Highlights
Pet care experience
Local dog lover!
Hello! My name is Emily, and I would love to help care for your dog in any way needed. I am a registered dog foster at Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, and understand how important it is to find the best care possible for your dog. I have experience with reactive dogs, delivering medications to dogs, and dealing with dogs who have separation anxiety. I understand that your dog is a part of the family, and it can be challenging to leave them in the care of someone else. My goal is to treat your pet with the same level of love, care, and comfort that you do. I intend to ensure that you are at ease leaving your dog in my care, and always share pictures and updates with you throughout my time with them. I am able and willing to take care of dogs of any breed or size. If you are looking for an experienced caretaker for your pup, I would be happy to do so! Please note, I do have a cat at home. If your dog is not cat friendly, I am able to separate them entirely while your dog is with me!

Ratings and reviews
Emily was so sweet and Scooby seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly! She took him in for daycare with less than a day’s notice and sent me several pics during his stay. I would definitely rebook with her.

Emily did an outstanding job caring for my very anxious dog, providing her with the patience and reassurance she needed. Her reliability and clear communication throughout the entire process made everything so much easier for me. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and attentive dog sitter!

Emily took amazing care of our dog while we left town for a weekend. She sent lots of updates and gave our pup lots of snuggles and love. I felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her and will definitely use her again in the future.

Emily was the perfect sitter for our pup. She sent wonderful picture updates daily and you could tell he had such a great time upon pick up. She really catered to our pup and the things he likes and enjoys. Emily was an amazing sitter that we cannot wait to book with again :)
Emily did a great job with my dog Tyson! Friendly, responsive, updates throughout the weekend. Tyson arrived home happy healthy and well cared for. Highly recommend!

I am beyond happy with the Rover services provided by Emily! She went above and beyond to provide updates and pictures during our trip and could tell that Penny was very happy and well cared for! Thank you so much!

Schedule
I have a full time 9-5 job on M-F, but I work 100% remotely, so I am very flexible and able to walk and spend time with them throughout the day . I have plenty of free time on the weekend, and would love a dog to spend it with! When fostering dogs, I try to establish a routine that includes a long early morning and evening walk, and a few mid-afternoon potty breaks / play time. My personal schedule is very routine yet flexible, and I am happy to incorporate any dog into it!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious townhome and do have a cat. If your dog is not cat friendly, I typically place my cat in the guest room to separate them completely. This way they both have plenty of space to roam and play.

A typical day
Walks and runs are my favorite! When visiting my parents, I love to take my family dog on runs. I find that it helps get a lot of energy out, and also helps her be less reactive to other dogs because she is so focused and excited on running! I give exceptional belly rubs, and love a dog who enjoys snuggling on the couch after a long day.
