Life long animal lover!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a household that always had at least 4 animals at any given time - dogs, cats, fish, turtles, hamsters, you name it! I am a natural animal lover and will love your pet just as much as my own:) I am also a humane rescue alliance volunteer so I have lots of experience with all types of animals!

This is our second time using Emma and again she was amazing! Both times she has watched Gunther and Mila they have been extremely happy and don’t seem to miss us at all. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Emma!

Emma did a wonderful job caring for our two cats, Rio and Lulu. She handled all the basics with great attention—feeding them on schedule, keeping their litter boxes clean, and making time to play with them each day. It was clear from the start that she takes her role seriously and treats pets with genuine care. What truly set Emma apart was how much she went above and beyond. She sent us daily photos and videos, along with thoughtful written updates about the visits, and about how Rio and Lulu were doing. These reports gave us such peace of mind while we were away, and it was a joy to see our cats looking happy and comfortable under her care. We also felt completely at ease entrusting Emma with the keys to our home for over a week. She was professional and reliable. We highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will definitely be hiring her again in the future.

Emma was incredible! From the moment she met my cats, they adored her. She kept me updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Emma handled everything perfectly — from administering my cat’s medication to making sure they had both their wet and dry food. Honestly, I think my cats were a little disappointed when I walked through the door instead of Emma! As someone who’s also been a Rover sitter, I can confidently say Emma is outstanding, and I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies.
