Right now, I coach soccer in the evenings during the week and sometimes on weekends, usually for a couple of hours. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible. I’m generally available in the mornings, afternoons, and often evenings for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. My coaching hours are not long, so I’m able to work around pet care easily and adjust my schedule when needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I take care of pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I make sure they’re well looked after with things like feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and giving medication if needed. I also keep things clean and stick to their usual routine as much as possible. I always spend time with the pets too, whether that’s playing with them or just keeping them company so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for the whole time.

Information Ebony L. would like to know about your pet

I always like to learn as much as I can about each pet beforehand so I can give them the best care possible. Things like their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical requirements are really important. It’s also helpful to know their personality, whether they’re more energetic or relaxed, if they’re nervous around anything, or how they are with other dogs and people. I also like to know their likes and dislikes so I can make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. The more I know in advance, the easier it is to keep things consistent for them and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day really depends on the pet and their routine, but I like to keep things as close to normal as possible for them. For dogs, that usually includes walks, playtime, and just being active, whether that’s a game of fetch, some light training, or even just exploring new smells on a walk. I’m quite active myself, so I enjoy getting outside and making sure dogs get both physical exercise and some mental stimulation too. For more relaxed pets, I’m just as happy to slow things down, spending time keeping them company, giving them attention, or just letting them chill and feel comfortable. I always try to match the pet’s energy and personality, so whether they’re playful and energetic or more calm and cuddly, they get the kind of care and attention that suits them best.

Thoughtful Care for Every Dog

Pet care experience

While I’m new to Rover, I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always been a big dog lover. In 2022, my family got our dog Roxi, who is like my best friend. With Roxi, I’ve been fully involved in everything, walking her, feeding her, training her, and making sure she stays active and happy. I’ve also grown up helping to look after family dogs when relatives go away, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I’m originally from Ireland and recently moved to Florida after completing my MBA at Marshall University in West Virginia. I now coach youth soccer, so I’m very active, responsible, and used to being around people (and animals) all the time. Moving to the U.S. has been a big change for me, and being away from my family and my own dog has definitely made me miss them a lot, and it’s made me appreciate even more how much I love being around dogs every day. I’d say I’m quite laid-back, reliable, and easy to get along with. I like being outdoors, staying active, and I’m always up for a walk or keeping a dog company rather than just sitting around. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and routines, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I know how much dogs mean to their owners because mine means everything to me, so I always treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to send updates and photos as well, so owners feel completely comfortable while they’re away.

Ebony has been a life saver for my family and I! My dogs are getting old and cannot be left home alone for extended period of time without some love and a potty break. She comes to my house every day that I work and does just that. My dogs get excited and meet her at the door, knowing that they are going to get some attention and a well deserved walk around the block. She has even brought over another 4 legged friend for my pups to enjoy some time with! She is very trustworthy, respects your home and your animals, and I cannot recommend her enough.

Ebony is great with dogs. She’s calm, caring, and really attentive to their needs. She makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I’d trust her with any animal and highly recommend her.

Ebony is very reliable and absolutely great with dogs. She is easy to trust and I would happily leave my dog in her care again.

Ebony is incredibly reliable and caring with animals. She’s grown up around dogs and is very comfortable handling all types, including high-energy ones. She’s patient, attentive, and always makes sure pets are safe, exercised, and happy. I would trust her completely to look after my pet and know they’re in great hands.
