Pet care experience
Walks, Wags & Cuddles 🐾
I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. My mum bred chocolate Labradors for several years, so our home was always full of dogs, puppies, walks and plenty of muddy paws! Up until a few years ago, I also had spaniels of my own, and I really miss having that four-legged presence around the house — which is a big part of why I decided to join Rover. 🐾 I’ve continued to spend lots of time around dogs since, regularly walking and helping care for dogs belonging to friends and family. That’s included my dad’s Red Fox Labrador as well as a friend’s Mastiff and Staffy, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds and energy levels. I genuinely love being outdoors and walking, so whether your dog loves long energetic adventures, sniff-filled strolls or a slower wander, I’m very happy to match their pace, personality and usual routine. 🏠 I work from home, so dogs staying with me will have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I can give them regular attention, playtime and toilet breaks, with walks fitted around the routine they’re used to. I also previously worked within the animal health industry, so while I’m not a veterinary professional, I’ve spent time around animals and have a good understanding of the importance of behaviour, routine and creating an environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog as I would my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with somebody else, so I’m happy to follow all their usual routines and quirks — and you can expect plenty of photos and updates along the way. My aim is for your dog to feel like they’ve had a little home-from-home holiday of their own. 🐶🏠 A few things about me: 🏠 Work from home so can provide 1-1 attention to your dog(s). 🐾 Lifelong dog lover (Chocolate Labs raised me, Spaniels stole my heart later. 🌳 I love long countryside walks and being outdoors, and have access to a vehicle. 📸 Expect lots of photo/video updates during walks or visits. ❤️ Happy with cuddles, playtime, enrichment games or a relaxed companion for older dogs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I know every dog has their own personality, routine and little quirks, so I’ll always take the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy and settled. Dogs staying with me will have plenty of company while I work from home, with regular attention, toilet breaks and walks tailored to their usual routine. 🏠🐾 I have a fully enclosed private garden with 6ft fencing, giving dogs a secure outdoor space for fresh air, play and toilet breaks. I also have a quiet, comfortable space downstairs where they can relax and make themselves at home. For overnight stays, dogs will need to be comfortable and familiar with a crate, as this is where they’ll sleep and stay if I occasionally need to pop out. Outside of that, they’ll be free to relax with me and enjoy the house and garden as part of their stay. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking and care routine as closely as possible, and I’ll treat both their home and their pet with the same care and respect I’d expect myself. Safety is really important to me, so I won’t let dogs off-lead or take unnecessary risks around other dogs without an owner’s agreement. And you can expect plenty of photos and updates along the way, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and in safe hands.
Ratings and reviews
Emma has walked my two dogs (brother and sister — not always an easy pair!) several times now when we've been away for the day. She came round first to meet them, and her calm manner put them at ease straight away. They absolutely love her and get excited whenever she comes to pick them up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for dog walking or house sitting — she has such a lovely way about her. I'll definitely keep using her.

Schedule
I work from home and have a flexible routine, so pet care fits really naturally into my day. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the day, as well as pet sitting, and can usually adapt around your dog’s existing schedule. I already love getting out for walks, so having a four-legged companion makes them even better! Dogs staying with me will also have plenty of company, attention and regular breaks throughout the day. 🐾
