Former Zookeeper, Marine Biologist

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Emily and I have always known I would dedicate my life to working with animals. I adore cats, dogs, and anything in between (reptiles, amphibians, rodents, and arachnids)! I am well aware of what it takes to take outstanding care of animals and remaining diligent to the health and well-being of my clients beloved friends. I have an amazing dog, and I know how important it is to show them proper care, exercise, and structure in order for them to maintain high quality of life. If chosen I will do all in my power to show your animal the genuine care and compassion all species on this earth deserve. Growing up with 6 different animals prepared me well for a life of caring for animals that now have ranged from alligators, hippos and manatees all the way to the more domestic animals like cats, dogs, and rabbits. I graduated in 2017 with a B.S. in Marine Biology from Florida Southern College and I am currently attending the University of Miami for a graduate degree in Marine Conservation, preparing to graduate in the fall. I had taken a 3 year break starting in 2020, from dog/house sitting, but have recently decided to start Rovering again full time while finishing up school. I have worked as a Park Ranger for the State of Florida, a Naturalist for The Ritz Carlton, and have also interned with different marine biology related companies and non-profits. Please message me so I can get to know your furry friends!

Emily did a great job! I loved how communicative she was and appreciated the photos she sent of her time with my dog. She followed instructions regarding his schedule and training perfectly, and gave him plenty of exercise. I came home to a very happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Emily care for my pup again!

Emily is phenomenal! She stayed at our house with our pup for a long weekend. She was very loving and caring to our pup. She sent us daily pictures and updates, which is important to us. She also was very thorough and honest about everything. I definitely recommend her for overnight stays!

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

I wish to treat all dogs under my care with care and compassion. I am willing to make whatever accommodations necessary for any dog that has dietary restrictions, special needs, behavioral issues, or social anxiety. All animals deserve the chance to be shown how much they mean to us as pets.

A typical day

I would take the dog on a walk around the neighborhood or a local dog park if there is one in the area. I love to play fetch with my dog and am willing to do activities with a dog to make them happy and comfortable.
