Rover is my current full time job and I like to keep my schedule open for pet sittings. I know not a lot of people have the time to care for pets multiple days in a row. I keep my schedule open to make time to care for pets.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I feed my pets twice a day, I’ll take my dog for his daily 2 mile walk with a few more long walks sprinkled throughout the day. We often go to dog parks when the weather allows it. My cats are very independent. I make sure to give them lots of clean water access, toys, scratch pads, and we even play videos of nature for cats on the TV while we are out of the house. The way I take care of my pets is a reflection of how I take care of my client’s pets. I know all pets have unique routines and needs. I will to tend to those routines and needs while showing them a lot of love while their beloved owner is away.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has special needs, needs medication, has allergies, or a history of corrected aggression. I want to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. I want to keep myself safe as well. Let me know if there is anything else special about your pet that I need to know. Safety is key.

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’ve also been known to play fetch for hours with very active dogs. Dog parks are a great option as well. I know a ton of fun dog parks if you have a dog who needs socialization and excercise. My clients usually have particular places they like to walk. Routine and familiarity is important. I also have a car that I allow dogs to be in with a dog safe seat.

Pet care experience

Hey fellow animal lovers! My name is Emily and I have been caring for dogs and cats (bunnies, exotic fish, Guinea pigs, and more!) since I can remember. Friends, family, and Rover clients trust me to keep their pets safe while helping maintain their everyday lifestyle and routine. Whether you’re simply busy, need a regular drop in, need some quality exercise, or a house stay for your vacations. I am open to all unique situations. Animals are very important to me and caring for them is one of my favorite things to do. I have been caring for animals for a very long time. I have 3 pets of my own; my dog (Beverz) and two cats (Sasha and Fergie). My pets are in the care of my boyfriend while I am away doing house stays. My happy place is caring for animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pet family :) I follow the directions. I do 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 wonderful! She made sure to keep us updated multiple times throughout each day of her stay and sent lots of photos. She was considerate, communicative, and we felt very confident our home and pets were in safe hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter and will gladly use her again when we need one!

Emily was great with our 2 dogs! She kept us informed each day. We are so grateful she took such wonderful care of our boys and house while we were on vacation.

Emily was amazing. Very communicative, on top of the meds our dog required, the dogs were loved, and she took care of the house. We even had a handoff required with family, and Emily offered to stay later than we originally asked her to in order to help with that. We will definitely request her support again and could not have been happier with the experience. Thanks Emily!

Emily is by far the best dog sitter we have ever used. I will leave her a glowing review, but I wish we could keep it a secret! Your pet will be in incredible hands. She is the best communicator, and gives several updates. We honestly were able to enjoy our time on vacation without a single worry. She was the best friend our pup needed while we were gone. She is so kind, and thoughtful! 100/10 recommend. Thank you so much Emily! You have a gift for helping people make their pets feel cared for!! :)

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.
