Doggy Day Care • Oct 10, 2026

This is my first time using Rover and I had such a positive experience, all thanks to Emily! Emily is so sweet and took such good care of my puppy for a week, giving him a sense of exploring and adventure! She’s very kind and communicative! I appreciate her fast and timely responses, and the daily updates (with adorable pictures!) so much!

Emily was a great sitter for our puppy. You could tell he enjoyed his experience of undivided attention. She took the best pictures so it felt like we were there with him. We were so thankful to go out knowing he was good. We will definitely book with her again.

Emily did such a wonderful job taking care of my girl. She sent regular, helpful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. I came home to a very happy dog, and she was also incredibly respectful of my house. I would definitely have her back.
