I am my friends and family go to person for pet care. I have recently relocated to my hometown of Columbia, South Carolina and can’t wait to meet your pets! I have 8 years of experience caring for dogs, 5 years caring for rodents, and 20+ years caring for cats. Animals and social work are my passions in life! I also have experience with amputee dogs, senior cats and dogs, cats and dogs needing oral medications and special diets, cats and dogs who are highly anxious, and cats and dogs who are hyper activity and need a lot of care and attention.

Emily did a great job taking care of our babies and even helped clean up some ants that found their way to the cat food! We will definitely be rebooking in the future. Thanks so much!

Emily took great care of my two cats and was always friendly and communicative throughout the booking. She was able to pill and give an inhaler to my one cat that needs it. I was worried as this was my first time using Rover, but Emily proved there was nothing to worry about! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter! Thank you for caring for my fur babies while I was away, Emily!

Emily was great with our golden doodle and Great Dane! She updated us daily with many pictures and let us know how they ate and when they used the bathroom. We will definitely be using Emily again! Our dogs love her!!
