Pet care experience

A friend for your fur babies

I love dogs, and I've been around them since I was born (my "older brother" was a German Shepherd mix). I've fed, walked, played with, and bathed the family dogs since I was little, so it’s hard to quantify my years of experience, but I’ve been on Rover for 3 years. When I’m not spending time with my parents’ dogs, Blue and Koda, it would be awesome to spend time with your pup and bring some joy to you and your pet’s day. I’ve had dozens of clients, mostly from my time in school at IU and grad school in Virginia, and they each enjoyed having me look after their pets. Many have asked me to watch or walk them again. I’ve watched big and small dogs, old and young, lazy and energetic, and I take special care of pets with anxiety. While I'm not as passionate about cats, I think they're pretty cool and I don't think I've ever met one that didn't like me! I love playing with younger kitties and taking naps with older cats, and I helped my grandma take care of a stray kitty named Wesley, who was recently adopted :)

Safety, trust & environment

While you’re away, I try to keep your pet(s) on their regular schedule when it comes to things such as waking up, eating, treats, playtime, walks, potty, and bedtime. When I take your pet out on a potty break, I don't just take them out for a minute to do their business. I make sure to play with them and give them lots of pets, because I know how much they need some attention when their human is away. When it comes to house sitting, I’ll happily complete daily tasks as requested, such as watering plants, taking out trash/recycling, and taking in the mail/packages.

Emma was quick to respond, easy to schedule with, and took great care of my kitties! Additionally, she followed up with updates and pictures throughout the week and treated my space with respect. Would absolutely have her cat sit/house sit again 😊❤️

2nd time using Emma for an extended 10+ day overnight stay with our cat and dog. She’s absolutely worth it!

Emma stayed at our place for a week while we were out of the country. She was super patient with our nervous dog and chatty kitty. She watered plants, ran dishwasher and washed sheets and towels before leaving. Great daily communication, pics and professionalisms. Very happy with Emma and Rover and will definitely use her again.

I work full-time, in-office at an ad agency in North Loop, but I always make time for the animals I’m watching. Out of office, I’m a homebody so on nights and weekends they’ll get all the attention.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Is your pet on a special diet? Are there activities to avoid because of a health issue? Are they an escape artist? How do they react to other dogs and people? Do they listen to commands or are they a free spirit? Every dog has their quirks!
These prices are for 1 dog.
