Safety, trust & environment

I do not currently care for pets in my home as my mother runs a daycare, and pets around children can be unpredictable and a lot of the littles are allergic.

Information Emily W. would like to know about your pet

If your animal has any allergies, medical conditions, or medication that needs to be administered throughout the day. As well as any restrictions you have for the home.

A typical day

A typical day would entail going outside for potty breaks and playtime, whether I am there for a drop in visit or an all day/evening visit. I will watch the animal's behavior to discover their favorite toy and how they like to play. As well make sure they are eating well and getting their favorite treats throughout the day.

Pets

You leave the pet, I love them

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs and cats my whole life and my love for them has only grown stronger. My goal is to take care of your pets like they are my own, by providing them with care, attention, and love. In addition, I have recently received a certification from IAP career college through a pet sitting course. I can provide basic services like feeding, taking to the bathroom, scooping litter boxes, bathing, taking to the groomers, walks, checking the mail for you, putting garbage bins to the street, and watering plants.

Emily was wonderful with our pup as always! Our other pet sitter canceled on us the day before our travels and Emily stepped up to help with drop-in last minute. She is always so communicative and provides great updates while we're away. It's a relief to know that she's taking care of him.

As always I get an update and lots of pictures. Emily makes sure my little hippo doesn't get too hot and gives her ice cubes

Emily helped us in the past with house-sitting, and for this booking, she came over for multiple walks and drop-ins over the weekend while we were out of town. We greatly appreciated the clear communication, consistency, and updates with pictures. It was a relief to know that Zeus was well cared for while we were away. I know Zeus cannot wait for another visit with her soon.

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.
