Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to administer medications and flexible with whatever rules or accommodations you may have for your pets in your home. I can work with any meal plan your pet follows. I’ll send photos and updates as often as desired.

Information Elayna S. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I love to meet your pet’s needs AND their energy. Have a high-energy doodle who needs lots of exercise? I’ve got you. Have a senior dog or cat who loves to nap, but needs some fresh air or their meds on schedule? I’m your girl. I’m always down for a long walk in the Arb, a good game of fetch, or just some enrichment time in the backyard.

Pet care experience

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 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.

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.
