Pet care experience

Loving, Reliable Pet Care

My life long love of animals and passion for helping others inspired me to start a pet sitting business. My goal is to provide a sense of peace for pet owners knowing their fur-babies are in good hands, feeling safe and loved in their own environment. I have a lifetime of experience raising my own pets, volunteering at local animal shelters (which includes assisting medical teams), and caring for friends and neighbors pets. I understand that each animal is unique with specific needs that require someone who truly cares and will treat them like family. I currently have 3 medium/large rescue dogs and 1 rescue cat of my own. I have completed several training courses (advanced off leash, trick training, dock diving, agility, & CGC) with each of my dogs allowing me to become very familiar with managing various personalities and to recognize the needs of individual pups. I also volunteer at a local animal rescue and currently focus on socializing, cleaning, and administering medication for cats as well as surgery recovery for both dogs and cats.

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to offer pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry companions are safe, loved, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home. With three dogs and a cat of my own, I understand each animal is unique, and I adjust my care based on the needs of your pets, their routines, and your preferences. For the safety of your dogs, they will always be kept on a leash when outside and never left unattended in a fenced in area.

Emily is wonderful with my 5 dogs! She skillfully manages our rotation system and even my skittish, fearful dog absolutely loves her. Cannot recommend her services enough!

Emily was super attentive with our fur babies and was also able to be flexible when our itinerary changed; we came home to super happy pets!

Dog Walking • Mar 01, 2025

Emily was wonderful with our Bagel. It took a little while for him to understand that Emily was there to give him walks. She was so patient with him and within two days he was super excited to see her. She left me detailed notes and pictures to let me know that he was loving his walks too. We will definitely be using her services again.

Your fur babies are in good hands with Pet Care by Emily. Emily’s diverse pet experience means she’s caring for your kitties and pups like they’re her own, I always enjoy vacations a little more when Emily is in charge!

Your pets will be in the best hands with Emily. She had been pet sitting our cats for 4 years and I never need to worry when they are in her care. She will not only take care of all the pet chores, but will take time to give them plenty of love and attention. Her experience at a local rescue has also made her a pro at giving meds and handling any situation that may arise. She is the best!

Schedule

After leaving the corporate world, I was inspired to combine my lifelong love of animals with my passion for helping others, which led me to start pet sitting. I am available for early morning, afternoon, and evening drop-ins, dog walks, and in-home care (overnight stays with the ability to leave for periods of time throughout the day). I do not currently offer constant care as I have 3 dogs of my own that also require walks.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Emily can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
In efforts to ensure the wellbeing and comfort of your pet while in my care, I would love to get an understanding of your pet's needs, routine, temperament, and anything you feel would be important for me to know, so I can accommodate their individual needs.
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.
