Your Pet’s Home Away from Home

Pet care experience

When your pets are here, they’re family! We make a point to ensure that each pet in our care is treated as if they were our own with plenty of love, care, and attention. A happy pup equals a happy home! I have experience with all ages, especially senior pups, as well as dogs with allergies, picky eaters, and everything in between. Our house is very pet friendly with a good sized backyard and a 6-foot privacy fence. We have dog beds and toys galore along for everyone to share. I know every pet has unique needs and am always ready to do what it takes to make them feel safe, comfortable, and as happy as possible while missing their family!

The absolute best sitter! Thank you so much for taking care of Bear. It’s such a relief having a safe home away from home for him!

This is the second time we have trusted Emily with our dog Jenny and it was just as great as the last time! Emily made sure that Jenny was comfortable and helped ensured that she adjusted well. We also received many pics of her while we were away which was an extra peace of mind. She’s the best!

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.
