Availability

Up until July 6, 2026, I have completely free and open availability. Important Notice: Starting July 6, 2026, I will begin work as a healthcare worker on a casual call-in basis, so my work schedule will be regularly changing. While this casual schedule gives me a lot of open days and mid-day flexibility that standard 9-to-5 workers don't have, I will likely not be a good fit for drop-in visit clients who need me to stop in at guaranteed set times (e.g., animals requiring time sensitive medications), since I can be phoned in on short notice for a shift, and may need to adjust my timing accordingly. I guarantee I will come, but it is possible I would need to adjust when I come to be earlier or later than originally booked. Thank you for your understanding!

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.

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.

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.
