Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog's new next best friend!
New to Rover but not new to caring for animals! I grew up on a farm with lots of animals - dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, chickens, pigs... I've also informally pet sat for friends and neighbors with dogs and/or cats in the past. I've been a cat mom in the past, but I don't have a pet of my own right now. However, I would love to have a buddy come hang out with me while I work from home full time. My house is quiet and cozy and I have plenty of time to provide attention and affection!

Emma is an excellent caretaker and will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is comfortable. I've left several dogs throughout the years in her care and they always have a good time. 10/10 would recommend her!

Schedule
I work from home full time at a desk job - if my day is "busy" it just means I had a few more zoom calls than usual. I would absolutely be able to take time to provide potty breaks and maybe a walk around the neighborhood when the weather is good. I live on a main street in town, but there's also a nice quiet neighborhood right behind me with minimal traffic, perfect for a quick walk. I do travel three or four times a year for my job, generally for 3-5 days each time, but I'd be able to give you at least a couple of months advanced notice for those trips - they are never last minute!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I don't smoke and I have plenty of space for your pup to hang out during the day so they don't feel cooped up - including a wrap around enclosed porch that I can keep secure, and a tall privacy-fenced back yard/garden area. While the yard is fenced, I do get birds and other critters roaming through, and I have a flower garden that could have some toxic plants for over-curious dogs. Because of that, I would not to leave them alone outside, but take those breaks with them. My house does have a fairly steep flight of stairs, so a dog without joint pain or struggles going up and down multiple times a day would be most comfortable. I do have lots of houseplants and some could be toxic - so again, if your dog tends to be curious and take a bite out of plants, I may not be the best fit!
A typical day
While I'm working, your dog can be with me in my office if they want company, or they can roam the house playing with any toys, napping, etc. I can take a few breaks a day to bring them outside, for a short walk, or play with them! I love giving belly rubs and ear scratches, a classic game of fetch, or a good tug of war with a toy. I'd love taking them out for walks when I'm able to take a work break and the weather isn't too rough. The yard provides a good opportunity to burn off some steam when that's not possible.

- I think a fairly chill dog would be happiest at my house for doggy day care so that they can just hang out while I'm working and not feel cooped up. I have provided help with administering medications while pet sitting in the past, and have cared for more senior dogs before as well. If your dog has any special needs, just let me know!
