Pet care experience

Experienced • Trusted • Reliable

Hello pet families! My name is Emily and I have been caring for dogs and cats (bunnies, fish, Guinea pigs, and more!) since I can remember. Friends, family, and Rover clients trust me to keep their pets safe while maintaining their everyday lifestyle and routine. I am grateful to be a sitter who is asked to come back for more sittings because of the love I provide for pets, and the respect I have for the home. Whether you’re busy, needing a regular drop in, some quality exercise, or a house stay for any occasion, 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 and family while I am away doing house stays. My happy place is time spent with 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 know that I would expect respect in my home while my pets are being cared for, and I do the same for others. I make sure your pet is safe, maintain their routine, make sure they’re in a good mood, and healthy while you are away. I communicate and send pictures frequently. Check out the gallery of photos I have taken of my adorable clients over the years!

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.

Emily is phenomenal with her two golden retrievers. This is our second time booking with her. She goes above and beyond. One of our golden retrievers is medically complex and she leads with her heart in caring for our dogs while we are away. Overall, she is a gem!

We had Emily stay with our two dogs for two weeks at our house while we were away. She is excellent and goes above and beyond. She is by far the best communicator that we’ve experienced on Rover. We felt that our dogs were in such good hands while we were gone and that gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Emily and would love to use her services again in the future!

Our dogs were very well cared for while we were away. Emily had fantastic communication with us the entire time we were gone so we knew how things were going at home. We came home to happy dogs, a well cared for house and a garden that was watered while we were away. I would definitely recommend having Emily care for your pets while you're away.

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.

Emily can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
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.
