Information Elan M. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs and cats and any other animal companions! I'd love to know a little about their personality and preferences, so I can keep them company and create a positive and safe environment.

A typical day

We can go on walks to the park, enjoy fenced dog runs, and play any game your dog enjoys outside or at home! My priority is making sure your pets are happy and healthy.

Loves taking care of animals

Pet care experience

I absolutely adore dogs, and cats and I love taking care of them! I give them lots of attention and care. I enjoy keeping them entertained and playing with them using toys or giving them belly rubs. I also groom dogs and cats if there are supplies on hand, and if that's something a pet owner would like me to do. I’ve pet-sitted for many friends, family, and other pet owners on Rover. I love adapting to each animal and learning on the job - using my experiences to help me be the best pet sitter possible!

Elan was great! River had an injured/infected paw and Elan made sure to clean his paw daily and had his sock on so he wouldn’t lick his wound. She was also great with communication. Thank you, Elan!

Elan takes excellent care of my 8 year old Pomeranian! He is always happy to see her & she sends updates/photos of their time together.

This was our first time using Rover, and Elan was absolutely amazing with Yoda while we were out of town for 6 days. She provided regular picture updates, and you could genuinely tell he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The last couple times we used traditional kennel boarding, Yoda came home very depressed and stressed. This experience was completely different. With Elan, it truly felt like he was staying with family. We came home to a happy dog, and that gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. We would absolutely trust her with Yoda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and dependable.

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.
