Safety, trust & environment

I make sure they are well fed and played with a lot so they get their exercise. I especially make sure we watch TV together!

Information Emma T. would like to know about your pet

I love doing a meet and greet so I can see how they are with their owner present. I like learning their routine and trying to keep that the same as much as possible.

A typical day

I love taking them to a park to play and going on walks. Just love taking them on walks in general. They get exercise. I get exercise.

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for about 5 years now and I have 10+ years of vet experience. I have always loved house sitting for pet owners while they are away. I do work full time at a veterinary office. I make time on my lunch break to take care of them in the middle of the day. I make sure they have plenty of play time. I love to meet with the owner before hand so I can meet the pet while they're human is home in a safe environment. This way I can see the routine the pet has.

Emma was fantastic! Our dogs really enjoyed meeting her before our trip and she sent us pictures of the dogs while we were gone! She was so respectful of our house and the dogs were always so happy in the photo. Loved having her take care of our pack while we were gone.

Emma is the most dependable sitter we have had. She’s flexible and understanding. She’s the only sitter we would pick

Emma was great with my cat and dog! She took the time to get to know them before she watched them, which made them and me more comfortable while I was away. Both my cat and my dog warmed up to her pretty quickly! I really appreciated the video and picture updates she sent throughout my trip, and she was great about cleaning up before she left. I would highly recommend Emma to watch your pets!

Emma showed up for us with short notice on a holiday weekend after 3 other Rover sitters no showed or canceled. She was attentive. Sent lots of photos. And our puppies were relaxed and well loved when we got home. So grateful to Emma!

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.
