I have a beautiful neighborhood and I like to take my bloodhound for walks to the park, I also have a large backyard that many dogs love to play chase and run around in.

Pets

I'm here to care for your babies!

Pet care experience

I've loved animals all my life, and have owned and cared for a variety of pets. I've been pet sitting since I was 12, and have always loved pets of all sizes. I was previously a manager at a dog daycare and now currently work as a dog groomer, and have learned to work with a variety of breeds and personalities. I personally own 3 cats and a very friendly bloodhound. I have a spacious, enclosed yard, but I also allow dogs indoors and on furniture, whatever makes the fur baby comfortable! I have kept dogs from different households at the same time and keep a seperate room for fur babies when necessary. I will make accommodations to make sure everyone's safe and comfortable, and provide pictures and updates on their stay. I currently work about 30 hours a week but will be spending time with fur babies otherwise. I have experience in distributing medication, I take care of pets of all kinds, and I can accommodate dogs that don't get along with my cats. Feel free to text me for any further questions!

Emily has been checking in on our cats for 4 years now and it’s such a peace of mind knowing they have someone very responsible taking care of them when we are gone. She’s very trustworthy and I highly recommend booking her!

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.
