Information Emma S. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable working with all breeds of dogs with special needs or abilities, and would just like to know what extra care I can provide for them ahead of time. It’s also useful to know how they may respond to other dogs or animals while walking or at home, and if they have any reactions to things like loud noises or other stimuli.

A typical day

I have plenty of toys at home that I can provide to play with, and love playing with dogs and cats to see their personalities shine. I also love being out in nature. The Dayton area has some wonderful parks and preserves for long walk, and my current favorites are Bill Yeck Park and Oakes Quarry. At home, I take daily walks around the neighborhood with my dog and we love to explore new routes each time, both in residential areas and on the nearby bike path.

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. From routinely cat-sitting for neighbors starting at the age of 8, to volunteering at an animal rescue in high school, and recently working at a local vet as an assistant and administrative assistant, animals have always been my kindred spirits. I love meeting new furry friends and have always felt a close connection to them.

Thank you so much Emma for taking so much loving care of Baxter and Birdie! So grateful to know you were here for them, they looked so happy in every moment captured! I think now that we are back, there are certain times of the day I see them looking for you to come play ☺️ thanks again!

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.
