About Emily R.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will respect any rules and routines of your household so that you and your pets will be as comfortable as possible. I am always careful when opening doors to prevent escapes and take any specific safety concerns for your individual pets into account.
Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet
I am uncomfortable walking very large dogs (90+ pounds) on a leash, because I am not strong enough to stop them from getting away if they got frightened or overexcited. However, I am happy to care for dogs of any size in a closed environment, like indoors or a fenced yard.
A typical day
I love to snuggle and pet calmer and older animals. For higher-energy dogs, I am happy to play tug-of-war and fetch, as well as supervise any outdoors time they require. On walks, whenever possible, I try to be considerate of the importance of a dog's ability to sniff and investigate their surroundings.

Dog Lover Providing Excellent Care
Pet care experience
Interacting with animals has always been the highlight of my day. I have a decade of professional experience with pet care, primarily dogs and cats, but small animals and exotics as well. I have a beloved senior dog and a giant day gecko at home, but I grew up around a large range of animals, including dogs, birds, lizards, frogs, rodents and sugar gliders. I also have a bachelor's degree in biology with a particular interest in animals and plants. As a result, I have the experience, knowledge and passion to provide the high-quality care you're looking for. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means that I am able to devote plenty of time and attention to your animals. I will keep in touch with you while your precious pets are under my care, so you won't have to worry about their safety and comfort. I am happy to provide detailed updates and photos of the time they spend with me. I would love an opportunity to work with your family!
Reviews


Emily makes days like this possible for me. I was on the run from 7:30’- 4:00 and needed drop in help so I didn’t have to run home. It takes a load off my shoulders to know Emily can step in!

Emily was awesome! She sent cute pictures and was very communicative. If there was anything she was unsure of she was not afraid to ask. I’m very pleased with my experience using Rover and I’m so glad I found Emily!



Emily is great, flexible and very good with animals. Highly recommend


Emily was lovely! Came the day before to learn the feeding and medications. Sent pictures as well as texts letting me know how the girls were doing. It was all such a comfort since it was the first time having someone care for them in my home.
