Highlights
Pet care experience
From City Plans to Pet Plans
I grew up in a house where there was always a dog, and they were never the same kind twice. At one point it was a tiny Chihuahua who thought she ran the place, then a Boykin Spaniel who needed to burn off energy every single day, and later big dogs like Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and a Newfoundland who had zero awareness of his size. Living with all of them taught me pretty quickly how much personality and energy levels matter. Some dogs wanted long walks and constant movement, others just wanted a quiet presence and a predictable routine. Over time, I learned that good care isn’t about just doing the basics, it’s about paying attention. I’m the person who remembers how your dog likes their leash put on, notices when they need a slower walk, and picks up on the small habits that make them feel comfortable. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I take routines seriously, because I know how much pets depend on them. I like keeping things calm, familiar, and low stress, especially when their people are away. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, and for you to feel confident knowing they’re with someone who pays attention and showing up for them.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. In your home, that means following your instructions closely, sticking to familiar feeding times, walk schedules, and any house rules you already have in place. I’m respectful of your space and make sure everything is left the way I found it. When pets are in my care, I keep things calm and structured. I pay attention to energy levels, adjust walks and play accordingly, and make sure pets have plenty of downtime if that’s what they need. I don’t rush routines and I give pets time to settle in and feel comfortable. Across both settings, I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m always happy to share updates so you know how things are going while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Emily is lovely and truly a doggie lover. She was super communicative and shared lots of photos of my babies whilst I was away Pleasure to have you Emily!
Emily was great with herbie! She sent pictures and updates and would love for her to watch him again
Emily is timely, kind and communicative! We will be booking with her again.
Emily was the BEST! She cared for our boy just like he was her own. She was so accommodating and flexible, and she truly made us feel so at ease on our trip. We will definitely be booking Emily again!
Emily was absolutely wonderful! She was very respectful, responsive and took amazing care of our 2 golden retrievers. She sent many pictures and checked in often. She went above and beyond to make sure our girls and apartment were well charged for. This was our first experience using Rover and she had set the bar very high! We will book with her again without hesitation!
Absolutely awesome! Great communication and was very understanding with my dog that has some unique quirks. I came back to an apartment that was as clean or better than I left it after Emily has watched Benji overnight for 6 days. 10/10 would recommend Emily!

Schedule
I'm a City Planner and I work remotely, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and spending real time with pets during the day. I’m also available on weekends as long as plans are communicated ahead of time. I keep an early schedule, up early and usually in bed around 10 pm, so early morning walks or feedings aren’t an issue for me. I like having a routine and planning ahead, so as long as expectations are clear, I’m happy to make pet care part of my schedule.
