Pet care experience
Experienced and Loving Caregiver ❤️
Hello there! My name is Anika and I used to be a pet caregiver on Rover a while ago when I was going through college, but decided to reactivate my account to come back on board! A little bit about myself... I received my Master's Degree from LSU and have been working in my career field for a few years now, but I still very much enjoy spending time with animals and thought that continuing with Rover was a great way to be able to spend time with animals while making an extra income on the side! I am currently working at a local hospital. Therefore, although I am newly back on Rover, I have been with Rover in the past. I am also a go-to foster and volunteer for several local rescue groups, so I have experience with all types of animals (mainly cats and dogs) and welcome all. I also often help train dogs for animal rescue organizations to get them ready for their new loving forever homes. I have also grown up with animals my whole life and my sweet beloved senior dog recently passed away; my "soul dog" as some may say. I had him for a little over 13 amazing years. However, being able to work with and volunteer with animals has really been great, which is why I definitely wanted to continue with Rover again. You can rest assure that when you leave your beloved fur babies with me that they are in great hands. I am a safe and responsible person. I am and always have been an all-around animal-lover. If your dog is a couch potato, that's fine... we can curl up and watch a movie on the couch together with some belly rubs! If your dog is more high-energy, that's fine... we can go for walks, jogs, play fetch in the yard, play with toys and more! The same goes for cats, bunnies and other types of animals; I can meet the pet client where they are at based on their personality. I have over 20 years of experience with animals from both personal and professional experience. I have experience with all types of animals of all ages ranges (from young to senior), sizes and breeds. Thank you for considering or choosing me and I hope you have a peaceful and restful 2026!

Anika did a fantastic job housesitting for us (2 dogs & 1 cat). Great communication and updates. Lots of pictures. Would highly recommend.
Anika Ellis is truly an animal lover. I would recommend her to any and everyone for she has truly shown compassion and love to all living things. Truly a kind soul who is very protective,kind, and on time. Safety is the number one key and she makes sure that it’s safe and a fun environment. I think she is more than capable of handling the job. It’s as if it was meant just for her.
