Availability

Right now my schedule is flexible, so I'd like to take advantage of that and use my free time for pet care! I am often available 8am-10am, 3pm-5pm, and anytime after 9pm (if needed)! My schedule changes weekly, and in between work hours I have my own pets that I tend to as well. I've often already fit the care of other peoples' pets (and foster animals) into my schedule, so I'm willing to work towards what's best for everyone involved.

Safety, trust & environment

While I don't currently accept clients' pets in my home, I have absolutely no problem commuting to your home to check in on your animal! I'm good with feedings, potty breaks, playtime, walking, and just a general checking in! I'm also comfortable giving medications if I'm clearly instructed.

Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet

I'm most familiar with working breeds, so I'd expect each client to let me know if their dog has any specific needs, especially for smaller/designer/rare breeds or senior dogs that I've had less experience with. I'm open to learning!

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to dog parks, playing fetch or working on learning commands. I'm open to expanding on all of that as well.

Pet care experience

Hi, I go by Milly! (Emily is my gov't name lol) and I've been amongst animals of all kinds my entire life; Pets, livestock, and even the occasional non-domesticated animal! I'm looking to mostly do Check-ins and Dog Walking services (pretty much anytime) as of right now through Rover. I currently own two Border Collie-mix dogs and one indoor cat. I grew up helping take care of our plethora of critters on and around farmland and in neighborhoods. Not only did I care for my own animals and learn their individual habits and needs, but I was also frequently hired to look after neighborhood pets of all sorts: Dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, reptiles/amphibians, and occasionally birds. I have also fostered many dogs and cats from shelters and have helped them find homes! I've worked with animals as small as mice and as large as horses and cattle, and obviously everything in between! I'd love to pet sit, do checkups, and dog walk in my free time, so that's why I'm here!

She was on time and played with Sophie. Dexter was not with us so there was just one baby.

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.
