Elaine was wonderful with our dog, Layla. I knew her kind demeanor would be a good fit. Elaine was prompt with responses. She took great care of Layla and sent daily updates and pictures. I would definitely book with Elaine again.

Elaine was a great sitter for our two dogs. She sent pics and updates everyday. Will definitely have Elaine watch our dogs again as we felt they were in good hands with someone who truly cared about them.

Elaine was gracious to take our Sully on a last minute booking. She was faithful to send us pics and it seems like Sully had a wonderful time. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Elaine did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. My little dog is a rescue… she is very timid and has abandonment issues, so I was hoping to find the perfect dog sitter for her while we went out of town for a holiday. I adjusted the filters on Rover.com to display only sitters without kids and without other pets at home. Elaine was 1 of 11 and when I read her bio, I knew she’d be a great match! Thankfully, she agreed to dog sit for us and it worked out exceptionally well. I never once doubted the quality care she was receiving while we were away. Elaine was always quick to respond to texts and sent pics and daily updates. Elaine is now my number 1 choice for dog sitting services. Thank you so much, Elaine!

Elaine was wonderful! She was great to communicate with and provided daily updates and pictures while I was on a trip. My corgi was happy and healthy when I returned. I would definitely trust Elaine to care for my dog in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.

A typical day

Taking dogs outside is totally on my agenda for watching dogs. Or playing ball with them. Some dogs just want to sleep! My dog that I lost in 2020, I had spent time teaching him to do tricks...fun for us both. Cats tend to be more independent, you can brush them (for a little) and play with cat toys with them...they just like to hang out on their terms. I've had cats in the past and have watched my daughters cats on occasion.

I need to know if they have special needs, any behavior issues that I need to take into account. Any medications they need to take? Do they have problems with separation anxiety? Are they crate trained? What food do they eat, how often do you feed them.
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.
