Safety, trust & environment

Your pets' safety and comfort are my biggest concern. I'm very detail-oriented, and I am all about setting myself up to prevent problems in the future. Meet and greets prior to bookings are a priority for me. I value the opportunity to meet you and your pets to make sure that we are a great fit for each other.

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your pet's regular routine looks like so I can do my best to provide them with consistency while you're away. Also let me know of any quirks or special needs your pet has so I can keep them comfortable, happy, and safe. We'll go over everything at the meet and greet, but please don't feel shy about leaving written instructions or sending me messages with reminders. You know your pets best and I want all the information. All of the little details help me to give your pets the best care possible, and allow our time together to go smoothly!

A typical day

I understand that all pets have different preferences and our time together will look different for each individual. I'm willing and able to meet the needs of more active animals who need lots of play time and walks, but I also love just sitting and hanging out if that's preferred.

Pet care experience

I've been around animals for my whole life! I have often been asked to care for pets for friends and family, and I have experience with senior and special needs pets. I love spending time with cats and dogs of all sorts, and I look forward to meeting yours! I am comfortable with animals of varying energy levels and ages. I love cats and dogs alike and am willing to meet their needs.

Emily is terrific! We were gone for 2 weeks & felt so at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. She walked our younger pup every morning (despite the heat) because he has a lot of energy to burn, sent regular photos of the doggos snuggling, and left our house so clean. She also sent text updates, which really helped since we were 9 time zones apart. I can’t recommend Emily enough — she went above & beyond, and our dogs were so well cared for.

We set up a 30-min afternoon initial visit for Emily to come by and feed our 3 cats and bond a bit and she was great! Very communicative and got our very shy cat to come out and be a bit social - a major feat, which I think will only continue to improve with time! Will definitely book again. Thank you, Emily!

Emily was a fantastic dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of our anxious Chihuahua, making sure she felt safe and secure while we were away. The regular updates and photos she sent were great. On top of being fantastic with our pup, she took immaculate care of our house. We highly recommend Emily!

Emily did an incredible job looking after my cat and made sure he was given plenty of pets and cuddles during my multi day trip. She also sent cute pics of my happy cat during her check ins and communicated promptly.

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.
