I'll run/play/cuddle with any dog!
Pet care experience
I don't personally have dogs but I grew up with them! I'm the kind of person who will get down and play with your dog. I'll jog with them, and when they're tired I will cuddle them if they enjoy that. I don't mind sloppy doggy kisses, and I'm a good bath giver/groomer (and my dogs hate baths). I think that we are so lucky to have dogs in our lives. They give us unconditional love and deserve to be well cared for. I want to provide exceptional care for your dog while making a few bucks.

We have a 3 month old puppy and this was our first time leaving him for days at a time. As new puppy owners, you can imagine how nervous we were being away from him… but luckily Emily put us right at ease. Over the course of a few days, we learned how kind, honest, trustworthy, and patient she was with our pup, Louie. She went above and beyond when it came to caring for him— giving him lots of love, attention, and always putting his needs first. We also had some last minute health concerns come up, and Emily was quick to accommodate this. Louie now has a new friend and we hope to use Emily again in the future when we go away!!! Thank you so much again Emily, we appreciate everything you did for our boy and your quick responses to our check-ins. Louie says thank you too! ???
My husband and I went on vacation for 10 days, which is the longest amount of time our two dogs have been away from both of us at the same time. We didn't want to kennel them for this long, so we scoured Rover for the perfect house sitter to stay and take care of our two dogs as well as our cat. That was Emily! We had no worries at all and Emily kept us updated with plenty of pictures. One of our dogs even developed an ear infection the day before we left and she had to give him an unusual schedule of pills. After we got home Emily had to stop back by to drop off the key and it was obvious that the boys were extremely excited to see her again. I would definitely hire Emily again in the future!
Emily is actually my sister, so I know her very well at this point in our lives! We grew up with and around dogs constantly and currently have three family dogs that live with our Mom. Emily visits home when she can... she enjoys seeing our mother (of course) but she loves being welcomed back by her three loving, slobbery, playful doggy “sisters”. Emily is always more than happy to play with them and give them every ounce of love possible. She really enjoys interacting with dogs of all shapes and sizes and is very responsible as she has watched our family dogs (including my additional pup) on several occasions. Emily would be a great sitter for your fur baby (or babies). I definitely reccomend giving her a chance to help you out!

Safety, trust & environment
I wake up, feed them. Go outside for a bit. Then just chill inside until lunch time. Feed them lunch, if they eat lunch. Take them out. Then chill inside until dinner time. Take them out and I take them out before bed!

Information Emily J. would like to know about your pet
I would really like to crate dogs when I leave. Please bring a crate, as I don't have any. Please let me know how they are with other dogs.
A typical day
After my yard is fenced in, I'll play with them unleashed in the back yard. Until then, there's a trail behind my house I can walk them on :)

I work full time and am supposed to go to the office twice a week. Typically, I go in on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. My days are lazy, so I would like dogs that are okay with that.
