I love dogs and was a proud owner of a British Cocker Spaniel 15 years ago. Currently, I don't offer dog sitting or dog walking. However, if you have a smaller dog (UNDER 15 LBS), who has no behavioral issues, let me know and I will take care of him/her. We will walk in familiar neighborhood, I feel feed them and play.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name Is Elena & I am passionate about cats. I speak fluent Russian and my English is okay, I appreciate if you speak at slower pace. My experience with cats is incredible and your cat will enjoy our short but sweet visits. I am a caring and loving mother to my incredible 12- year old Scottish Fold, SAMMI. I could not imagine not squeezing his cat cheeks on a regular basis:)) I have extraordinary experience taking care of cats. My daughter, who travels and has 5 indoor cats often asks me to visit them and I am the ONLY person she can trust. Like most pet owners who love their pets, she is very particular in a way of how and when they need to be fed and what food they are given. I clean the litter boxes, play with them and am sensitive to each cat's needs and Behavior. All cats have different character and preferences. I fully understand how difficult it is to leave your beloved pet. I know how hard it is to trust strangers with your family member. Worry no more, I am the person you can fully trust and rely on. I can feed your kitty, refresh their water, clean/refill the litter, play with your pet if he/she wants to give me the time of day. I am an experienced Rover sitter and I want you to know I am there for you and your pet. Important PLEASE NOTE: 1) Please keep in mind I am not fluent in English (DOES NOT effect my love for pets or ability to care for them) my native language is Russian. I am able to communicate slowly and may ask follow up questions, so we fully understand each other. The best way of communicating is via TEXT. Please speak any instructions SLOWER than you normally would, so I could understand all the specifics of your pets needs. You may provide written instructions if it's easier. 2) I would like you to know how delighted and pleased I am to have an opportunity to take care of your kitty. However, there may be circumstances outside of my control. Please note, If you have an INDOOR/OUTDOOR cat or an OUTDOOR CAT, I am NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURIES, LOSS/DEATH of an outdoor pet, due to many potentially unfortunate circumstances outside of my control. However, I would do everything in my power to prevent such things from happening. I look after the INDOOR cats exclusively. I am not able to let your cat outside and wait for it to come back. Thank you for understanding. 3) PLEASE BE AWARE. CAT BEHAVIOR. Cats may act significantly different with strangers than with you. Their behavior may change rapidly and unexpectedly. If your cat has any known behavioral traits (Biting, scratching) that I should be aware of please let me know in advance.

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.
