Pet care experience
Highly experienced sitter, love all animals big and small! Although I have just joined Rover, I have been pet sitting on my own since 2013. I have experience in farm, domestic and exotics. As a certified Veterinary Assistant, I am more than comfortable giving medications and treatments as needed. Willing to care for any pet of any age- and I have a soft spot for the elders who need some extra TLC.
Reviews
Emily was great and can’t recommend her enough. She has excellent communication, sent several photos while we were away, and made sure our pups were taken care. She even went to the length of hand feeding our fur babies when they weren’t eating.
I don't know what I would do without Emily! She is a loving professional who I have been able to call upon often with little notice. She has stayed at my home with my dog on several occasions. Given her background in veterinary care I have relied upon her often with questions ranging from my dog's behavior (she's a quirky rescue), diet and nutrition and and health concerns when it's not easy to know if a concern should be followed up. I trust her in my home and my dog is absolutely in LOVE with her! I highly recommend Emily.
Emily watched our super high energy, very needy 2 year old Pittie while we were on vacation. Frankie requires multiple walks per day and frequent session of fetch and Emily was up for the task! She took excellent care of her and sent us daily updates with pictures. When we got home it was clear that Frankie had a great time with Emily! Highly recommend for your pet needs!
About Emily S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet is different, so I prefer to take my time making sure they’re comfortable enough to trust me caring for them. Sometimes, with the more anxious friends, it takes multiple visits and that’s okay! I always care for them as my own, with lots of love. Their happiness and comfort is a top priority. I’ll always make sure your baby is well exercised and provided for. I will treat your home and property with respect as well.
Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
Does your pet display guarding behavior around food, toys or people?Does your pet have a bite history? What is your preferred way to redirect unwanted behavior? Do they know any tricks? What’s their favorite reward or treat?
A typical day
If there’s a field or a hiking trail nearby, I’d love to take them! I believe mental stimulation is just as important- playing games, puzzles, practicing commands and tricks.

Availability
I work full-time at a veterinary hospital! Trying to fit in as many walks and drop ins before I head into work. I am able to house sit as my schedule allows. Doing my best to fit everybody in.
