Pet care experience

Biologist and lifelong animal fan

I became a biology professor because I have always loved animals of all kinds. My schedule includes lots of “work from home” time, and I truly enjoy supporting clients and their pets with compassionate and enthusiastic pet care. My home has a fenced yard along the river - it’s perfect for supervised playtime with dogs that are accustomed to being off leash in secure areas. Couch potatoes are also welcome, and can be kept on leash for our walks in my quiet/low-traffic neighborhood. In addition to dogs of all kinds and personalities, I have also cared for many cats, birds, and bunnies in clients’ homes. I really enjoy learning their personalities and helping clients know their bffs are safe and well cared for.

I was anxious to leave Buster for our trip but Eben provided so much relief with outstanding care for our pup and wonderful communication. We had so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands!

Eben took care of our dog, Max, for a week and we received regular, detailed updates while we were away. Eben was very patient with Max, gave him 1:1 attention and took the time to really understand him. Highly recommend Eben!

Schedule

I work self-set hours outside the academic year (i.e. during summer, spring, and winter breaks). During the semester I have college teaching duties about 20yrs/week; the days and times change each term but I’m usually free for early morning, late afternoon, or night time visits walks or caregiving in my home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard on the waterfront in wilton manors. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds and bunnies in clients’ homes. Your animal is more than a chore for me- I try to learn to read their needs, keep them happy/comfortable/safe and help them get through missing you with treats pets, kindness, excercise, or whatever they need (per your guidelines).

A typical day

If dogs can be left supervised off leash, then we will definitely make the rounds in my backyard. Lots and lots of things to see and sniff amongst the many trees and waterfront dock. Otherwise we will enjoy some Netflix and chill time- but I get to pick the show :). For drop ins, we’ll do whatever you and your pets need and want.

My home has a natural shoreline on the riverbank. I need to know if your pet is inclined to scramble around the fence there and into neighbors’ yards. No pet will ever be outdoors without supervision- but if you have an escape artist as your companion I will need to keep them leashed when exploring the yard.
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.
