Pet care experience

I can handle most types of animals

I have been with Rover for almost 15 years. I have had experience with many different types of animals from my pet chickens to my mini pig who was 11 1/2 years old. His name was Tommy John, I had experience with horses, I took care of my daughter‘s pet snake for over five years. I have administered medication to cats and dogs that I have pet sit for I have also had a 21 year-old cat and three dogs of my own for most of my adult life, I had a litter of dogs when I was in my young 20s that I raised. I have always had a love of animals since I was a young child. I have enjoyed doing Rover as a side job I bring my 4 1/2 year-old corgi on most of my pet sitting jobs but do not need to bring him. He enjoys almost all animals. I check in with the owners every 2-4 hours and send pictures each day as this is what I like when I have my animals watched by Rover. Please consider me I am extremely professional on time and do exactly what I say that I will do when I am watching your animals. Recently, I have had issues on some of my Rover jobs with people coming to the house so I must say this when I am pet sitting it is not OK with me to have people coming over to the house. Rover is just for me and the animals, so if there is a problem with this, please do not have maybe your Rover person Handy Man contractors friends family can do their visiting when you are here with your animals. I have lived in six different states and have excellent references in each one thank you in advance.

Safety, trust & environment

Currently I do not have a place that I can watch animals as I just moved to the East Coast but normally I would take care of anyone’s animals in my home as I take care of my own animals they are allowed on my furniture, I would have a fenced backyard and I would allow them in and out to go potty often And I would have an area where they could be if I were to run errands so they are safe. I am requiring that all pet sitting jobs. Have a fenced yard from here on out.

We found Elana 1 week before our trip and were so grateful for everything she did for us. She maintained her professionalism throughout a long 4 days of workers showing up at our home that we did not expect. The entire time her focus was consistently on our dogs. We would highly recommend Elana for you pet sitting needs!

Unfortunately due to family not respecting boundaries she needed to cancel early but was fully transparent and respectful, I would absolutely recommend booking with her as she very sweet and caring and explained everything to us a first time rover users 10/10 would recommend!

Schedule

How Ever the owner of the Pet would like me to this it would be very important to me having someone to come watch my animals. I require a fenced yard from here on out after some bad experiences with unfeed yards.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Elana can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If the dog has aggression issues on any level with other animals, with children, with people, or around food I also need to know if the animal has any medical issues that would interfere
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.
