Experienced Working Sitter
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Emily, I’m 22 years old and I'm an experienced pet sitter with a passion for providing accessible and high-quality care for all types of animals. I specialize in caring for both dogs and cats, but I also have experience with small animals and reptiles. As a pet care provider, I'm committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the pets in my care. I'm also experienced in administering non-injectable medication and watching for symptoms of overheating or freezing paw pads. I understand that every pet has unique needs and behaviors, and I'm dedicated to providing personalized care that meets those needs. I'm particularly skilled in working with reactive dogs and can maintain a calm and collected presence around them. I require at least one meet-and-greet with new clients and their pets to ensure that we're a good fit. I'm available to work with repeat clients on short notice, but I prefer that bookings are made as far in advance as possible. If you're looking for a pet sitter who will treat your furry (or scaly) friends with the care and attention they deserve, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Reviews
Emily was a life saver as our original sitter on Rover canceled three days before our trip. Emily came over to meet us the day we contacted her, even though it was last minute we were able to get everything set up that same day. She took great care of our dog and two cats as well as left the house in great condition. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking. She sent us pictures and messages throughout the week to let us know how our each one was doing.
Emily took wonderful care of our 3 dogs. She sent frequent pictures and kept us up to date on the activities of our dogs.
Emily did a great job taking care of our 3 dogs including our geriatric senior dog. All of the dogs seemed very comfortable the whole week with Emily.
Always great with my girls!!

Any information you provide to me will be followed down to a T, and I am not afraid to ask questions regarding anything your dog or home may require. I very much appreciate a copy of care instructions, whether it be over text or a sheet of paper. Everything will be cleaned up prior to my leaving, including bedsheets, dishes, etc. Your home should be exactly as you left it!
Information Emily P. would like to know about your pet
I would just like to be prepared for the type of pup they are. Do they pull on leash? Picky eaters? Are they friendly around other dogs or people? Please let me know anything and everything about your pup!
A typical day
Walks outside with ample sniffing time, playtime as needed, snuggle time, and any special requests will be accommodated, such as flirt poles, hide and seek, stuff like that! :)

Availability
Adequate pet care is my biggest priority, so my lifestyle will be curated to your dogs needs. I do work third shift from 10:30pm to 6:30am. If I’m asleep, my door is always left open in case your pet may need something, and if I’m awake they’re either getting snuggles or playtime. Your dog will always be let out or walked immediately before and after I return from work, and checked on as needed if I’m asleep during the day.
