Information Emily P. would like to know about your pet

Any quirks? What makes them special?! Do they have a favorite toy, favorite treat, favorite spot to sleep? Do you use certain terms to get them to go to the bathroom (sounds funny but it’s a thing!) or do they need any special attention? The more info, the better :)

A typical day

So many options! Anything from snuggles to walks to making sure they get their outside playtime and fresh air in throughout the day, I’ve got it covered!

Pet care experience

Updated for 2026 :) I’m about 3+ years into this Rover journey and truly enjoy it for so many reasons. We always had a dog growing up and I had two labs and two cats in my adult life who have sense “gone to heaven”. Now in an apartment and not able to have pets, sitting has become extra special for me, giving me that dose of animal love that I’ve been missing :) I also work remote, which ensures your pets have a little extra TLC <3 As far as experience - I’ve been around and love puppies but also know the attention and care that older pets need. They are honestly some of my favorites. Having met and worked with lots of sitters for my own pets in the past, I know the importance of finding someone you can trust not only with your pets but also in your home. From giving medicine, to walks and playtime, rolling in the grass and picking up poop, it all comes with the territory that I’m already so familiar and comfortable with. Because I work remotely, meeting your pets needs and sticking to their schedule should be no problem at all! I’d love the chance to meet and care for the animals in your family!

Emily did an amazing job watching our dogs!! She stayed at our home while we went out of town and dealt with our 1 year old golden retriever, 6 year old golden retriever, and my parents 16 year old mix breed. She took amazing care of all 3 dogs even though they didn’t make it easy on her at times. She kept our house clean as well which was a huge bonus. Emily kept us updated throughout our trip with updates and lots of cute photos. We truly appreciate her caring for our fur babies and can’t wait to use her again in the future. It’s so important to find someone you trust who cares about your pets as much as you do, Emily is definitely that person. You won’t regret hiring her to watch your pets!

Emily took great care of Yucca while I was away. She sent pictures and communicated with me daily. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets

Emily was amazing with my 3 dogs… my youngest dog had to have minor surgery the night before we left and Emily was so great about rolling with things and giving her her meds and loving up on her since i couldnt be there. My dogs were calm and happy when I got back so I know they were loved and well cared for for!
