Safety, trust & environment

I love play and exercise. Most dogs I’ve interacted with are play driven (or food driven) so I try to incorporate that into my interactions with them. I am comfortable crating dogs when necessary and at the discretion of my client. I’m great with following feeding and potty routines as I know they vary from home to home.

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

Please feel free to let me know about anything I should account for. If there are any special needs for your pup or if there’s any specific request, I will certainly do my best to accommodate.

A typical day

I love play as well as mental and physical stimulation! We’ll go for walks and enjoy all the smells as well as play safely, whether that be fetch or treat towels or tug.

Paws-itively Perfect Care!

Pet care experience

Hi! I have two dogs, a five-year-old Beagle/Cattledog Mix and a five-year-old Dutch Shepherd. Both of my dogs began training as puppies and have earned their AKC CGC title as well as their novice and intermediate trick dog titles, while actively working on their AKC agility and obedience titles. I absolutely love learning new things about my dogs and getting to test their strengths. Since I have higher energy working dogs, I’m more experienced with keeping dogs engaged mentally and physically however, I do enjoy getting to work with less energetic dogs at any age. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur-baby! For my house sitting clients, please note that my standard house sitting includes overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of companionship throughout the day. To maintain my schedule and care for all of my clients, pets should be comfortable being left alone for up to 4–5 hours at a time. If your pet requires near-constant supervision or cannot be left alone for more than an hour due to medical needs, anxiety, or age, please let me know before booking. I do offer a separate constant care service at a higher rate.

Emily is an absolute gem of a dog sitter!! I was out of town for 6 days traveling and my Timber girl had the time of her life while I was gone. Emily gave me updates in the morning and night with lots of pictures, videos, and a general layout of their day. You can really tell that she loves animals and treated my dog as her own. For a little added touch she even left a note for me to come back home to, how sweet!!

Emily provided such great care for our dogs. She went above and beyond and requests. She is very kind, a great communicator, and gave lots of pictures and updates. I would gladly work with Emily again and trust our dogs with her.

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.
