Pet care experience

Hey fellow animal lovers! My name is Emily and I have been caring for dogs and cats (bunnies and critters, too!) since I can remember. Friends, family, and Rover clients trust me to keep their pets safe while helping maintain their normal lifestyles when they are either busy, need a regular drop in, or a house stay for your vacations. Animals are very important to me and caring for them is one of my favorite things to do. I have 3 pets of my own. One of them is my dog, Beverz, who loves to tag along if your dog needs a playmate. He is extremely friendly and always meets animals where they’re at. If they’re shy and feeling defensive, he backs off. If they want to play, he plays forever and ends up making a friend. My happy place is caring for animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pet family :) I follow the directions. I always follow exactly what I am directed to do while in someone else’s home. I make sure your pet is safe, maintain their routine, make sure they’re in a good mood, and healthy while you are away. Check out the gallery of photos I have taken of my adorable clients over the years!

Emily was absolutely fantastic watching our pets while we were away on vacation! She was very attentive and caring. She sent lots of updates and photos which we really appreciated! Both our pets loved her and would welcome her back anytime. :)

We were very happy with the care Emily provided to our two cats and dog in our home. She was communicative, respectful, and very sweet. We loved the updates and pictures she sent each day. She was considerate not just of our animals, but also our home. It put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry. We'd definitely recommend Emily for home stays with animals in the future.

We had Emily stay at our house and take care of our pups, starting our communication was amazing as well as updating and sending photos of our pups. The first night all the lights were left on and the dogs were locked out of the bedroom, after I specifically told her that they need to sleep with someone to make them comfortable. They paced the house all night and didn’t sleep, they were whining and clearly upset. Emily was unable to care for our pups the remainder of the time, which we were very understanding about as stuff does happen, because of this our dogs were left alone for close to 8 hours, and our pups had a few accidents. We were very hopeful leaving for our trip that they were in good hands and that quickly changed as we had to find different care for them quickly while in a different state, stressed and very upset.

I always follow the rules while I’m in someone else’s home. I like to make sure your pet maintains his or her schedule while you are away. I play a lot and snuggle even more. I recently lost my dog, so I take this job very seriously, as I know our love for pets exceeds love for anything else. At least for me. I am also a paraeducator and it’s my job to take care of people.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you’re pet has special needs or allergies. I want to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. Let me know if there is anything else special about your pup that I need to know. Otherwise, I am very adaptable and easy going.

A typical day

I like to make sure we get some exercise in. Walking is one of my favorite things to do, so I would be glad to take your dog(s) for long walks. I like to walk around the Lake of The Isle with dogs- it’s very family friendly and safe with lots of happy people everywhere. My clients usually have particular places they like to walk. I also have a car that I allow dogs to be in.
