Pet care experience

Loving, vigilant, dependable

I have done a lot of traveling and have boarded my dogs at a kennel numerous times. It always broke my heart that they would be in a that situation without the attention they were used to getting. Now, there is a choice to do something different! I know how important it is to keep a pet sitting commitment so dog parents don't have to cancel any plans. I am reliable and often pet sit for friends and family so I thought, why not supplement my income? It's a win/win situation. Since I am retired, my schedule would work around your needs. Simply put, I am a dog person, I have loved and owned dogs for as long as I remember. There is nothing like seeing a dog's bright eyes and a wagging tail because they are happy. That always brings a smile to my face. I will snuggle, pet, scratch and talk to your dog, endlessly to get that happy reaction from them. It is preferable for me to visit and sit your pet at your home. I have 1 very outgoing dog that loves everyone and most other dogs, but I also have a rescue that was in a facility for a year. Yofi is insecure around other dogs. I don't want to stress him out because he has been making good progress with people and dogs lately. Any setback would be unfortunate. I have experience sitting with dogs of all sizes - Mastiff, Great Danes, Pit Bulls and Pit mixes, Australian Shepherds, Chow Chows, and many medium and small dogs as well. I will pamper your pooch with love and attention and do everything to keep them safe while in my care. Walks, hugs and kisses, playing with toys and quiet cuddles will all be on the schedule. Feeding schedules will be kept and fresh, cool water will always be provided. Any concerns I may have about your pet's health, etc., will be promptly communicated to you. Can't wait to send you pictures of your happy pet while you're away!

Emily was wonderful! She loved our two dogs, was attentive and took amazing care of them. Made our trip easy not to have to worry about them as they were in good hands. Highly recommend!

Emily provided a loving home for my Shih Tzu Toby while I was gone. I returned to a happy dog and a very clean home.

Emily is great! Her calm demeanor was great for our dogs and cats. She truly cared for the wellbeing of our pets, especially our little codependent one, Susie. 😊 Highly recommend!

Emily was the best! She was so thoughtful and helpful with respect to our two Havanese dogs, particularly our 14 year old girl who has many medical issues. Emily had great ideas about caring for her, which have helped me immensely. Our house was spotless when we arrived with everything in order. You can’t go wrong with Emily!

Schedule

I am retired, so I can spend a lot of time with your pets. Your pets will be my priority and their safety is most important.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Emily can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like to know what activities they enjoy, what behavioral issues he/she has (if any), and what Mom and/or Dad allows them to do. I also want to know what areas may be off limits. A local contact is nice to have if Mom and Dad can't be reached in case of an emergency.
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.
