Safety, trust & environment

My current dog is a beagle who is easygoing and loves people, other dogs, and cats. We walk every day and attend the dog park regularly. My services will vary based on the individual needs of your pet: age, energy level, excitability, and socialization. My primary goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me if your pet: • is reactive, aggressive, or resource guards • has a bite history • is kid- or pet-friendly (if walking) • is on medication • has a special diet (e.g., can only eat certain treats) • has allergies • has physical limitations • has special needs This information allows me to care for your pet in the best way possible and will not affect your rate.

A typical day

My goal is to make your dog feel safe and cared for, and release their energy. Depending on their capabilities, we will go on walks, play fetch, play tug of war, or work on basic commands like "sit" and "stay." I'll also cuddle them and give them LOTS of good scritches.

Pet care experience

I try my best to take glamour shots of your pet and include every detail about the visit. It's basically like getting a postcard from your pet while you're away 💞 I've taken care of dogs for most of my life. I have experience with senior dogs and special-needs cases (such as dogs recovering from surgery or who show timidness and need a calm, patient caregiver).

Emily is the first sitter I look for and has always been available when I needed her. She is great with my very picky kitty! Will definitely be using her again!

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.
