My standard housesitting includes an overnight stay and 1 midday visit. When I work from home, I am often at your home most of the day as well as in the evening.

Information Emily V. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if they are up to date on all vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. I need to know if they have any allergies or specific foods they cannot have (besides all the usual suspects such as onions, chocolate, etc.). I need to know if they have any weird quirks or triggers. Please let me know if you have specific commands you use or any training you would like us to enforce.
A typical day
I love hiking, walking and exploring new places especially with a dog to accompany me. I love snuggling with dogs, playing with them and soaking up the sunshine together!

Lots of love for your furbabies!
Pet care experience
All of my children had fur! In the past couple years, I lost my rescued Shepherd/Akita mix at age 13, our rescued St. Bernard/Chow mix at age 15 and our Lab/Spaniel mix at the ripe old age of 16. It has been very difficult coping with losing my babies, but since starting Rover, being able to care for so many animals has truly been so healing and rewarding. I am loving it! Due to COVID, I decided to spend the last couple years volunteering for street dog rescues and orphanages around the world. It has been such an amazing experience. When you book with me, you get experience and dedication. I ensure your pets are showered with an enormous amount of love and attention. My goal is to make sure your babies don't want you to come home! I have had dogs since I was born and absolutely couldn't imagine life without them. I have also had hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs and would LOVE to watch yours because I miss mine so much! I understand how stressful it is to go away and have to leave your furbabies. I know how helpful it is to receive daily updates. I promise to shower you with pictures and videos, more than you know what to do with! I had a special needs dog who lost 1 leg and was blind. I had a dog with extreme separation anxiety. I have been through numerous medical procedures with my animals and have administered medications, handled wound care, hand fed, etc. Whatever your pets need, I'm up for the challenge! I owned a single-family home for 12 years and did all maintenance (plumbing, electrical, carpentry, etc.), renovations and landscaping with my husband. I have owned a condo for 19 years. I own an insurance agency. I am able to work from home so I can arrange to stay with your animals if you prefer not to have them left alone for long periods of time. Have no doubt that your beloved home and precious animals will be in excellent hands! For those that need 12-24hr care, please contact me for rates. Our standard housesitting includes an overnight stay and 1 midday visit. When I work from home, I am often at your home most of the day as well as in the evening.
Reviews
Emily does an amazing job! She is very professional and detailed oriented. She followed the medication instructions for our cat perfectly. Our cat has a history of hissing at strangers, but when she met Emily she was purring and wanted pets from her! Emily is a superlative sitter!
Thank you for the kind emergency care
Emily was amazing, so patient and loving with Diesel, who can be a bit of a handful. He was sound asleep when I got home - content and happy after a day spent with Emily. I'll absolutely be calling her again!
Emily was lovely! She took great care of Penny, sent lots of updates and was flexible and easy to work with. Even when we had trouble with our door lock, she stayed in contact and took care of everything! We will definitely book Emily in the future! 5 stars!
