Loving and responsible animal lover

Pet care experience

Hi! After taking a two year break, I’m so excited to be back on Rover. I'm in Fairfield County and would love to care for your pet! I'm usually free for last minute bookings unless I'm traveling for work. I'm responsible, punctual, and passionate about animals. If you have specific instructions about how to care for your pet, you can trust they will be followed to the letter. I've had dogs almost all my life, and only don't have them now because my landlord does not allow them. Your dog(s) and I will go on long walks, play together, and become fast friends. I'm happy with any size dog you have. Your dogs will not just be cared for by me, they will be LOVED. I'll also happily feed your cat! I'm allergic though, so I'll be able to feed them and pet them a bit, but I can't snuggle them or house sit. No aggressive dogs, please. I'll gladly administer oral medications. I can't wait to work with you and your dog. Hope to see you soon!

Elaine took care of everything while we were away. Both the cat and the dog had a blast. And the house was perfect. We recommend Elaine and hope she will be available for our next trip.

Elaine is prompt and professional with communication. She is sensitive to my dog's needs and I feel very comfortable having her look after Winnie.

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pet in whichever way you instruct me to. I understand every pet has different different routines, eating habits, ways they like to play, etc. When it comes to how to care for your pet, I let you take the lead!

Information Elaine R. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about any particular quirks or behaviors I need to look out for. I would especially like to know if they are aggressive with other dogs and, of course, if they require special care due to age or illness.

A typical day

I’m a big believer in taking dogs on long walks. Unless your dog is a puppy, a senior, or ill, they will be walked at least two hours a day if I’m housesitting or one hour for each drop-in. I sometimes like to take them on trails for extra exercise on weekends. Fetch, frisbee, and tug-o-war are fun games I like to play with dogs! I’m also down for a little roughhousing if your dog enjoys that.
