Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Have been fostering puppies and caring for senior dogs. Very versatile in terms of what’s required. I just recently lost our senior dog due to old age, care is of utmost importance.

A typical day

We go to the beach regularly, hike trails and visit the farm where our horses live. If your dog is social and loves other dogs, let me know. If it’s more of an intimate situation, I can cater to that as well.

Pet care experience

Dogs and horses have been a huge part of my life. We live an active lifestyle and my animals come everywhere with me. I have a flexible career that I can take my guys with me, lots of socializing (with other dogs), hiking in the forest (across from my property) and an off leash dog beach within minutes. My current dog is very submissive and loves companionship. We just recently lost our older dog at 15 and she’s looking to have company to adventure with. We’ve been fostering puppies through endless pawsibilities and thoroughly enjoy the training aspect as well. We’ve successfully potty trained the last 3 fosters before finding them amazing homes.

My dog was so happy with Emily. He was relaxed, well fed and in a fun mood when I picked him up. All signs that he was in great hands. I highly recommend Emily.

Emily did a fantastic job of taking care of Tucker while we were on the mountains! Tucker wouldn't even want to leave when we picked him up. He seemed so happy and fulfilled after a mini-camp at Emily's home.

Emily was incredible with our dog, Potato. She knew exactly how to handle the drop-off with an anxious dog, and he was immediately at home with her and her lovely family. I can't recommend Emily enough!

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.
