Your Dog's Second Mom <3
Pet care experience
My name is Emily and I have had two family dogs, and two of my own. I lost my husky mix, Namuche, in 2014 and Roscoe came into my life in October 2015. I started doing Rover after I lost Namuche, because I wasn't quite ready to get another dog yet. The entire concept of Rover is great for the pets and great for me, and hands down beats having them stuck in a 6x8 kennel somewhere during your whole vacation only to come back to a doggie full of pent up energy. That never happens here. Around working a full 8 hour day, I still make sure the pups have at least two good walks a day, with their evening walk being longest. Tons of play time, attention, pets, couch time, exercise, kisses and often homemade treats at Your Dog's Second Mom! Roscoe is a rescue from Roswell, NM. He's definitely got a personality of his own. He is an 8 year old Chocolate lab/German Shorthaired Pointer mix. He's a sweetheart and has gotten along great with all other dogs during the first 4 years of doing Rover, and now with a few years under his belt, he's become a little pickier about who he likes in his space. He loves all females, and males generally with the exception of unneutered males. I have to make special adjustments to house any males he does not take to. He will be your pets companion during their stay. I can administer oral medication, bath, groom and walk your pets while you are gone so you can be at ease while you are away. I provide top quality care and comfortable environment for your pups during your time away. Roscoe helps make them feel at home too! As much outdoor time as possible - that is the best thing I think anyone can provide for an active dog. Lots of fresh air, sniffs and exercise. For the small ones, nice comfortably paced walks on the sidewalks. When we return, we do a couple tricks for treats and they're usually pooped out and ready for a nap by that point. I'm extra vigilant when walking other's dogs as it takes one a moment to learn their quirks - some dogs lunge at cars, some at people, some at bikes, you know. Safety is absolutely important and I would hope that someone paid the extra vigilance when walking my boy because he definitely has his quirks.
Reviews
Emily was delightful. She accepted Izzy’s quirks with no problem. Cared for her well, took her on road trips, and generally loved on her. We would definitely use her again.
Thank you for being so flexible and treating Blue like family!
Thanks Emily. Steve said he wanted to stay! Enjoy your day.❤️
I knew the moment I met Emily she had a heart of gold and would be perfect for my Piper! I was admittedly nervous , my dog goes everywhere with me.. but WOW she made it so comfortable and reduced all of my stress. Emily is a solid 100% and can not thank her enough for her hospitality and generosity with Piper. My concerns were for nothing as well as my anxiety. I can not say enough of how awesome she is! ?

Roscoe Jenkins is here to show your pup the ropes! We've got a backyard with a line and several runners, a field of trees in the back for them to watch wildlife, and a kiddie pool in the summers for the pups to cool off in. I never have the dogs out unattended, and never off leash.

Information Emily S. would like to know about your pet
Food Aggressive? Possessive of Toys? Anything Quirky he/she does when you walk them? Where do they normally like to sleep? How much exercise are they used to?
A typical day
Dogs are allowed on my couch, I have a kennel set up in the house with a dog bed in it so if your pet likes the crate it is there for him/her. I have a porch that wraps half way around the house, and a lead in the back where the dogs can roam yet be contained in the yard. There are a lot of windows in the house, so if I'm not on the porch working on something while enjoying the fresh air with the pups, I keep and eye on them from the desk or kitchen sink where the windows are. We go for walks on the trails that we can access not far down the road. I enjoy sitting in the yard, drinking my coffee and brushing a pup. Cuddle buddies, play buddies, walking buddies. Your dogs are in good care.

Availability
I don't have children, so the dogs in my care are my babies. I wash their food bowls out every meal, haha Making sure we get out to the park for play and on the trail for daily hikes is as important to my daily routine as i feel it is for most dogs. The pups are a part of my every day, all day.
