I have experience with dogs, cats, and rodents! At home, I have two dogs, one of which is reactive/has anxiety. With my personal experiences in hand, I’ve been successful in sitting for other anxious dogs as well. Since I started on Rover, I’ve sat for dogs, cats, rats, and guinea pigs! Right now I’m looking for full-time positions, which will affect my availability in the future. I will update my schedule accordingly but for now future bookings are tentative!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks! There's a ton of nice trails close by -- great for sensory stimulation. I have plenty of experience with dog training techniques, cat-sitting, rodent care, etc.

Pet care experience

I've grown up with 3 small to medium-sized dogs, including one that has issues with reactivity and anxiety. I have helped to train her and learned a variety of techniques from dog trainers. I have experience dog-sitting for friends and family, walking dogs through nature trails and neighborhoods, and taking care of puppies!

Emily was fantastic with our two kitties while we were out of town! She did everything we asked of her to make sure they were fed and happy. Would highly recommend her services!

Emily stayed at our home and took care of our golden retriever for a week. She was wonderful! Took great care of our dog, was a great communicator and sent lots of photos, and when our plane back got delayed she was super flexible and stayed an extra day. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house!

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.
