Trusted Care for Pets & Home
Pet care experience
Please be advised that I work full-time Monday through Friday and am away from the home for approximately 8–9 hours during the day. If your pet requires constant companionship or has specific needs during those hours, I may not be the best fit for your situation. Thank you so much for your understanding—I truly appreciate it and look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved pets! Growing up with cats, I gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for them, especially when my parents traveled. I’ve also looked after my neighbor’s cat during her extended trips, ensuring they were well cared for while also handling tasks like plant watering and snow shoveling. While cats hold a special place in my heart, I also love spending time with my parents’ dog and friends’ dogs, which sparked my interest in pet sitting. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and treating every pet as if they were my own, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Reviews
Emma is the kind of petsitter you dream of finding. Not only is she an incredibly kind person, but her love and care for animals is so evident. She is detail oriented, thorough in her planning and preparation and provided updates throughout her stay at our home. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog in her care while we were away and she made it so easy for us to do so. We’re so grateful to have found such a trusted person and look forward to having her back again, (and I’m sure our dog does too)!
A friend recommended Rover to me and I had a look because we needed to find someone to stay with our dog. I feel so grateful I found Emma. She came to meet us beforehand and had so many questions I wouldn’t have thought of. She took amazing care of our dog and our home. She sent me many updates with pictures. Emma is warm and friendly and very responsible. I’m pretty sure my dog didn’t even miss me! We’ll definitely be booking with Emma again.
Emma is super communicative, sends lots of pictures and updates, and is a responsible house guest. She’s taken great care of our cat and our home and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again.
Emma did a great job taking care of our 4 cats and our house. She provided daily updates with photos and was very easy to communicate with. We would recommend her and will book with her again for future trips.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities. Before an extended stay, I offer shorter daytime pet-sitting sessions (4-8 hours) to help your pet feel at ease with me in your home. This also gives you time to run errands or enjoy a few hours to yourself. While you’re away, I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s routine, providing plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment to keep them happy and engaged. I also take pride in keeping your home tidy—cleaning up any spaces I use, watering plants, shoveling snow, and handling small tasks so you return to a well-cared-for home. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet feel at ease during your time apart.
Information Emma D. would like to know about your pet
I like to be prepared so please provide me with your pet’s vet information (for house sitting and drop in visits). Please also let me know if your pet has favorite toys, activities they like to do or treats they can have. The more information you provide me about your pet the better. Are they friendly with other pets? Do I need to be concerned about a faulty fence latch or keep a specific door in the house closed at all times? Anything you can think to tell me will help me provide the very best care to your beloved furry friend.
A typical day
I will play with your pets with the toys they love. Playing fetch outside or tug. For smaller dogs it typically is easier to play in the house if it’s colder outside. I love to go on long walks with dogs and allow them to smell all the scents in the neighborhood since sniffing helps stimulate their mind and tire them out a little. Snuffle mats are fantastic to stimulate a dog no matter the size for when it’s too cold or hot to outside.

Availability
Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, as my full-time job typically runs from 11:30 AM to 8 PM (8.5 hours), giving me plenty of time in the mornings for long walks, playtime, and quality care while the sun is up. I’m also comfortable walking in the dark, so evening walks are no issue—I’ll always wear reflective gear and ensure your pet has a glowing collar or light for safety. Since I don’t work weekends, I’ll have even more time to be present in your home, where your pets feel safest.
