Pet care experience

Reliable , Personalized pet care

Busy schedules, travel, and last-minute changes should not mean compromising your pet’s care. I provide reliable, personalized care for dogs and cats while following each pet’s normal routine, household instructions, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and medication plan. I have 11 years of pet-care experience and work with puppies, adult pets, senior animals, multi-pet households, and pets with special care needs. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, playtime, feeding, oral medication administration, and detailed photo and message updates. My goal is to make your time away as calm as possible for both you and your pet. I take time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, comfort needs, triggers, and preferred routine so that their care feels familiar and consistent. Clients value my communication, flexibility, attention to instructions, and willingness to provide individualized care. I have Star Sitter status, a 5-star rating, repeat clients, a 100% response rate, and photo updates on every booking. I am especially interested in building long-term relationships with pet parents who want a dependable sitter they can call for travel, long workdays, changing schedules, or recurring care.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety begins with understanding your pet’s normal routine, behavior, health needs, and environment. Before care begins, I review feeding instructions, medication needs, walking equipment, household rules, emergency contacts, veterinary information, triggers, escape risks, and any behaviors I should watch for. I follow owner instructions closely and avoid introducing unfamiliar foods, products, activities, or interactions without permission. During walks and visits, I monitor your pet’s energy, comfort, breathing, mobility, appetite, bathroom habits, and behavior. I can administer oral medications, including pills hidden in food or given directly when the pet safely accepts that method. I do not provide injections or make independent medical decisions. For house sitting, I also respect the home, maintain the pet’s normal environment, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates so owners know how their pets and home are doing. Additional care may be available by request, including extended visits, transportation support for routine veterinary appointments, and owner-approved basic bath care. Availability depends on the pet’s needs, transportation requirements, safety, and the booking arrangement. I can transport your pet, relay pre-approved owner instructions, provide updates, and communicate information from the veterinary team back to the owner.

Elaina was fantastic! Our pets always look forward to her stays. She is good with sending updates and making sure both our cat and dog get the attention and love they need.

Elaina took great care of Olive and Limu while we were out of town for a long weekend. She kept us updated including photos and followed all of our instructions! She left our place cleaner than when she got there and clearly seems to love Olive and Limu almost as much as we do ❤️

We had a wonderful experience with Elaina house/dogsitting. She is so caring and gentle with our elderly dog. Our apartment was just as we left it if not better.

Drop-In Visits • Jan 03, 2026

Elaina was great! She was more than happy to watch my (3) medium-large dogs. She provided updates every time she visited and made sure to let me know if there were any issues. The dogs were walked, fed, and Elaina made sure to give each one love even just for a short time every day and made me feel at ease while I was off-island during the holidays.

Schedule

I am available for weekend care, overnight house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks. I may also be able to accommodate weekday or same-day needs depending on my existing bookings and travel distance. I understand that work schedules, flights, appointments, and family plans can change. I try to be flexible whenever possible. Repeated or significant last-minute changes may require an adjustment based on availability, travel time, or the total care requested. Advance booking is recommended for holidays, extended trips, and overnight stays.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Elaina can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Before the booking, please tell me about your pet’s: • Feeding and bathroom routine • Walking habits and usual route • Medications or health concerns • Energy level and exercise needs • Triggers, fears, anxiety, or reactivity • Behavior around dogs, cats, children, and strangers • History of escaping, pulling, guarding, biting, or resource protection • Favorite toys, games, treats, and comfort items • Sleeping habits and household rules • Veterinary and emergency contact information I also want to know what a normal day looks like for your pet and what helps them feel safest when you are away. The more detailed the instructions, the more closely I can maintain their usual routine.
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.
