1 star. Emma parked at the top of my driveway directly near my dog’s fenced area before I had the opportunity to come outside and introduce my dog. Within less than 30 seconds of barking, before I could even get out the door to see what was going on, she had already approached the fence area and then later came up to me visibly upset claiming that my dog had nipped her hand. This was after she walked up and shook my hand… Dogs are territorial animals by nature, especially on their own property and inside fenced areas. An experienced dog sitter should understand not to place their hands near, through, or over a fence before the owner has properly introduced the dog. What made the situation worse was the communication afterward. Rather than handling the situation calmly and collaboratively, the interaction quickly turned into demands and threats involving animal control. The overall communication demonstrated a lack of empathy and professionalism, especially from someone advertising themselves as an animal lover and experienced pet sitter. For anyone considering hiring this sitter, I would strongly recommend making sure introductions are handled carefully and that proper boundaries around fenced dogs are respected.

She was great with Comet!!! Would use her again in a minute

Emma did a fantastic job caring for our two older cats. She did everything we asked, left the areas where the care was provided clean, and we were grateful for the check-in pictures and updates. We were relieved to know that we can go away and not have to worry about our furry family members. We definitely recommend her services, and would have no reservations of using her in the future.

Emma was great. She provided photos and details of her visit, and Leo had a great time with her.

Very flexible and easy to work with! Love the pictures she provided during her check in, made us feel at ease!

EmmaR was a great pet sitter!! She took great care of our dogs and had them running and playing and cozying up to her, inside and out!! She did great with all instructions and did well with our dogs and family! Thanks so much EmmaR. (This was the second review I wrote, not sure if the first one went through). (Rover doesn’t have the most user friendly website). EmmaR was great though!!!
