Pet care experience

Caring, safe, pet friendly home!

Hi! I'm Elijah and I'd love to care for your dogs whether you're going on vacation or simply need a sitter for the day. As of August 2026, I finished nursing school and will be doing Rover full-time until I take my NCLEX test to officially become a licensed nurse! I have one dog of my own, a 9-year-old miniature schnauzer named Winston, along with two rabbits and a leopard gecko. My partner has two dogs of his own as well, a labrador named Nina and a shih-tzu mix named Lucky—both of them being seniors at ages 13 and 15! We live in a 2 bedroom house with a medium sized, fenced in backyard. I have gates and areas of the house that can easily be secluded if your pet would do better with limited access to other animals. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages ranging from puppies to seniors. Our dogs are all easy-going, surprisingly playful for their ages, and get along with other animals very well (although I'll still do introductions slowly and safely).

Elijah was incredibly kind, friendly, patient and communicative! I can’t wait for him to keep my Felix again.

Our Teddy had a great 10 day stay with Elijah. Elijah made the whole process easy and smooth. He’s a caring person and sent pictures to us and updates. It really gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and with someone that genuinely loved animals. Elijah was taking care of one other pet plus his three and they all got along fine. He even washed Teddy’s bed before we picked him up. Definitely will use him again! Thank you Elijah!

Elijah was very professional and provided at least one update per day along with photos. Elijah made the whole process very easy; he was quick to respond, very accommodating, and appears to have taken great care of our pup. I would definitely use him for future needs.

Fantastic sitter. Couldn’t have hoped for better communication. Price is right too. Highly recommend and plan to utilize his services again in the near future.

Schedule

Since graduating college, my schedule is quite literally free 24/7! As mentioned before, Rover will be my full-time job until I get to take my NCLEX and become a licensed nurse. This means your dog will have my full attention and rarely, if at all, be left alone!

Safety, trust & environment

The animals in my home are left alone for very little time each week. If guest animals have to be left alone, I have gates along with two rooms I can secure the guest pet in if need be! If you utilize a crate, you can bring that as well for me to use if this is how your pet is normally kept while left alone.

Pets

A typical day

I have a fenced in backyard for exercise, bathroom breaks, and playing. My lifestyle is a bit more on the laidback side so smaller breeds that can get their exercise needs easily met in my home and backyard would be perfect!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Elijah can host up to 4 pets per night
•Allergies •Medicine schedule (if any) •How well they do with other animals •Toy or treat restrictions •Behavioral issues (if any) •Feeding schedule •Bathroom schedule No breed preferences, though I don’t plan on boarding larger dogs at this time. Size preference would be English bulldog size (at maximum) and anything smaller.
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.
