Pet care experience

Big dogs, little dogs, and cats too

Hi! We’re the Emerson family, and caring for animals is something we truly love. We have experience with cat and dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds and we treat every pet like part of our family. We’re reliable, attentive, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. We also have two boys (14 and 11) who absolutely love animals and enjoy helping with playtime and giving pets extra attention. They’re gentle, respectful, and comfortable with animals of all kinds. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or just keeping your pet company, we’re here to give them lots of love and care!

I'm new to using Rover and at first I was a bit nervous. Justin and his family put all of those worries to rest. They have done an amazing job taking care of my little dog.

The sweetest family! They were so kind and willing to work with me last minute when I unexpectedly needed to go out of town for the night. You can genuinely tell how much they love what they do and how much they care for the animals they watch. I felt completely comfortable leaving both my dog and kitten with them and knew they were in great hands. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again!

I am so grateful for Justin and his family for taking care of my cats on short notice! He was so kind and patient with both them and me (I'm kind of a worrier 🙃). He sent pictures and updates often, even of my neighbor's cat who thinks my house is his house too. 😂 I definitely recommend Justin to anyone in need of a pet-sitter!!!

Dog Walking • Sep 04, 2026

Justin has been wonderful in walking my 2 large dogs. They would sit at the door and wait when they knew he was coming. He was very thorough, friendly and polite. I would highly recommend him.

Justin and his family are amazing. Had some naughty puppies get into cookies right before leaving the country. Needed someone last minute to not just drop in, but take them to the vet and handle more blood tests. They jumped right in and I’m so grateful for them.
