Safety, trust & environment

While I love dogs, I understand that they often need to sniff around and get used to a new person. I take my time and pay attention to each new dog’s comfort level. I’m tidy and detail-oriented, so your home will always be left exactly as it was and I follow directions to a T.

Information Emma N. would like to know about your pet

It’s important that I know about your dog’s health status, behavior tendencies, fears, quirks, and boundaries when around other people and dogs when going outside.

A typical day

Activities I do with a dog really depend on their personality and needs. I’ve watched dogs that love to go outside and play, and I’ve also watched dogs that were too scared to go outside and needed to play with toys inside or just chill on the couch and cuddle.

Pet care experience

I work a day job from 8am-3pm on weekdays but I’m available outside of those times! I miss my childhood dog! He was a small, anxious little guy with a big personality and lots of health issues as he got older. I have experience from a young age feeding, walking, playing, and giving medicine. I’ve also been able to dog-sit for bigger dogs throughout the years, and I’m patient when gaining the trust of a new friend.

It was delightful to have Emma with us. She is conscientious and caring. I hope she will be available to be with Zina many more times in the future.

Emma was amazing with pet sitting our dog and cat! We had a bit of a stressful stomach situation with our dog (due to a kibble change before our trip) and Emma was SO understanding and helpful and communicative throughout while dealing with it! Felt really good to know our pets were in such good hands - would 100% recommend and book again!

Emma was fantastic! I literally put in a request the day before needed because my previous booked sitter cancelled at the VERY last minute. Emma was more than gracious with accepting and was the best sit for Blu! I highly recommend her for a dog sit. She provided realtime updates and Blu was very happy with her.

Emma was very flexible and helpful when she extended the visit when my travels got delayed due to weather. I appreciated her flexibility and communication so much!

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.
