Pet care experience

A tired dog is a happy dog 🐶

Starting when I was only two years old, I became the neighborhood dog walker. Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, turtles, hamsters, rabbits, lizards, birds, and more. In 2020, I began my own cat rescue and to date have saved 40 stray/feral cats and kittens. I have experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, and am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid. My house is full of fur babies - I have a pit bull and three cats of my own. I know how stressful it can be to go away and leave them, and I hope to alleviate some of that stress! ❤️

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I feel very comfortable with all animals. My rescue work has taught me how to work well with terrified or aggressive animals, and I have a lot of patience. I feel comfortable crating dogs if that is requested, as well as walking very big or very strong dogs.

Emily is AWESOME! This was our first time using Rover. Emily took wonderful care of our senior pup. She listened and was very attentive with our concerns. She communicated above and beyond which eased our minds being away. Most of all, our Sakari loved her. We will absolutely work with her again!

You can immediately tell how much Emily genuinely cares about animals. She is so patient and calm with scared/fearful animals and has their best interests at heart. She has experience with dogs from ~10-100 pounds. She has worked with animals with dog aggression, food aggression, and even people aggression. Emily provides updates and photos while you are away; you will be glad you booked with her!
