Information Elana S. would like to know about your pet

If they are friendly with other dogs. The main perk of Rover personally, is being able to bring my own dog along. If the dog Im sitting isn’t good with others I will most likely pass as I do not want to leave my own dog alone to go care for others.

A typical day

I love playing fetch with dogs that enjoy it. I really like coming up with mental stimulation activities as well, such as a scavenger hunt in the yard or homemade puzzle toys. We love going on walks at a slow pace so the dogs can enjoy all the smells and stimulate that brain!

Honest, loving sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life among many other animals. My dog now, Boo is a senior dog and I love him more than anything. I’ve had him since I was a teen and have taken him EVERYWHERE with me. As we are both getting older, we have become more attached at the hip than ever. I grew up taking care of our horses, goats, peacocks, chickens, cats, and of course our dogs. I understand how scary it is to leave faith in a stranger that they will treat your child as you would, supplying enough love, attention, safety, and of course exercise. As I am a neurotic dog mom myself, I can assure you your dog will be kept safe in my care and of course given tons of love while you are away.

We’ve worked with Elana multiple times now, and she continues to impress us with her reliability, communication, and genuine care for our pets and home. It’s a great feeling knowing everything is in such capable hands while we’re away. Highly recommended as always.
