I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received from Emily! Throughout the entire stay, I was kept updated with regular messages, beautiful photos, and detailed status reports, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was not only well cared for but also genuinely loved and treated like family. I highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and professional. I will definitely book again!

Emily was amazing! She took care of our cat (Fin) last minute and sent updates the entire time that we were on vacation. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough for the care that Emily gave to our Ezra. This was his first time away from home and I was a bit worried. But Emily put my mind at ease right away. I had complete confidence that he was safe and happy and even having his very own vacation. Home routine must seem a bit boring to him now! I guess we’ll just have to take another vacation so he can come back for more. We would very highly recommend Emily and will certainly choose her again. Love all of the updates and pix she took time to do! 🐶❤️Five stars ⭐️ all the way❣️

Safety, trust & environment

We own our home, with a large, fully fenced back yard. We do have two mini goats who share our back yard. We have three helpful older kiddos 11-16 who enjoy having furry friends visit. I put a Tractive GPS tracker on each dog in our care for added protection and safety. This is not a corrective tool, it only keeps track of location.

Pets

A typical day

We typically begin our day at 6:45am with a walk . My two dogs like to come back to eat and nap. A bit later they have a potty break and enjoy playtime in the yard. We take walks in our woods out back, as weather and company permits.

Please let me know ahead of time if your pets have any special needs. • Dogs must have low prey drive and be able to get along with goats and the resident cat. • No female dogs in heat, due to come into heat or just finishing a heat cycle. • Unneutered adult dogs will be considered on a case-by-case basis after a successful meet-and-greet. • Dogs should be comfortable in a crate during mealtimes, rest time, and in case of an emergency. • Trustworthy dogs will be free to roam in the home and will be part of the family as much as possible. • We cannot accommodate dogs with moderate to severe separation anxiety or noise anxieties (e.g., thunder or fireworks). • We have a 4’ chain link fence. If your dog is an escape artist, please find a sitter with a fence or system that is more suitable for your dog. • If a dog becomes anxiously destructive, the owner will need to pick them up immediately. I am upfront about my setup and limitations to ensure the best experience for both the dogs and their owners!
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.
