Dog and cat lover of all kinds

Pet care experience

I love dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have been around all types of dogs since I was very little and can provide great care for them. I have a huge respect for what dogs can do for us and the emotional support and therapy they can provide for others. In the future, I plan to own a therapy dog so I can help others and Rover is a great way to gain experience in caring for all types of dogs! I currently go to Mercy College of Health Sciences as a part-time student. I am available all day Tuesdays, Wednesdays after 12 p.m., all day Thursdays and Fridays, and can be flexible with weekends. I live in downtown Des Moines in a pet-friendly apartment that has a fenced-off dog park. There are plenty of near by parks that dogs would love to play in. My roommates and I foster cats once in awhile; however, they generally hide or will not bother other animals.

Emily was so great! I had to go on a day trip last minute and was so worried about Remi. I had never used the services of a dog sitter, and Remi can be a little apprehensive with strangers. As it turns out, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Emily was graciously able to accommodate my last minute request for three visits in one day, tolerated my constant nervous messaging, and judging by the photos she sent me, made Remi feel very comfortable and safe. I simply could not be happier about my experience with Emily and with Rover in general, and I will absolutely be using her services again anytime I need a little puppy help.

Emily did an excellent job taking Tela for walks outside of our house while I was out-of-town. Tela was instantly comfortable around Emily when she stopped by to meet us and to see the lay of the land the day prior to leaving for my trip. Very prompt responses via the Rover mobile app before and throughout my trip. I can’t relax while out of town unless I feel very confident that Tela Is safe, being given lots of love, and is happy with her environment. Emily provides that confidence for you.

Emily is a compassionate and caring individual who loves animals. She is responsible, organized, and will make sure your dog is safely cared for. I would highly recommend Emily to care for your dog!
