Highlights
Pet care experience
Trustworthy, experienced & punctual
I have three years of professional pet care experience, and I have an abundance of personal pet care experience. I grew up in a household full of animals (dogs, cats, bunnies, rodents, reptiles, horses, and goats), and I was taught how to care for these animals from a young age. During my adult life I have had the pleasure of taking care of my own dog, cat, and guinea pigs. The majority of my professional pet care experience is with dogs, but I am very comfortable and confident in my abilities to care for a multitude of different types of animals. Please do not hesitate to reach out and see if I am the right fit for you and your little loved ones.

Safety, trust & environment
In order to ensure your pets safety, I plan to thoroughly communicate with you before I am left responsible for your animal's care. I want to know exactly what you need from me to make sure your animal is safe. This communication could entail any behavioral concerns you have which may interfere with your pets safety, any other animals in the area to be aware of, specific techniques you use with your animal to deter them from stressors (an example with dogs would be kenneling or puppy push ups), any safety concerns in the environment (for example if you had a cat and a rodent which needed to be kept in separate parts of the home, or a hole in your fence) and anything else you might want to share with me. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Ratings and reviews
Emily is an incredible animal caretaker! My two dogs are perfect, of course, but also have a ton of energy & can be a bit reactive in certain scenarios. From the first meet & greet, Emily asked thoughtful questions about my girls & made me feel at ease with their knowledge of dogs. Since then, they have been great at communicating any concerns as well as offering in depth general updates about my ladies during their visits. Emily is reliable, intuitive, trustworthy & brings so much joy to my sweet girls. I am grateful to have someone I can’t count on to not only show up, but to truly care for my animals!
Emily was absolutely perfect! We could not have asked for a better first time experience with rover. Emily made sure to answer any of our questions prior to her stay and then made sure to send us updates throughout the week. We are so grateful for the care of our fur babies and will be sure to use Emily in the future!
Emily was an absolute dream. She very clearly understands dogs, knowing how to both set boundaries with them while also being loving and gentle. One of our dogs is "particular" and doesn't warm up to just anyone and she loves Emily. I felt completely comfortable with her staying in our home and watching our 2 diva dogs. Great communicator, compassionate, flexible, and very willing to be helpful. Will most certainly use her services again.
Attentive, helpful, couldn’t ask for a better sitter for the pups! Thank you so much, the boys would be happy to have you stay again!
I have observed Emily providing responsible and loving care for our many family dogs and cats throughout her life. Starting approximately 10 years ago, acquiring her own personal pets, Emily began 00% responsibility for all aspects of pet care for her pet cats, pet dogs, and pet guinea pigs. With regard to these personal pets she has complete responsibilty for their nutritional health as well as managing all veterinary care as needed. She is the cat's meow when it comes loving responsible pet care.
When I think of "friends who I would feel comfortable leaving my animals in the care of" my friend Emily comes to mind. I have asked her on numerous occasions to dog-watch for me when my dog was still young, and she has always been more than happy to oblige. Why? Because Emily doesn't treat animals as fuzzy toys, she treats them as individuals and understands the different personalities that come along with them. Every animal has its own needs and Emily is wise to this. Her enthusiasm radiates to the animals and makes them very happy to see and be with her. I would whole heartedly recommended her for her abilities in caring for animals.
