About Emma S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Unfortunately my cat is quite skittish and I'm not comfortable with letting another animal in my house while he is there. My backyard is good for running around and I'm willing to have your dog have playtime there, although they wouldn't be allowed inside. However, I wouldn't leave your dog unsupervised in my backyard or otherwise! As for checking in with your pet, I'm very much willing to spend long periods of time with your pet at your house and can do other various chores while visiting, particularly if I'm house-sitting.
Information Emma S. would like to know about your pet
While I do have lots of experience with very young animals that are not house-trained, please warn me ahead of time if your pet requires floor pads, a diaper, etc. Additionally, please warn me if your pet has bad behaviors regarding begging for walks (i.e. barking/meowing until they are walked, tearing apart the house, or wanting walks outside of their schedule).
A typical day
I'll take them to local parks, cuddle, play with all of their toys, or whatever else they love to do! I usually bring my own laser pointer; surprisingly, many dogs also love to play with it as well as cats. I can also bring treats if you tell me what allergies your pet has. If your pet is happy, I'm happy!

Pet care experience
Please keep in mind that Rover takes a 20% cut of what we make! :) I've spent over twelve years taking care of dogs, cats, lizards, and fish, with countless days of walks and house-sitting accumulated in the process! I have plenty of experience taking care of younger and older animals alike and love spending time with them. Giving animals better lives, even in small ways, is one of my lifelong goals. Seeing any animal happy makes me happy, too! I do not accept animals with severe separation anxiety and/or that have behaviors such as continuous whining, barking, clawing me, and/or having regular bathroom accidents indoors. While I do accept house stays for longer than one week, the maximum number of days I will stay is ten.

Reviews
Emma did a great job looking after our cat and bearded dragon! I appreciated her updates and coming home to two happy pets!
I went abroad for a couple weeks and was looking for someone dependable and good with my two cats — and Emma was terrific! I enjoyed reading her detailed updates and felt like my cats were in very good hands. She was very communicative and responsive, and even took the time to tidy up the place. I would definitely use her again.
emma was the best binks loved her she did much more than just feed him even cleaned the litter would highly recommend her to anyone
Emma is a thoughtful, committed and patient dog walker. She communicates with me about each walk and provides detailed information about my dog’s demeanor and activity during it. She’s also good at enforcing our rules and disciplining our dog when he barks too much.
