Safety, trust & environment

I am capable of caring for animals with all personalities. From very shy to extremely outgoing, I can form close bonds with all animals through individualized care and attention.

Information Emily K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is reactive/how they are around other dogs and humans. What type of personality does your pet have (shy, outgoing, etc.)? Does your dog pull? Is your dog prone to eating trash and other stuff off the street? Do they have any specific quirks or needs I can accommodate?

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks so they can sniff and explore the area (they have to check their messages)! I enjoy playing with cats and dogs, and cuddling them of course!

Passionate animal lover & advocate

Pet care experience

I have experience watching dogs and cats for friends and family since I was 15 (also parakeets and even a chicken)! I provided care to animals of all sizes when I worked at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary for 2 years as an animal caregiving intern. I have also volunteered at animal shelters like Sean Casey Animal Rescue walking dogs.

Emily was fantastic! She followed all instructions and even went above and beyond by bringing in some big packages that arrived and suggesting to turn on the a/c to make the room more comfortable for my pet. Couldn’t be happier.

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.
