Availability

As an online student, I enjoy wonderful day-to-day flexibility, which means I can bring my coursework with me and easily adapt my schedule to your pet’s needs. On days when I don’t have outside commitments, I’m available to provide attentive, loving care, spending most or even all of the day keeping your pets company and making sure they feel happy and relaxed. My regular commitment is part-time babysitting for my family, so I’m away every Wednesday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM (and starting in late August 2026, this will include the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month). If you’re comfortable with this daytime gap, I make sure to provide extra care and attention both right before I leave and as soon as I return, along with dedicated overnight stays to keep your home and pets feeling secure and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is my top priority. To ensure a safe environment and comply with local leash laws, I follow clear and careful yard and walk guidelines based on your home’s setup: * If you have a fenced yard, I’m happy to use it for supervised playtime and potty breaks, so your pets can enjoy some safe, relaxed time outdoors. * If your yard isn’t fenced or uses an invisible fence, I won’t let pets roam free. Instead, I’ll make sure your dogs get all their walks and potty breaks on a handheld leash, so you can feel confident they’re always safe and secure. For your pet’s daily routine, I’m happy to take your dogs on walks whenever they need them, and I’m comfortable crating them if that’s part of their routine. I also love caring for cats. Cleaning litter pans, providing fresh water and food every day, enjoying interactive play, and making sure their favorite routines and cozy hiding spots are respected. For their safety, all cats, whether they usually go outdoors or not, will be kept inside while I’m caring for them, just to make sure they stay safe and sound.

Information Emma F. would like to know about your pet

To give your pets the very best care, I’ll just need a quick overview of their medical and behavioral history at our Meet & Greet. Please share: * Are all core vaccinations completely up-to-date? * Do they require any daily medications? * Do they have active medical conditions I should monitor? * Do they exhibit any food aggression or resource guarding with treats, bowls, or toys? * Are they naturally shy, fearful, or intimidated by meeting strangers or neighborhood/nature noises?

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pets happy, active, and loved. We’ll enjoy walks around the neighborhood or visits to local parks to keep your dogs engaged and healthy. I balance playtime with plenty of cozy downtime, making sure your pets get all the belly rubs, snuggles, and companionship they need to feel safe and right at home.

Experienced Animal Care Giver

Pet care experience

I have been a lifelong dog owner, and for over ten years, I’ve had the pleasure of working at various dog care facilities. I also have hands-on experience caring for a variety of other pets, including cats, lizards, and small rodents. Along with making sure your pets are well cared for and safe, I truly enjoy giving them plenty of affection and attention. My background includes raising and caring for dogs from newborn puppies onward. While my pet first aid and CPR certification has lapsed, I remain very knowledgeable in both areas. I have a strong understanding of different dog breeds, behaviors, and personalities, as well as care for cats and exotic pets. I’m happy to provide pet-sitting services and can share references if you’d like. While working at dog daycare facilities, I served as a shift supervisor, ensuring all dogs received excellent care from every staff member, including myself. As a supervisor, I was also trusted to administer medications (except injections) as needed.

Emma is the best! I have such peace of mind when she’s taking care of my boys while I’m away. She follows all of their care instructions carefully, and gives them lots of love. Thank you so much, Emma!

We are so impressed with Emma’s care and attention to our dogs for a night away. She was flexible when our plans changed last minute and gave us peace of mind with updates throughout the day. An amazing first experience on Rover!

Emma was very responsible, sent photos of my dog on walks and in my home. She arrived on time. I would definitely use her again.
