Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Looking for little dogs but open to different breeds. Trying to gain experience and understanding for a dog I would like one day. After doing a handful of jobs we are discovering that both of us may be allergic to dogs. We might have to limit to small hypoallergenic dogs.

A typical day

I love to play and walk and run. Our yard is fenced in now. We completed the final gate recently. It will be a fun experience.

Hypoallergenic dogs only please!

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Emily and I am helping my daughter Abigayle who is 8 years old and is dog sitting in order to raise money to buy her own dog and gain experience in the process. In our early dog sitting jobs, we have found we are both very allergic. We would love to keep sitting hypoallergenic dogs only please. I know this is not very conducive to rover but rather than get off all together I thought I would try this request bc we still do want to gain experience. Mom will be helping and working from home to take dogs out when daughter is at school. She is sweet, fun loving and loves to play. She is responsible to keep the dogs on a leash in our neighborhood. We’ve managed to fully fenced in yard now as well so it’s exciting to have a place for dogs to play! Happy to pick your dog up if you are comfortable or if it would be convenient for a tip to your discretion. Just wanted to lend a helping hand and make things as simple as possible and you are also welcome to come see our home first for a meet up or bring your furry friend over whichever works.

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.
