Safety, trust & environment

I offer services in your home. I am very cautious to check food, water and safety of your pets as well as lock and secure your home before I leave! I treat all animals as if they are my own, my cats are my babies!

Information Emma R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs. I am used to taking care of animals with special needs or in their older age. My family fosters dogs and cats of all different types and ages.

A typical day

I can take your dog anywhere that you prefer! A walk around the block or to a dog park or the Marina green. My own cats really enjoy playing fetch and I can provide toys if needed! I’m used to all types of personalities in dogs and cats and respect if they prefer their space or want to play! Sometimes it’s comforting for them just to know someone is checking in on them.

Pets

PhD student and animal lover

Pet care experience

Work from home phd student with affordable pricing! I love my pets and will treat yours like my own. I’m very conscious of pet and home safety. Many owners and I are flexible with times and if something looks blocked on my calendar, feel free to ask, it might be available! My family and I are huge animal lovers and have fostered dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 7 cats and 2 dogs and now have 2 cats of my own. I volunteered in high school as a dog walker and currently dog walk for 2 German Shepards. I am open to pet sitting/dog walking/ and drop ins for all types of cats and dogs! If you don’t see a time that’s available, it’s likely that I have drop in visits for parents that are flexible with timing, feel free to book any time and we can try to schedule something!

Emma is incredible! She watched our cats while we were gone for the holidays and I felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be hiring Emma again in the future!

Emma is the sweetest. She takes care of the cats as if they are her cats. She played with them and cuddled them too. Cannot think of anyone better to take care of my cats.

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.
