Emily was able to accommodate us last minute and watch Albus for the day. Emily sent plenty of updates and photos, reassuring us that Albus was in great hands. We would love to use Emily for future dog car needs!

Emily is so sweet and took such good care of my dog, Ralph. She took the time to do a meet & greet before the booking and sent pictures and updates everyday! She even kept him on his diet haha. I’d definitely recommend Emily to take care of your furry friends 🐶

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.
