Pet care experience

Experienced with all kinds of dogs!

I grew up with two dogs and two cats and helped take care of them for as long as I can remember. This includes helping train them as therapy dogs for retirement communities and taking care of my dogs when they got too old to eat without assistance. I picked up tips and tricks to manage even difficult dogs and I learned how to read a dog's body language very well. I am especially inclined toward elderly, special needs, and anxious dogs. I am comfortable administering medication except for shots (for example insulin). I am a huge animal lover and enjoy going for walks, so I figured I would combine these two passions! I have had cats, dogs, hamsters, and rats. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and am comfortable with everything except spiders. I worked at the Emergency Desk at the largest animal hospital in Boston, USA, so I am familiar with common problems pets can encounter and what the warning signs are. I love being able to meet the different personalities that each pet has. Your pet would be treated as my very own!

We had a very good experience with Emily. Our dog felt relaxed and comfortable with her, and everything went smoothly. Emily is friendly, calm, and took great care of our dog. We would happily recommend her and book with her again. 🐶😊

Emily took such fantastic care of Kesh while we were away! She is super friendly and responsible, and is a great communicator making sure we knew how Kesh was doing each time she visited. Highly recommend and look forward to future opportunities to care for him when we are away.

Emily is a wonderful dog sitter! She looked after my 2 dachshunds with so much care and fun. She has been updating during the day with pictures of the dogs reassuring they were in great hands. I highly recommend Emily!

Emily heeft bij ons thuis op onze hond Emma gepast, een Mechelse herder van 16 maanden. Is prima verlopen. Emily kwam keurig op tijd bij ons aan. Heeft uitleg van mij gekregen en heeft de hele dag op prima wijze op Emma gepast. Emily is zeer voorkomend en flexibel, dus wij zijn zeer tevreden over haar. Betrouwbaar, vriendelijke en goed!

Schedule

I tend to be a morning person. I work full time and must be in the office 4 days a week, so your pet must be ok with being alone for up to 8 hours.

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
over 45 kg
Emily can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I would like to know the general energy level and if there are any special circumstances, such as allergies. I love all breeds, but have a soft spot for elderly and anxious dogs. I do not house sit puppies (dogs under 1.5 years old), but I can do drop-ins or walks for puppies.
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.
