I’m currently working full time during the week, but could walk your pup during lunchtime or evenings. I can also help out on weekends. For boarding, I’m pretty open! Always make sure to spoil your pet and give them lots of love while you’re away.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what command words you use and any special things I should be aware of. That way I can be sure to speak their language! Also, please let me know how they are with other dogs and people.

A typical day

I make sure they are sitting before crossing the road to remind them when we need to wait for safety. I keep them away from other dogs that come off aggressive or could be.

Here for the puppy love!

Pet care experience

I’ve had two Yorkshire terriers in my lifetime (Kelsey + Sophie), and have been around dogs since I was born. I used to work at a dog groomer shop for one year, where I gave dogs of all sizes baths and a good brush. I don’t currently have a pup, so I’d love to spend time with your pets if you need help taking care of them! All dogs deserve great love and care, and I’m happy to help make that happen! :) We’re so lucky to have dogs in our lives as they love unconditionally and bring so much joy to even the simplest of life’s moments. Let’s get those tails waggin’, pups exercised, and tummies filled with treats!

I had such a wonderful experience with Emily watching my senior dog Bambi over the weekend! From the very beginning, she was really kind, organized, accommodating, and easy to communicate with, which made leaving Bambi a very comfortable experience. She took great care of Bambi and was incredibly attentive to her needs. Bambi is nervous during storms, and Emily was so patient and reassuring with her during them. She also made sure Bambi had plenty of outside balcony sunshine time. Throughout the weekend, Emily kept me updated, was always very responsive, and regularly sent pictures which was wonderful. It’s clear that Bambi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Everything from drop-off to pick-up was seamless, and Emily’s kindness and passion for dogs truly shows. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely ask her to board Bambi again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾

This was my first time using Rover and Emily did an amazing job with both taking care of my dog, and walking me through the process. She sent lots of pictures, and my dog absolutely loved her.

Emily is an avid dog lover, treating every dog as if it were her own, and it shows! She is friendly, highly responsible, and takes excellent care of my pets. With Emily, your dog will be spoiled, well cared for and returned tired from a great walk/visit!
