Pet care experience

I treat your dogs like my own!

I grew up taking care of two family dogs: one small breed and one larger breed. We adopted both of my dogs while they were young, and my oldest dog is now 15, so I am no stranger to looking after dogs of any age. I also have plenty of experience dog-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family throughout the years. Additionally, I have taken care of reactive/anxious dogs in the past, so I have experience when it comes to dogs with special needs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am very flexible to the needs of different animals and understand that every pet is unique, and therefore, I will treat them as such. Whether that be 3 walks a day or simply extra love, I am well-suited to meeting the needs of any pet and ensuring they are comfortable.

Elena was wonderful with Scottie and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive, communicative, and cared for him like he was her own! I would absolutely trust her to watch Scottie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Elena was amazing! Great communication and took such great care of my boys. Got lots of pictures of my fur babies to hold me over until I got home ☺️

Please let me know a little about the dog beforehand. What is their personality, temperament, and activity level? Do they have any special conditions, health or otherwise? Do they require any medications or treatments? I can accommodate virtually anything as long as you let me know ahead of time.
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.
