I am able to sit and cuddle with your family pets sit and chill talking to an empty room if they are skittish. I try to do what I can to get them comfortable with me. I will grab packages, water plants, mail etc if you need me too. I will verify all animals are safe and cared for before I leave.

Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet

Love all dogs. No particular dog is off limit. I will love on all pups. Gentle giants to the pup you hold in your hand all Is good for me.

A typical day

I love taking them to dog parks, call my cousin for some vet help, shes a vet. I will give them treats and play with them or just sit and give cuddles. Whatever is their need I'll do. Nothing is too big for me to do.

Pet care experience

We now have owned 4 rescued cats who found their furrever homes with us. Our first baby Holly came from the streets one declawed tossed out like trash in 2005 and juat recently past in May 2022. Our 2nd baby Jedi lost its momma at 5 weeks of age in 2017. In June 2022 we adopted Ahsoka and Cara Dune from Pawportunity. We haven't have dogs for quite a few years now however I have had dogs growing up and all my family have dogs. Although I would love to have dogs, our life does not allow for one to have one. Even when we make our house full again I'll continue to help you and your 4 legged furbabies out. I'll treat them like my own, because during the time I'm there with them I will love them like mine. Plus I'll probably end up taking some love (hair and sloppy dried kisses) home with me, one of the best parts. I love taking puppy places if allowed and spoiling them is of course a must. ***I'm mostly available M-F before 8am and after 5pm with some lunch tme visit sprinkled in. Sat and Sun and all Holidays I'm available at any time.

Emily always takes a good care of my girls and gives us updates throughout, so we can travel in peace. She is very considerate and goes the extra mile! We had packages outside our door and she brought them in!

Emily did an excellent job taking care of our 3 pets. Our pets are not used to having us gone for more than 8 hours and our elderly dog suffers from separation anxiety and as well as being unable to control his bowels. Neither cat is used to strangers and would rather hide. She was able to handle all these obstacles and work with our strange after hours feeding schedule. I would use Emily again without any reservations and recommend her for you. Thanks Emily for allowing us our first adult vacation !

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.
