Pet care experience

Dog lover/mama at your service!

I am a 36 year old professional, educated woman who has been loving and caring for dogs since childhood. I grew up with two German Shorthaired Pointers (family dogs) and assisted in the training of and caring for them until I left for college. During college in New York City, I worked as a live-in nanny and personal assistant to a family who had a Large Munsterlander. I was responsible for walking, medicating, and feeding their dog, Rufus, each day. In New York, I also did occasional paid dog-sitting for friends and neighbors. I have been solely responsible for my English Pointer’s healthcare, vigorous daily exercise, socialization, and training since 2013. I am friends with many dog owners, breeders, handlers/exhibitors, and I have volunteered at the Westminster Meet the Breeds event to help educate the public on the English Pointer breed. As a lifelong dog lover and a dedicated dog mom, I'm confident that your pup would be delighted to have me around in your absence! (I have never cared for cats before, and am unsure if I'd be the best choice for a kitty sitter, though.) I treat every dog as if they’re my own. I also LOVE puppies and have so much love and patience for them. I require a meet and greet prior to confirming a sitting booking. Subsequent meet and greets after the first must be booked as a drop in visit. Please note that key pick up and drop off is $15 per trip. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets primarily in the dog owners' home (since I'm in a rental), with advance notice so I can make accommodations for my own pup :)

Elizabeth was super sweet, and very attentive! She took us on short notice, and was fantastic! Great communication, very prompt & professional, while still being very warm and genuine. The dogs clearly adored her, and we will definitely book her again!

Elle did a wonderful job with my big, huge baby (125 lb lab -only 2 and still thinks he’s a lap dog). She was incredibly accommodating and flexible as we asked her if she could watch my fiancé’s border collie at the last minute (coverage fell through), and she totally took it in stride. She communicated with us regularly while we were gone, exercised the dogs, was able to handle their energy and gave them tons of love and affection. You can tell that she loves dogs and they love her. I will DEFINITELY use her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants someone who is trustworthy, clear on what she offers, communicates well, and sends pictures. Our dogs were happy and calm when we returned. Thanks, Elle!!! ?

Elizabeth took great care of my two Pomeranians. They looked very happy cuddling and playing in the photos!

Please be as honest and open with me as possible, and let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors to keep in mind (i.e. is he or she dog friendly, small child friendly, okay with strangers, able to swim, a big puller, etc).
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.
