Pet care experience
Pet Sitter for All Critters
Quick Overview: ✅ 🐾 Drop-in visits for all animals, including dogs, cats, and exotics ✅ 🐇 Highly experienced with rabbits, rodents, fish, & reptiles ✅ 🐕 Experience caring for both puppies/kittens, as well as senior animals ✅ 📸 Detailed photo updates included ✅⛑️ Certified in Red Cross First Aid for Dogs and Cats I’ve lived with animals my entire life and have been responsible for my own pets in my own household for the last 7 years. I have a deep interest in animal health and behavior, which informs my approach to treat every pet with a gentle, calm demeanor. I want to get to know your pet as an individual! I work full-time shift work with plenty of advance notice, so please reach out and we can try to coordinate a schedule that works for you and your pet! Rover only lists cats and dogs, but I love caring for exotics too! Please use the “Cat” option when sending a request for rabbits, pocket pets, fish, or reptiles. I am happy to discuss to match your setup before booking.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ve used pet sitting services for my own pets, so I understand how intimidating it can feel allowing a stranger into your home to take care of your animal friends while you’re away! I’ll follow any instructions carefully, leave things how I found them, and keep you updated with photos or messages.
Ratings and reviews
Elijah provided exceptional care to my cat while I was away for a few days. He kept me updated throughout and was able to administer his medication effectively. Communication was exceptional and I truly felt that my cat was well looked after. Could not recommend Elijah enough!!
I could not be more pleased with Elijah's care of my little baby! He was great! I most appreciated how attentive and communicative he was with me. There was a bit of an issue in the beginning with the litter box. My cat was not using it, but Elijah was kind enough to make a second visit to check and see if he had. Luckily my cat decided to use his box. After this experience, I could tell that Elijah really cares for animals. I will definitely call on him again to look after my kitty. It was my first experience using Rover and I was a little nervous, but having Elijah around made me feel much better about being on vacation.
Fantastic sitter. Looked after my cats and made sure they were comfortable. Would definitely book again.
Elijah did a great job of caring for our cat Cardi while we were out of town . Felt very safe and sent detailed reviews after each visit . Thank you
We had a great experience with our pet sitter, Elijah! He took excellent care of our cat, Socks, over three days. The best part was the detailed updates and photos each day, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Reliable, caring, and great communication throughout. Highly recommend!
Wonderful with my dog, very dependable and kind!

Schedule
I work in healthcare with a rotating shift schedule (including days, evenings, and overnights) that is posted well in advance. While my schedule does shift, I usually have plenty of notice to confirm whether I'm free for your booking. Please reach out to discuss your schedule and specific needs so we can ensure your pet is taken care of. :)
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsElijah can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I would always want to know if your pet has any health issues, quirks, or routines that are important to them. Do they get nervous around other pets? Are there certain sounds or situations that stress them out? Let me know how they like to be approached, fed, walked, or soothed, anything that helps me care for them the way you would. My goal is to keep your pet happy. :)
