Pet care is a vital and seamless part of my daily and weekly routine. Over the past four years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, and especially a neighbor's turtle, who I have grown to love dearly. Each day, I ensure that she is fed and her cage is cleaned, and I spend over three hours sitting with her, ensuring she feels loved and cared for. This routine has taught me to care for pets as if they were my own and deepened my love for all animals. Incorporating pet care into my schedule is crucial to me. I ensure my pet is happy and healthy, from morning walks to evening snuggles. Every activity, whether feeding, brushing, or playing, is an opportunity to deepen our bond and show my pets the love and attention they deserve. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities, such as my involvement in ROTC at Norwich University for the past three years, has honed my discipline and time management skills. In addition to my ROTC commitments this summer, I am taking summer courses and have lacrosse practices. Despite these busy schedules, I always ensure that pet care remains integral to my routine, reflecting my dedication to their well-being.

Safety, trust & environment
As a dedicated pet caregiver/Owner, my approach to pet care is tailored to the pet's needs and the environment. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space in my own home or while providing services for clients. This includes regular feeding schedules, enriching activities such as walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining cleanliness through regular grooming and sanitation practices. Additionally, I strive to provide ample affection and attention to ensure each pet feels valued and loved, whether under my roof or in the comfort of a client's home.

A typical day
While I watch them, I can keep your pets happy, healthy, and busy with a variety of enjoyable activities. Dogs love playing fetch because it's a terrific way to socialize with each other and burn off energy. Treat-dispensing toys and puzzle toys are examples of interactive toys that can amuse both cats and dogs. For pets, training sessions that involve teaching them new tricks or having them practice commands can be entertaining and enjoyable. Dogs enjoy walks and outdoor play, while some cats might like to explore the outdoors under supervision. Playtime with feather wands or laser pointers is especially enjoyable for cats. For dogs, putting up a basic agility course may be entertaining and a great way to burn off energy. Certain loved ones find solace and strength in quiet time and affection.

Animal-loving house sitter :))
Pet care experience
Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles. For the past four years, I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friend turtle who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage, along with feeding her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to care for pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :))
Reviews
Elijah took very good care of my pup and house while I was out of town for several days. He provided daily written updates and responded quickly to any messages. He also cleaned up and did the laundry which was above and beyond. Next time I hope for more pictures of Sky but I highly recommend him and would definitely book again!
Elijah took great care of Juno and Pumpkin while we were out of town during a difficult time for my family while I was holding a memorial for my mother’s passing.
Elijah did a fantastic job taking care of our two kitties and our pup. He is very responsible and a delightful person. We will definitely ask Elijah to take care of our dear pets again and again. Thank you Rover for giving us Elijah.
Elijah was an amazing sitter! He went above and beyond to make sure our pups are comfortable. Thank you!
