Pet care experience

LSU PhD Student who loves animals!

Hi everyone! Thank you for considering me to take care of your beloved furry friend! I lived in Pittsburgh for the past four years where I worked for Rover, caring for both cats and dogs, and have recently moved to Baton Rouge to start graduate school at LSU! Prior to moving to Pittsburgh, I grew up in Minnesota with two dogs (border collie mixes) and three cats. I played a big part in their training as I got older. I wasn’t able to have a pet of my own in Pittsburgh so I started working for Rover so I could fill that void in my life, and I’ve absolutely loved it! I can't wait to meet your fur babies and take excellent care of them. I'm a reliable, responsive, and considerate animal caretaker and I always try my best to ensure you and your pet(s) are comfortable and happy while you’re away! I love cats and dogs of all kinds and I am experienced in managing pets with different temperaments and behaviors. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Emma did a great job, as always! Our cats seem unimpressed that we're back home :-)

I would love to know if your pets have any unique quirks (i.e. does not like paws being touched) and if there is anything I can do to ensure you and your animals are comfortable with me providing care for them!
