Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I am respectful of your home, follow all care instructions carefully, and remain attentive during every visit. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas during walks, and closely monitor pets for signs of stress or discomfort. I aim to create a calm, positive, and trustworthy experience for both pets and owners. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, and a sitter who treats your pet as if they were my own.

Reliable Care From a Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and companionship. I grew up with dogs and cats and have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I pride myself on being responsible, reliable, and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I take the time to adjust my care to what works best for them. What sets me apart is my consistency and attention to detail. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I make sure instructions are followed closely, from feeding schedules to medication reminders and preferred walking routes. I also communicate clearly and provide updates so you always feel informed and confident that your pet is in good hands.

Our dog absolutely lights up when Emily arrives and we always feel at ease knowing he is in her loving, capable hands. Emily is very reliable, kind, and truly cares about our dog's happiness and well-being. Emily's communication is excellent, and it’s clear that she enjoys spending time with our pet. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Emily is my go-to cat sitter because she is reliable, communicative, and most importantly takes care of my cat, Willard, like he is her own! I never have to worry about the care that Willard is getting while I am away because I trust Emily wholeheartedly and that peace of mind is invaluable to me. And I know Willard loves her too :) I would highly recommend using Emily for all your pet-sitting needs!

Emily took care of my two cats and one dog while I was away for a long weekend and she made me feel so at ease the entire weekend! She sent pictures of my pets and made sure to update me every day with how they were doing! It made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing our animals were being treated with so much love and care. I definitely recommend Emily! She will love your pets like they are her own.

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.
