The Mary Poppins of petsitters!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Emma and I adore all animals; most of all dogs! I have been pet sitting for 10 years, for puppies and cats of all sizes and ages. My approach to petsitting is lots of cuddles, treats (in moderation of course!) and lots of play time. We listen to music, and I sing them to sleep. My family back home has a very anxious little puppy, so I know how to create a calm and loving atmosphere for even the most anxious of animals. My yard is fenced in and high, so they can play all day in the sun if they want. I live in the heart of downtown Fredericksburg, so local pups can get a scenic walk in a cute little town. I look forward to meeting you and your special buddies!

Emma was great. This was my first time using Rover and writing a review. I am not that tech savvy and I needed to find someone in a short amount of time to take care of my dog while I went out of town. I was definitely worried since this was the first time my dog would stay with anyone besides a family member. My fears were eased when I met Emma with my dog for meet and greet. She happily answered any questions I had and was a very nice person. Emma sent me texts while I was away to let me know how things were going with my dog. She took good care of him and I am relieved to know that she would be available if I need to board my dog in the future.

Emma is amazing! I dropped our pup off a day earlier than planned and she took him right in! She made me feel very comfortable leaving him on such short notice! I will definitely use her again!!

I have known Emma over a decade, and throughout the time that I have known her, I would say that her biggest strength is her empathy towards both people and animals. She has had extensive experience in the service and caretaking industry. For example, she has worked as a waitress to a nanny. She knows how to serve families and take their needs into accounts. This will serve as a great asset as she works with people and their dogs and adjusts her caretaking to fit each pet parent's and pet's needs. Further, she has always loved dogs from a young age. She rescued a young terrier and worked so well with his anxiety. She builds rapport with the dogs she interacts with quickly, and you can tell that they really trust her and love to spend time with her and her cuddles. Finally, I have a goldendoodle who I am very wary of leaving with just anyone. He is a high energy pup and you really need to love dogs and have patience with him. My pup did wonderfully when Emma took care of him for some time when I was travelling. He came back tired out and she had no issues following the directions I provided. I trust Emma with my precious pup and dogs do too!!
