I always make sure to lock doors behind me and carry a phone with me at all times for assistance if needed. Your pups are safe with me!

Information Emily M. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know what kinds of activities the dog likes and if he is friendly with other dogs or not, if they are leash aggressive, especially encountering dogs on walks or at the park, etc.

A typical day

I love being out in the Oregon nature so trips to parks and nature areas are perfect for long walks. I played softball so I've got a pretty good arm for some fetch!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I joined Rover in late 2016. I currently live in South Salem with my husband Alex and cat Monkey. I love to stay active so long walks with pups is perfection! I started out in Chicago as a live-in nanny so I have lots of experience house sitting and helping out other families. I am a reliable communicator and will always promptly respond to you, and will certainly let you know how your pup is doing! I have experience sitting for and walking multiple dogs at a time. Both my older sister's have large dogs, so holidays with them are always full doggy love with 5 dogs in the house. Would love to get to know your dog/cat and love them as if they were my own! Please note that my husband and I share a car so my availability can vary.

Emily did a great job with my cat which I had never left for that many days. She was quick to report in when she had been to the house, sent me pictures of the cat and included a little note about how she was doing. I would highly recommend 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.
