Pet care experience

UM grad student, dog lover

I’ve taken care of pets since I was 12, when I helped train my first puppy. I still take care of her in her sunset years when I’m visiting home, administering medications and monitoring her health. My family, friends, and neighbors often trust me with their animals and I’ve even helped housesit for three rowdy goats. I have my own 4 year old doggo who I’ve cared for and trained since he was a puppy. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own :)

Elayna kept Tessie happy and content during my 6 day trip. I would definitely use her again.

House Sitting • Jan 01, 2026

Elayna took amazing care of our animals. We felt at ease from the moment we met her. We were away for 7 days and she did a great job house sitting, caring for 5 chickens, 2 cats and one dog.

Elayna did an excellent job caring for our cats while we travelled. She was responsible, easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond to ensure our kitties were happy and well cared for. Thanks Elayna!

Dog Walking • Dec 23, 2025

Elayna was great with Maggie. She came on time and took her for a great walk. And Maggie loved her and wanted lots of pets. We would hire her again.

Outside of classes I have a very flexible availability for walks and drop-ins. I do my best to verify my Rover calendar every 1-2 days so it reflects my availability as accurately as possible.

Elayna can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I will ask all new clients to confirm that their pets are up to date on vaccinations. Give me a heads up if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I should watch out for. It’s easy to forget how unique our fur babies’ personalities can be!
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.
