I'm a recent graduate from Savannah College of Art and Design and currently do not have a full-time job, so I am almost always available to help you out during the week! I currently work remotely as a freelancer, so my schedule is extremely flexible and can make the time for you and your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very good at following directions and always take notes. If your pet follows a certain routine or if you have special rules involving what your pet can and can't do, I have no issue changing what I do to match whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable.

Information Elias R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I need to account for and we can discuss it. I am very comfortable with most situations, even if it's a new one.

A typical day

What we do will probably depend on what energy level your pet has and what their routine is. However normally, a typical day would involve walks through the neighborhood, playtime in the yard or the house (client preference), or just hanging out and spending time together.

Pet care experience

I grew up alongside multiple dogs throughout my childhood, so I have many years of experience being around dogs of all shapes and sizes. Not only do I have a dog myself, but I have experience taking care of other's dogs as well. While my experience says 4 years, I chose only to include my experience of taking care of other family's pets, not just my own. Most recently, I have been taking care of my cousin's dog while he's away for upwards of weeks on business trips, which inspired me to make a Rover account!

Elias is AMAZING!!! We have a feral/extremely fearful dog who makes it near impossible to travel because people frighten him so much. Elias followed our instructions for introductions, came to meet him multiple times prior to our leave, and took his time. Elias was so good with him, that he even came up for pets and snuggles, something that doesn't ever happen! We are so grateful to have peace of mind that my dogs will be ok because Elias is there. I highly recommend him!

Elias was an EXCEPTIONAL rover! He took care of all my cats and attended to all their needs. He made sure to update me on everything while I was on my trip and took very good care of my babies. Thanks to him I had zero worries while I was away and knew they were in the best hands possible. I will definitely be booking him again in the near future and could say I’m very content with his service. Thanks again!! :)

Elias was extremely easy to coordinate with, and was SO good with my dog who was a bit nervous at first. The pictures and updates I got made me feel so much better while I was away. Tashi has made a new best friend!

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.
