Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately I cannot host animals in my own home. But in clients homes I am respectful and courteous of space and diligent about maintaining safety for your animals. If you provide linens and towels, I wash all of them before your return.

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with all breeds and personalities. I’ve worked with Pitt mixes in the past, plus mixed dog/cat households. Puppies and elders, I’ve seen them all. No dog is too daunting, but it’s important to know if any behavioral issues ahead of time

A typical day

After breakfast we would chill inside or explore the neighborhood, depending on the pups personality and interest. The afternoon could be spent reinforcing training, grooming, or whatever else!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dependable animal sitter since I was very young, usually for parents co workers and friends. During my summers in graduate school I basically never lived in my own apartment, I spent every week with a furry friend. I have experience in administering medication, dog walking, some grooming, and reinforcing training

Emily was so wonderful watching my dog and cat for a long weekend! She was very communicative and went above and beyond caring for my pets and the house. I would highly recommend Emily for any of your pet care needs! :)

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.
