Information Eli W. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know what your pets personalities are like, how they generally respond when you're away, and whether or not you're "their person" so to say.

A typical day

Nothing is more fun than getting to share simple moments of playtime with pets and their favorite toys. I love watching a dog run at their top speed or a cat wiggle its body in excitement before it takes its killer pounce. The best place for a walk isn't that far, be it a casual stroll through the neighborhood or even to the nearest park.

Love is a universal language.

Pet care experience

Every pet whether weeks after birth or precious moments into wise age deserve love, compassion, and patience. I believe that the way we treat pets, animals even, can be a reflection of our empathy for those we can't quite communicate clearly with, but understand at our basis that we all need to be cared for. Our relationships with our pets is just like with one another, a two way street where we both give and take, but ultimately want us both to be happy. I've cared for all sorts of animals, from young puppies and geriatric hounds to feisty felines and ferocious beasts (a bearded dragon). No pet is too sick, scary, or unworthy of the care and time needed to express our love for them and what they provide for us. I've shared my time with plenty of aged pets and helped provide comfort and support in the last of their time here with us.

Eli was a great sitter for our 2 cats. They were well taken care of, house safe, mail retrieved and my peace of mind will away was at ease. He wrote daily narratives per vist with great photos. We will use Eli again and again.

Eli is hands down my favorite pet sitter. I’ve never had to worry when he is caring for my kids. He is attentive to their needs.

Eli is a very warm and professional pet sitter. He handled our quirky, creaky senior with great care and gave our new spicy chi space and patience. I appreciated his thorough notes and will use him again!

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.
