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.

Information Elijah D. would like to know about your pet

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. :)

A typical day

I’ll adjust the pace based on your pet’s energy and personality. Some dogs love active games like fetch or tug, while some cats go wild for a fishing toy session. Others might prefer a calm walk or gentle playtime. If your pet is lowkey, I’m happy to just keep them company.

Pet care experience

🆕 ➡️ Now certified in Red Cross First Aid for Dogs and Cats! 😊 Quick Overview: ✅🐾 Drop-in visits for dogs, cats, small animals, etc. ✅🐇 Comfortable with rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, rats, etc. ✅📸 Photo updates included ✅🎓 Healthcare student with strong attention to detail I’ve had pets my entire life, but as an adult I’ve had pets of my very own for about 6 years. I’m extremely interested in animal health and behaviour, and am a gentle, calm person. I’ve done in-home pet sitting for dogs in the past, off of the Rover app. Rover only lists cats and dogs, but I’m also happy to care for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, fish, reptiles, and any other small pets! I have two rabbits and two gerbils of my own. :) Just use the “cat” option when sending a request if booking for something other than a dog/cat, I’m happy to adjust the rate as needed.

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.

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!

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.
