Safety, trust & environment

I want to make your pets feel cared for and happy while you are away. If possible, I like to do meet and greets before taking care of your pet. I will take notes or ask that you leave me detailed care instructions. While in your home, I will make sure to be tidy and wash dishes, recycle cans, etc.

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

Their interests and likes; things that they dislike and are scared of; strategies that work to make them feel comfortable and at ease with me.

A typical day

My goal is to make your pets feel relaxed and loved. Besides basic care, I will spend time with them, doing things they like such as playing with their favorite toy or giving belly rubs. I will send photos and a description of the visit/walk.

Pets

Reliable and Attentive Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have had pets my entire life, and can’t imagine life without them! I volunteered at an animal shelter for 3 years to assist with Cat Care. While I have the most experience with cats and have 3 of my own, I love dogs very much, too! I have taken care of both cats and dogs through Rover, and I will treat your pet as if it is my own. Being a pet sitter on Rover is something I do because I love animals! I limit the amount of bookings I have at one time so my focus and energy can be spent on the pets in my care.

Emily is consistently professional, kind, attentive. I always know my cats are in excellent care with her. If six stars were possible, I’d give seven!

Emily is the BEST! This was our second time booking with her, and she was great with our dog both times. We couldn't recommend her enough ♥️

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.
