Safety, trust & environment

I have no other pets at home, though our garden fence is in need of repairs, so any outside use would have to be on a leash. When in other people's homes I am very tidy and respectful of the space and will leave the house at least as clean as I found it.

Information Elaine T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if the pet has any restrictions (e.g. not allowed upstairs, on the furniture etc), any issues with other animals or people, any medications of course, and any helpful routines such as a lamp left on overnight or a particular spot they like to sit.

A typical day

My day can be led by the pet's needs, but usually involve a walk if it's a dog, with some play time and chilling out on the couch.

Pet care experience

My mum is a veterinary nurse so growing up we were often caring for strays and I've felt compassion for animals since a young age. I've done pet-sitting through a similar site for the last 5 years and loved it!

Elaine is brilliantly good with my cat, Nelson. She gives him his insulin injection easily with no stress.

Elaine came for a meet and greet. Nelson is normally quite a shy cat but he took to her quite promptly. She gave him his treat so I think they are friends by now. We are looking forward to having Elaine over again, mostly for treats says Nelson, but really he let her pet him, that says a lot of a cat who doesn't let new visitors within range for at least 48h. Elaine was knowledgeable, she understood the concerns around elderly cats with diabetes which was a huge plus.

Elaine took good care of my boys and they seemed content and well looked after when I returned, which is what matters most to me. Communication was clear and reliable. I realised that I prefer slightly more frequent updates for reassurance, so I would request a few more next time – but that’s simply a preference I hadn’t needed to clarify before, as I’d received very frequent updates from previous sitters. The home was also left in good order. I’d happily book her again.

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.
