Pet-focused Care

Pet care experience

Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 10 years, I’ve provided reliable dog walking and pet sitting services, with extensive experience caring for senior dogs and those with specialized medical needs. My background in the dog food industry has given me a strong understanding of canine nutrition and the importance of meeting each dog’s individual needs. I am deeply committed to providing attentive, well-rounded care—ensuring dogs receive proper exercise, mental stimulation, and support for their overall health, including skin and coat care. I have primarily cared for senior dogs, many from challenging or traumatic backgrounds. This has equipped me with experience handling reactive dogs, as well as those who are deaf, blind, or have varying energy levels. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and an understanding of their unique personality and

Emma house & dog sat for us while we were gone on a weekend trip. She did a great job updating us with pictures and communicated with us quickly. She kept our home in great condition and loved on our dogs as I would love on my own. Will definitely be rebooking! :)

My job deploys me to many areas, ranging from a week at a time to months. I’m thankful I get to bring my pup with me during these deployments. So finding a trustworthy dog walker was a priority and I hit the jackpot with Ms. Emma. She is incredibly dependable and has made my dog so much happier. Emma is professional, communicative, and simply wonderful and I can tell my pup Jazzy loves her! 10/10 recommend!

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.
