Pet care experience

Organized Reliable Animal Lover!

I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Alaska raising ducks, chickens, rabbits…even a ferret! I’ve always had dogs and a cats. I currently live with a senior pup and a young cat. We have several backyard chickens too! I worked as a professional dog walker/pet sitter for a number of years in Connecticut. I’m used to being outside rain or shine. I also know the importance of being able to adapt to each pets’ individual needs including special diets or medication.

Emily took such good care of our cats. One of our kitties has special needs and Emily took them in stride. We’ll definitely reach out to her again!

So grateful to have found Emily! This was our first time using Rover and it was such a seamless stress free experience. Emily sent us many pictures and updates. Our kitties who are both hoarder rescues and extremely sensitive loved her. Thank you and will be using Emily whenever we travel now.

Emily was great with our guys Benny and Finn. Finn is very shy/scared as a rule, and Emily was very careful to meet him gently and kindly. Both dogs trusted her immediately. We will definitely ask Emily to look after our pups again!
