Availability

I’m currently working from home full time except for one-two days of the week. On the days I work from home (Mondays, most Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays) I have the flexibility to make local drop-in visits or take walks in the area. I also am able to work remotely from any location with WiFi, so if your best friend needs a house-sitter, I can be available. I have the most availability for services on the weekends when I am off the clock, but I am also flexible. I can also accept last minute bookings. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about my availability!

Also let me know what training you’re working on so I can help reinforce it while your pet is in my care! And if I’m house sitting, please feel free to share any house rules for both me and your pets, along with anything else that helps me best respect your home 🐾

A typical day

A typical day is all about having fun while sticking to your pet’s routine! We’ll head out for walks at their pace (with plenty of sniff breaks), play with favorite toys, and spend lots of quality time together with attention and affection. I focus on keeping things fun, comfortable, and tailored to what your pet loves the most.

Pet care experience

Hi there - I'm Emily (she/her). I always say that animals make everything better and I really believe that! Growing up with multiple animals in my life, I've always understood that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level that is important to learn. Having experience with both adopted young puppies and adult dogs, I know the value of developing behavioral skills while also having fun! I’ve always been the go-to friend with questions about caring for animals, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their people. Although new to Rover, I bring 15+ years of hands-on experience and am confident I can provide safe, loving, and enriching experience for your furry friend, treating them like my own.

Emily was fantastic! She took care of our brand new puppy over the course of a long weekend — definitely a pretty big ask for a dogsitter! Emily handled everything (instructions about crate training, feeding, etc.) with ease. She was super communicative; had a calm, confident manner; and obviously takes a lot of joy out of being with dogs. We loved getting our daily “pupdates” and knowing that Charlie was in such good hands.

Emily was incredible with my very shy and nervous pup. She was communicative, patient, and took such good care of my house and pup alike - would absolutely book with her again!
