Emma did a wonderful job. On one walk she had Stormy make a new friend with the little boy across the street. She handled back and forth communication about medication well.

1st. Using Rover and we were so blessed for being able to meet Emma. She made it so easy to interact and communicate thru the app. The fur babies just loved her. Emma truly has a gift for the ability to communicate with our babies. Not only was this the 1st time to use Rover / Emma. It was the first time in years we have taken time away from home without a family member staying behind to take care of the pets. I have had Bully bread dogs for over 40 years. Multiple at a time. (currently we have Stella (BullMastiff/American Bulldog mix), Jake (BullMastiff / Cane Corso), Charlie (American Pitbull), Teddy (Yorkie), and Bambi (French Bulldog puppy), oh and nots forget Olie the cat. When you have this mix of personalities, moods , jealousy it takes a special person to walk into that dynamic for the first time and pull it off. Emma thank you very much you did great. Until next time ?

We are so happy with Emma’s care of our fur baby while we went on a long vacation. It was awesome having her stay and take care of him in our home as Noslo gets very anxious away from the security of his home. He can be a handful but she took great care of him. She took him on walks and played ball with him, both of which he loves to do! She was quick to respond to any inquiries we had and sent pictures and videos. She is very trustworthy as well. We will definitely hire her again!

What their behavior is like. If they have any fears or behavioral issues I should be aware of. As well as knowing how well your dog interacts with other dogs, people and other pets.
