Pet care experience
Overnight Care In Your Home
Imagine stepping away for days or weeks while your pet stays in their comfortable home with the same walks and feeding times. When you return, the transition is seamless. . Hi, I’m Emily. My primary service is overnight care, so pets can remain relaxed in their own environment while their owners travel. I work online, which gives me time and location freedom to consistently be of service day or night. . No spare bedroom? No problem. I can park my small camper van in your driveway. I am fully self-contained, yet available to be a steady companion for a lonely, elderly, or mischievous pet. I am also able to sleep in your home. Whatever arrangement keeps your pet most comfortable. . I will happily - maintain walking and feeding times - cuddle and play while sending daily updates - pick up mail, water plants, take out trash, etc. - return your home as clean or cleaner than I arrived . More about me I’m a calm, grounded Capricorn from Alaska. There, I shadowed my mother, who professionally shows and breeds Pembroke Welsh Corgis to the highest standards. She taught me a great deal about attentive care and nutrition. . My knowledge of animal nutrition expanded through my work with 5Strands, an intolerance testing company. There, I learned how pet food is produced and how common fillers, particularly grain, can contribute to inflammation. Many chronic issues, such as obsessive paw licking, hair loss, digestive upset, and skin lesions, can often be traced back to diet. Through my work, I saw numerous cases where identifying intolerances through hair testing and adjusting a pet’s diet significantly improved their quality of life, eliminating repeated vet visits and steroid treatments. I felt immense purpose and joy through that experience, and so I maintain a discount code with 5Strands (RELIEF) and am happy to help owners interpret results. . After ten years as a Massage Therapist, I retired my practice in Capitola to focus on my health back in Alaska, where I found myself helping friends and family with overnight pet care. Before long, those stays turned into referrals beyond my immediate circle. Although I am new to Rover, caring for animals in their own homes is something I have been doing for years. . If you think your pet might enjoy my company, I would be happy to connect, answer questions, or arrange a meet and greet.

Safety, trust & environment

Ratings and reviews
As usual, Emily watching our pups gives me great peace while away. She’s a gem and so glad to have found her!


If you need a reliable, professional, and caring pet sitter, I cannot recommend Emily enough. She recently took care of our two dogs and was phenomenal! She kept us thoroughly updated the entire time and also left our home immaculate. Our dogs are our babies, and seeing how happy, content, and relaxed they were after spending time with Emily proved she treated them like her own. 10/10 experience!


Emily was amazing! Super communicative, helpful, took great care of our home and dog! Highly recommend!!

Emily was easy to work with, took great care of our two dogs, and left the house cleaner than she found it (she even folded some our laundry!) We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Her communication was great and she seemed very comfortable with our pups.


We had such an a great experience with Emily! She took amazing care of both our dogs and our home. From the moment she arrived, she bonded with our dogs so quickly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She followed their routine exactly and kept everything running smoothly while we were away. On top of that, she was incredibly clean and respectful of our space. She went above and beyond. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter.


Emily is a great dog sitter! We had her watch our dog for 10 days while we were out of town and she did an amazing job. Very sweet and caring. We had never left our dog with anyone other than friends or family before. She listened to all our requests and she was so sweet and made us feel very at ease. She sent us updates every day with pictures which was so sweet and helped us know that our dog was in good hands and having a great time. Our house also looked great when we got home. So clean. Could not be happier with her. Would definitely recommend.

Schedule
I work remotely in a way that gives me both time and location flexibility, which allows me to be consistently present throughout the day. What would otherwise be quiet independent work becomes shared companionship.
