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

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 helping maintain 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 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 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. I communicate and send pictures frequently. Check out the gallery of photos I have taken of my adorable clients over the years!

Emily took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town. She is professional, communicative and I felt very at ease with all her updates. Highly recommend and hope to work with Emily again!

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.

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.
