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!

I have experience watching dogs and cats for friends and family since I was 15 (also parakeets and even a chicken)!

I have also volunteered at animal shelters like Sean Casey Animal Rescue walking dogs.

Emily was fantastic! Cannot recommend her enough. She was very communicative, sent photos of my pup, left our apartment spotless and was just a pleasure to interact with. Will definitely be hiring her again!

Emily was excellent with our dog during a long 2 week house sit and she left the apartment exactly as she found it. She sent daily updates and was quick to respond to any messages. Will definitely be using Emily again!!

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.
