Dependable Rover Care Since 2017

I can help alleviate your separation anxiety from your fur-baby with dependable and compassionate care. I currently work in finance in tech, but love caring for others’ pets in my free time. I have two cats of my own and used to own two high-energy hound dogs, so I have lots of experience with both species. I have also fostered multiple rescues through Gingers Pet Rescue, and have volunteered at the PAWS and the Seattle Humane Society. I am also willing to take care of other species, such as rats, bunnies, fish, etc! I will provide you with detailed updates, and the best part- pictures! I have experience with medication giving, anxious pets, reactive dogs, and insulin injections.

I care for your pets as they were my own. I know what it’s like to be away, as I have two dogs and cats of my own.

Can’t recommend Emily enough! We’ve had her house sit several times and she does such an excellent job with our 2 cats. She is extremely communicative, leaves our house in excellent condition, and really loves on our boys while we are away. Couldn’t ask for anything else in a pet sitter!

Emily was excellent, as always. She takes great care of our 2 cats and our home. She’s very communicative and constantly updates us (with photos). One of our cats is very shy and he always warms up to her quickly. We definitely recommend Emily! ❤️

Emily was so great with our dogs and our home. She handled everything as we asked and she was quick to respond via text. She also takes great pics, which is not easy with these two! I felt very comfortable with her watching Rio and Mia. Thanks so much Emily. We will def be rebooking you in the future.

Highly recommend Emily! She is excellent with our cats (even our very shy cat is quick to warm up to her). She communicates regularly, takes excellent care of our 2 cats, and leaves our home in spotless condition. Thanks as always, Emily.

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs/preferences/quirks (for example, if they dislike other dogs, are reactive on leash, or if your kitty doesn’t like to be pet in a certain spot, etc.)
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.
