Pet care experience

Energetic dog and cat lover!

Hello, fellow pet lovers! Since 2013, I’ve been immersed in the world of dog rescue, learning the nuances of canine care with every wagging tail. My experience extends beyond walks and playtime; I’ve become a seasoned house sitter, ensuring that both your furry friends and your cherished home receive the utmost attention and care while you’re away. Rescuing my own dog from the streets of downtown Los Angeles was a life-changing experience that taught me the power of patience and routine. Although I currently don’t have a dog of my own, this allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pets and home, ensuring they feel loved and secure in your absence. My flexible schedule caters to last-minute requests and extended stays. I’m here to provide more than just a walk around the block. I offer a commitment to your dog’s happiness and your home’s safety, ensuring every detail is tended to with precision and affection.

Emily is excellent! This was my first time using Rover and she was sweet, compassionate and provided multiple daily updates to calm my nerves. Will be boarding with her again. Thank you Emily!

Emily has quickly become our #1 dog sitter whenever we're planning to be out of town! She always sends daily updates, is very easy to communicate with, and best of all, she takes incredible care of our pup so we can be worry-free on while away. We highly recommend her!

Emily is amazing! We came home from a long trip to a very happy pup and well kept home. She sent photos throughout our time away and we would highly recommend her to anyone!

Emily was absolutely amazing! From the moment we connected, I could tell she genuinely cared, and that showed in every update she sent while we were away. She treated our pups like they were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also took incredible care of our home and was just an all-around joy to work with. Emily is one of those people you immediately trust, and it’s clear she truly loves what she does. I’m not being dramatic when I say this was the best Rover experience we’ve ever had. We would happily book Emily again in a heartbeat.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the pet parent’s lead. Whether they prefer their furry friend to stay in a designated area or have free rein of the house, I respect their wishes. I’ll ensure that their pet’s routine is maintained, from their favorite nap spots to their regular feeding schedule. It’s all about providing a seamless experience for the pets, so they remain content and stress-free in their familiar environment.

A typical day

As a dedicated pet caretaker, I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine for their well-being and happiness. That’s why I seamlessly integrate their established routines into my daily schedule, ensuring they feel right at home with me. In the warm Texas climate, I’m mindful of keeping our outdoor activities safe and comfortable. I limit our time outside to 10-15 minutes during the hotter parts of the day to prevent overheating. Rest assured, I’ll keep your pets nice and cool with plenty of water, shade, and indoor playtime.

When caring for pets, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of their needs and any specific requirements they may have. Here’s what I find important to know about pets ahead of time: * Health and Medical History: Any past or current medical conditions, allergies, medications, and vaccination status. * Behavioral Traits: How they interact with other animals and people, any signs of anxiety or aggression, and their response to being left alone. * Dietary Restrictions: Specific feeding schedule, preferred food, treats they can have, and any foods to avoid. * Exercise Needs: Their usual exercise routine, any limitations, and favorite activities. * Comfort Preferences: Where they like to sleep, any special toys or comfort items they need, and their routine at home. * Emergency Contacts: Veterinarian information and an emergency contact person. Knowing these details ensures I can provide the best possible care and create a safe, comfortable environment for the pets I watch. It also helps me to maintain their routine and cater to their individual needs, making their time with me enjoyable and stress-free.
