Pet care experience
Safe, Reliable & Flexible Pet Care
As a full-time traveler living the van-life dream, I bring a unique blend of dedication, responsibility, and individualized attention to every pet I care for. My background includes years of hands-on experience looking after family pets—especially cats of all temperaments—and running my own professional cleaning business. This means I deeply understand the level of trust, cleanliness, and respect required when managing someone else's home. I specialize in house sitting, drop-in visits, and active dog walking. To ensure your pet gets premium care while allowing me to manage my business and personal errands, I operate under clear service boundaries: STANDARD CARE: My standard house sitting rate covers normal daytime flexibility alongside dedicated overnight care. I spend the vast majority of my day providing companionship, but I maintain standard daytime flexibility to leave the home as needed, ensuring I am never away for more than 4 hours at a time. CONSTANT CARE: If your pet has severe separation anxiety or medical needs requiring intensive, around-the-clock supervision (3-hour or shorter away windows), a custom daytime premium of $25 per day/night will be added to cover the full 24 hours of dedicated care. I treat every home I enter with the highest level of care. I am exceptionally quiet, tidy, and clean. Please review my detailed breakdown below regarding my seasonal availability and typical daily routines to see how we can set up the perfect care schedule for your pet!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I treat your home and your pets with the absolute highest level of care, cleanliness, and respect. HOME SELF-SUFFICIENCY: Because my home travels with me, I am uniquely self-sufficient. For house sitting, I typically sleep in my fully-equipped van parked outside to give your pets daytime companionship while keeping your home private. If your pet requires overnight company inside, I am happy to accommodate that upon request. RESPECTING YOUR SPACE: For longer stays, I may minimally use the kitchen or bathroom as needed—always providing my own food and keeping your space entirely tidy. I am also happy to help collect mail or water plants upon request! CAT SAFETY: To ensure their absolute safety, I strictly adhere to indoor-only boundaries during my visits and always double-check doors and windows upon entering and leaving.
Ratings and reviews
Emily did a wonderful job caring for Hank and Milo. She followed all instructions, was incredibly communicative, and sent lots of great pics and videos of the dogs while I was gone. I came back to happy dogs and a clean house. I would totally hire Emily again!


Emily was amazing with our 2 dogs and cat at our home while we were away. House was clean and pets were well loved on. Would love to hire Emily again in the future!

Schedule
Because I live full-time on the road, my primary focus is dedicated to the pets in my care! To keep things completely transparent, here is how I manage my availability: ARIZONA WINTER BOOKINGS: During the winter season, pet care is my 100% full-time focus with wide-open availability. I plan to be in the Tempe/Phoenix area from December 15th, 2026- February 28th, 2027. UTAH BOOKINGS: During the rest of the year, I operate a part-time house cleaning business. I carefully structure my cleaning days so that I am never away from your pet for more than 4 hours at a time. I will always let you know in advance or during your booking request if your booking dates coincides with one of my scheduled cleanings. I'm happy to make changes if necessary to my cleaning schedule if this poses to be an issue, I just need enough time in advance to communicate and make those accomadations. SERVICE FRAMEWORK: To ensure high-quality care, individual time caps apply to drop-in services (1 to 2 hours max) and dog walks (30 minutes to 1 hour max). House sitting bookings operate within flexible arrival windows to account for traffic or weather.

- While I always thoroughly review your pet's Rover profile before we chat, I love to get a little extra insight into their day-to-day personality! During our initial conversation or Meet & Greet, please let me know: CURRENT QUIRKS & HABITS: Any specific likes, dislikes, or unique personality quirks that will help me bond with them quickly. SOCIAL COMFORT LEVEL: How they currently react to seeing other dogs on walks, meeting strangers, or dealing with loud noises like storms. SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS: Any recent updates to their feeding, medication, or bathroom routines that might not be on their profile yet. HOUSE PREFERENCES: Your preferred rules regarding furniture, where they sleep at night, and any specific house boundaries they are used to following.
