Availability
I work on a hybrid schedule close to home, which means I have the flexibility to check in on pets throughout the day. I usually take dogs out in the morning, around lunchtime when I return to my apartment to eat lunch (around 12 pm), after 5 pm after returning from work, and once more before bedtime. On days I stay at home working, i am free all day to walk the dogs or play with them for however much time they want/need. On weekends, I like to be outside and go on a walk, makes it even better do go on a walk with a dog! This routine allows me to provide consistent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship for your pup.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a one–bedroom apartment that’s not too big or too small—just the right size for your dog to feel cozy and comfortable. Since I do have rugs and carpets, it’s very important that your doggy is potty trained before staying with me. If your dog needs more space to run or extra exercise, I’m less than a 4-minute walk from Rittenhouse Park, where we can go as often as needed for playtime, walks, and fresh air. I provide a calm and safe environment without strict or stressful rules, so your dog will always feel cared for and secure.

Information Emma R. would like to know about your pet
Extremelly important that your dog: - Is potty trained or has the least amount of accidents since I have carpets. - Is not agressive at all towards humans, wouldn’t want to have an incident. - Does not have ticks or anything health related that can be passsed on to other humans or dogs since I don’t want to be held responsible or compromise my own health. Thanks!❤️
A typical day
A typical day with your dog would include lots of love, playtime, and attention. I enjoy keeping dogs both physically active and mentally stimulated through games and interactive time. I’ll take them on walks as often as needed (up to four times a day), around the neighborhood and to Rittenhouse Park so they can explore new smells and enjoy the outdoors. I also love cuddling and spending quality time with them, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and never alone. My goal is to follow their routine as closely as possible while keeping them happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day.

Trusted & Attentive Dog Sitter
Pet care experience
I’ve been around dogs my entire life—since I was a year old, my family always had dogs, and I personally raised and cared for three of my own from puppyhood through their senior years. They slept with me, sat with me and walked with me everywhere. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets as well. I’ve also gained hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments through volunteering with different shelters and fostering multiple dogs. I’m attentive to dogs’ signals, patient with puppies, and gentle with seniors, making sure each pet feels safe, understood, and loved.

Reviews
Emma was absolutely fantastic! She was amazing with our dog, great with communication and really easy for drop off and pick up. We will definitely use her again if we are in Philadelphia.
Emma was amazing! She is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She sends photos and took my dog out of the house with activities. I will definitely use her in the future!
Emma took such great care of my dog. This was my first time using Rover, and she made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, and my dog looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Emma, and I would absolutely book with her again
I’ve never left my 7/mo old german shepherd with anyone but my parents until Emma. GSDs are very unique, requiring a lot of reassurance and attention so I had been reluctant to hand her over to just any sitter. I could not be happier with the care and attention Emma gave to my pup Dela! She went above and beyond, watching her for just a day. Firstly, she was super flexible about a meet-and-greet before hand and clearly absorbed everything I shared about Dela considering how much the 2 of them enjoyed their time together. They went on several walks, played games, and even went to the beer garden that I can only bear with young Dela when I am in a good mood. Dela came back home happy as can be, ready for a good night sleep. I also really appreciated how communicative Emma was the whole day - sending pictures and asking clarifying questions when it came to my own house rules. HIGHLY recommend Emma!!
