Availability

I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.

Information Emily R. would like to know about your pet

One of the first things I ask is if your pet has any allergies, anxieties, or behavioral issues to note. Transparency helps ensure everyone's safety and comfort. The more information you can provide me, the better care I can provide. I'm happy to help administer medicines, help with transport, and offer flexibility for scheduling.

A typical day

A good walk is filled with stopping for all of the (not disgusting) smells! Between social play, appropriate toys, scavenger hunts, training, squirrel chasing, fetch, tug, puzzles, and naps in the sun- your pet will be so loved on and encouraged.

Showing up for you and yours

Pet care experience

Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice.

The best Rover experience! You can tell Emily loves animals so much and cares for them like her own. Thank you Emily for taking care of my two babies, they had a blast! Emily sent updates and photos/videos during their stay and it was so nice. I truly felt so worry-free and relaxed knowing they were so loved.

Emily is so kind and reliable! She always takes the best care of my cat when I’m out of town and I always know he’s in the best hands with her. She is very communicative and always spends so much time with him during her visits. Highly recommend her as always.
