I will give your fur babies all the love and attention they deserve. If you’re interested, I enjoy sending pictures to owners to keep them updated and let them know that their pet is being loved and cared for!

Information Emma L. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any specific commands or cues that they respond to, let me know so I can personalize their care! I’m here for the animals, so any weird quirks or behaviors, I’m happy to accommodate. :)

A typical day

You can trust that your animal will receive an abundance of pets. If you provide a leash, I will absolutely take your dogs on walks, and if they have toys I will happily sit on the floor and play with them.

Avid Animal Lover & Pet Enthusiast

Pet care experience

I've been an avid animal lover my whole life and started pet sitting as soon as I was old enough. I've watched dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and bunnies, and I’d love to keep adding to the list. I have my own cat, who is now 21 years old, and one summer helped care for 9 newborn puppies, so I have experience caring for animals in all stages of life. I also have experience being around horses as I took riding lessons for years. I’m truly open to watching any kind of animal.

Emma once again was amazing. She checked in promptly with my cat and sent pics while she hung out with him. Thanks again Emma!

Emma was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and left our house better than she found it. She sent updates and pictures and was so respectful of our home. Thank you, Emma! We are new to the area and are so glad we found someone we can trust.

Emma was great, she was accommodating when I had some changes to my plans, and sent me updates about my pets. I came home to a very happy pup and kit!

Emma was great! She communicated before, during and after our trip. She followed all instructions, and even our nervous pets loved her. She learned how to give our diabetic cat insulin shots. And at the end she cleaned more than we asked, so we had a nice clean home to return to. Thanks Emma!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
