Pet care experience

Experienced, Reliable Pet Care 🤍

I’ve had animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I’m a dog mom to an English Bulldog and a Saint Bernard, and I also have years of experience caring for a senior German Shepherd mix, which gave me hands-on experience with senior care, mobility needs, medications, gentle handling, and different energy levels. I also have extensive puppy experience, both through Rover and from raising two of my own dogs from eight weeks old. I’m comfortable with puppy routines, frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and supervision young dogs need. Caring for animals is something that is genuinely meaningful to me. I want every pet I care for, whether my own or someone else’s, to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I treat the pets entrusted to me with the same attention and care I would want someone to give my own. I take safety and routines seriously. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, double, check doors, gates, and leashes, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and individual needs. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and detailed updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home the way I would want someone to care for mine. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, stick closely to routines, and always prioritize safety. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable while you’re away. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Our three, very discerning chihuahuas fell in love with Emily immediately. She was gentle,conscientious and thorough. We will have her sit again.

We left our fur babies with Emily over the holiday week/weekend, and as always, she was absolutely amazing! ❤️ Our dogs adore her, and it’s easy to see why. She goes above and beyond every single time, keeps us updated with great communication, and truly treats them like they’re her own. Knowing they’re in her care means we never have to worry or deal with that awful separation anxiety while we’re away. Emily is such a kind, caring, and wonderful person, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pets, she’s the one!!!

Emily was amazing with the girls during the meet and greet Lilo usually likes to scream and bark at people. She's just now meeting for at least an hour but the minute Emily walked in Lila was so friendly and so happy and didn't even bark. Emily has an amazing energy and took care of all three of our big dogs very well with great communication and amazing compassion to the dogs. Thank you so much and we will definitely be rebooking!

Emily was amazing and it brought me so much peace of mind while on a day trip to know my babies were in such good hands. My dogs felt comfortable with her during the drop-in visit and Emily was very generous with her time. I would absolutely book with her again!

Schedule

I maintain a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. My online college coursework allows me plenty of flexibility for pet care, including same-day and last-minute bookings when available. I also offer complimentary meet-and-greets for new clients. Outside of pet care, I’m currently studying Diagnostic Medical Sonography.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Emily can host up to 20 drop-ins per day
Before any booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any preferences they may have. I have a short questionnaire we can go over so I fully understand how to care for your pet the way you do. The more I know, the better I can keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.
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.
