them sniff me and sense who they're dealing with. In general, my principle is to be confident yet gentle, and follow the dog's lead. If you choose me as your sitter, I will offer you excellent customer service in the form of consistent communication, personal interaction (i.e., sending photos, videos, daily updates, etc.), and lots and lots of love. Ultimately, I just want to share my love with your dog and give them the best care possible. I hope to hear from you soon!
Reviews
Emily did a fantastic job taking care of our two little monsters. She was responsive to my anxiety with leaving them and was great about sending pictures and updates. When we got home both dogs were happy, healthy and thoroughly enjoyed their time hanging out with Emily while we were out of town. I hope to have her come and stay with them again.
Emily is lovely. Took perfect care of our 100 lbs. German Shepherd and 20 year old 5lbs cat. Emily stayed at our house for a week, managing cleaning people, landscapers, deliveries, watering pots, and constantly snapping photos of our pets! Highly recommend Emily - and I'm very particular.
Emily is great! I was a bit worried about finding a sitter randomly online, but the reviews I read about Emily's care were spot-on. I'm a nervous mom, but Emily took great care of her, kept in touch while I was gone and I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. She's professional and caring and I'll certainly want to book her again. Thank you, Emily!
Emily took excellent care of Nelson for a long weekend. She was super responsive and clearly experienced with cats. She sent lots of photos and played with him every time she was over, it was awesome to know he was in good hands. Definitely going to call her the next time I'm away!

Home
Information Emily H. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know as much as possible about your dog before we meet. Do they have any quirks or triggers? What can I do to make them happy? How is their health? Do they enjoy exercise? The more I know, the better I can treat them just like you do.
A typical day
I live right by a local park and love to take my own dog on walks there! We also enjoy visiting dog parks to play with our friends. If your dog has specific parks/routes they enjoy, let me know and we will visit those. My goal is to stick close to their routine so they feel comfortable.
