For house sitting; I will care for your pet just as they’re used to. Feeding times, potty breaks, walks, medication times, etc will remain normal. If they are crate trained, they will be crated when I am not present. If they are usually left in a certain area or room of the home when not present then they will go back to that area when I’m not present.

A typical day

I really enjoy mental stimulation games as they are the best way to mentally tire out a pet! Food puzzles, hide and seek games, scent games, etc. These are in addition to playing with toys, going on neighborhood and trail walks.

Pet care experience

Welcome! I appreciate you taking a look at my profile! Much like many of us, I have loved animals since I was young. I enjoy working dogs, training and gaining knowledge in animal behavior. I have worked in Animal Husbandry for 10 years in various occupations. I have gained my expertise from commercial boarding & daycares, cage free daycare & boarding, Animal rescue, Dog training and veterinary. I am continuously learning and gaining knowledge. I do have a full time job outside of house sitting. This will leave pets unattended for 9 hours. Starting Dec 2026, I will be hybrid 2 days out of the week. I am currently only servicing the Stone Oak & surrounding area as I have a personal dog & cat to check on. What sets me apart from the rest is my knowledge in shy, hard to handle, and energetic, high drive pets. I have experience with various breeds, temperaments, and behaviors. Typically no pet is too much for me to handle. Any guardian breeds, aloof, or shy pets that may have issues with new people will need to have multiple meet & greets. This can be discussed further at the first meet & greet. I am an honest person who will not sugar coat how your pet may have behaved during the house sitting. My experience in boarding & daycare has shown me that many pet parents are lied to about their pet's behavior, or are told a behavior was not a big deal. My observation of this has shown this is more harmful than good, and as a pet parent of a not for everyone breed I have made it my mission to ensure complete honesty. I appreciate you taking a look at my profile and reading about me. I look forward to any inquiries and hope I am chosen as your pet sitter!

Emily is amazing as always. Bubbles and Pancake love her. They hardly knew I was gone for 3 days.

Emily was everything we hoped for. This was our first occasion using Rover or having a stranger in our house while we were on vacation. I was very pleased with Emily, her care for our home and our pets exceeded expectations. Her daily communication left us feeling confident that our little ones and our house were protected and cared for. We will definitely call her again. Thanks Emily.

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.
