SAHM Needs Dogs to Play With!!

I'm Emily, and I am stay at home mom to two kids under 3. *I only take one client at a time—that’s why rates are higher. Full attention on your fur family ONLY* We miss having our own dogs, and we'd like to have a dog or cat in the house to care for, play with, and love on!! *I will only be able to take in dogs that have experience with and are comfortable with children* My husband and I are animal lovers and have been caring for dogs (and a variety of other creatures) for over a decade. We took a break from watching other people's animals once we got our own, but sadly, we no longer have any of our own pets. Over the years we've cared for a variety of animals from dogs to giant tortoises, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, and other reptiles! I do my best to be flexible and accommodating, so ask me anything! We'll do what it takes to keep your pet happy and healthy, and have experience with high maintenance dogs who may suffer from anxiety. I value attention to detail and will always follow your directions to the “T”. I can ensure your dog (or other pet) is properly cared for with all of our hearts. I love the experience of getting to know your pet over the course of a few days, and it is ALWAYS hard to say goodbye. We have had exclusively positive experiences with dogs throughout our lives, and we're excited to make more memories with yours. Thanks for trusting us with your best friend!

Emily did a great job. She was helpful and attentive and very communicative. She left our house in perfect condition and Moon happy and relaxed.

Emily was so attentive and sweet to my dog, Macy! She checked in often and put my mind at ease that Macy was being looked after well while I was out of town. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Emily did a great job taking care of our little dog for two weeks, as well as taking care of our home. Her communication was professional, consistent, and caring. This was far better than the result of dropping him at dog-sitting for two weeks.

Emily was so great with our pup. She stayed at our house for the week & was great at keeping in touch & sending picture updates. She left our home in perfect condition when we returned & our dog already misses her!

Emily was excellent! I can not recommend her highly enough. She cared for Ricky as if he were her own. She helped him through his terror of July 4th fireworks with patience, ingenuity and sensitivity. She sent regular updates and photos and treated our home with total respect and care. Ricky was happy to see us return home, but it was clear he hadn’t suffered in our absence. He was calm and happy and I know if he could talk he’d happily endorse this five star review!

Emily was great! She took wonderful care of Charlie, followed all the instructions left for her, and was in good communication with me while we were away. Emily even sent pictures of Charlie. I would definitely book Emily again :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and can let your dog run around as much as me or throw a ball. Dogs are also allowed on the couch so if they're more of a cuddle bug, they will fit in great too. I also have a dog bed ready to use.

Here is what I'd like to know about your dog(s) before housesitting in your home: 1) What is your regular schedule like? (Food, Potty, Walks, Medications, etc) 2) What is your pet's temperament? (shy, excitable, will jump on you, scared easily, barks at other dogs, etc) This is just so I know what to expect! 3) What are the rules? (OK on furniture, or not? etc) 4) What commands should we practice? (Sit, stay, shake, etc) 5) What kinds of treats are okay, and how much? (Apples? Blueberries? No human food?) And anything else you think I should know!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
