Pet care experience
Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I have over 5 years of pet sitting experience and only do in-your-home stays to ensure less stress for your beloved animals. I have over 4 years of animal caretaking experience working with a variety of species in sanctuary, zoo and entertainment settings. I recently moved to the area from Texas. I am currently working full time at the Denver Zoo, so I am unable to do midday drop-in visits unless it is on my day off. During stays, I enjoy regular walks, play time and/ or cuddles with your pets. I am happy to share the bed with your animals (if allowed!). I have a background in veterinary care, which has given me a keen eye for medical or behavioral changes. During stays, I give daily reports to owners, including any changes in behavior or appetite. I am owned by one cat, Zja Zja, and promise to care for and love your pets as though they were my own. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope to hear from you soon! Cheers~ Professional animal care experience with Joel Slaven's Professional Animals, Primarily Primates, Goldsmith Veterinary Clinic Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover my entire life; I grew up with a dog and cat and had other pets including a guinea pig and field mouse. I can relate to the quote by Anthony Douglas Williams, "When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul." I do not currently have a dog (apartment living makes that difficult) and I love that rover.com gives me the opportunity to meet new animals and care for them as if they were my own, even if for a brief time. My experience administering medication Yes, I have experience administering medication to dogs and cats.
Reviews
Elicia is the BEST sitter by far!! Our baby's had so much fun with her. We will definitely hire her again!
Excellent dogsitter! She sent pictures every day and took great care of my fur babies :-)
This was our first time using the app and were really impressed by what we received from Elicia! She was great with our two dogs giving them much love while keeping us up to date on who they were doing. Not only was the care above and beyond but she looked after our home while we were away! We will be using Elicia again in our future dog sitting!
Elicia is AMAZING! She took care of my four dogs, one of them a 7 month puppy, for the weekend and I couldn't ask for anyone better. During our meet & greet she took the time to get to know my pups, my house, and made me feel 100% confident in her abilities. She continued to amaze me with her daily updates and pictures while I was away. FYI she does not like scorpions so please take the necessary precautions :) Elicia, thank you for taking great care of my pups and they hope to see you soon!

Skills
Information Elicia B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dog's daily routine. If barking signals an intruder, visitor, or if barking occurs regularly (just so I know if I should be on alert if it happens in the middle of the night). It would be helpful to know if the dog has special needs and requirements (ex: homemade food that has to be prepared daily).
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog If I am staying in your home, I would be gone during the day if I have to work (6-2:30). Otherwise, I plan to spend most of my time with your pet-playing, going for walks, and socializing your dog in general, so they don't feel lonely.
