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 was wonderful and we heard from her every day. She left our house super tidy and our dof super happy. She even left us some homemade muffins!

Emily came and met with coal and I. She stayed with him for 4 nights. She sent pictures and updates. There was a little confusion about the times I normally walk him, but that was quickly remedied. She kept the house clean and gave coal lots of love for me. Would recommend and hope to have her stay with coal as needed in the future.
