Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I have two large dogs and a very spoiled (and admittedly stinky!) kitty of my own, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. We also make a trip to the dog park every day for an hour or two, so walks, playtime, and exercise are already built into my schedule. While I live in a townhome without a traditional backyard, I do have a fully fenced garage with AstroTurf that provides a safe, secure space for dogs to play, stretch their legs, and get some fresh air between walks. Every pet is different, so I tailor their care to what they’re comfortable with. I will never take your dog to the dog park without your permission. If you’d prefer they stay home, have private walks, or follow a specific exercise routine, I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and as close to their normal routine as possible while they’re in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions so I can keep their stay as familiar and stress-free as possible. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My home is a calm, pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax just like they would at home. I also have a secure, fenced garage with AstroTurf that provides a safe space for supervised play between walks. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I adjust my care to match their personality and your preferences. Whether your dog loves to play, prefers quiet naps, or needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Dog park visits are only offered with your permission. I’m just as happy to provide private walks and one-on-one playtime instead. I’ll also keep you updated throughout your pet’s stay with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My goal is for every pet to feel like they’re staying with family, not just a sitter.

Information Emily J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or needs and specific accommodations before booking so I can make sure your pet has what they need during their stay.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning potty break, breakfast (if that’s part of your pet’s routine), and some time to stretch their legs and settle in. Since I work from home, your dog will have company throughout the day with plenty of opportunities for play, cuddles, enrichment, and supervised potty breaks. I’m located just one mile from North Lakes Dog Park, so we often enjoy a nice walk there for exercise and fresh air. If your dog enjoys the dog park and you give permission, they’re welcome to join us! If not, I’m just as happy to stick to neighborhood walks and one-on-one playtime. Back at home, your pup can relax, nap, or play in my secure, fenced garage with AstroTurf, which provides a safe space for supervised outdoor time between walks. Throughout the day, I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, medications, and any special care they need. In the evening, we’ll enjoy another walk or play session before winding down for dinner, cuddles, and a cozy night’s sleep. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can see all the fun your pet is having while you’re away!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience. Throughout the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with animal shelters, rescues, and pet conventions, giving me experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a little shy, or just loves a good cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own, paying close attention to their routines, preferences, and well-being. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend, and I’m committed to providing reliable communication, plenty of updates, and compassionate care every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family!

Emi is an amazing caretaker, she took care of my sweet cat when I was out of town. She made sure their needs were met!

I can’t recommend her highly enough as a Rover pet sitter. She has a genuinely big heart for animals, and it shows in the way she cares for every pet she meets. She is responsible, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s keeping up with routines, giving plenty of affection, or paying close attention to the little details, she treats every pet as if it were her own. I trust her completely with my own pets and know they are in excellent hands. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, reliable, and truly passionate about animals, she is an amazing choice!
