Information Ella H. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with special needs pets (medical and behavioral), but would like to know beforehand to know exactly what your pet needs! I also ask that every family can provide me with a vet and emergency contacts that they would like me to go to and reach out to in case of any emergency.

A typical day

Definitely depends on what the fur-baby needs and what their owners would like, so very open minded and flexible to what every family needs! Walks, enrichment activities, playing, napping, sun bathing, and much more are all examples of ways I can work with an animal to make them feel comfortable and safe!

With very little notice, Ella was so flexible and went above and beyond to help us out in a pinch and she genuinely cares about our lil critters! We hope to book with her again in the future!

Best pet sitter we have ever hired. We hope to rebook with Ella the next time we go out of town. The kindness and thoughtfulness in her care for our cats and dog were simply amazing.

Ella went above and beyond while taking care of our dog. She sent us updates throughout our trip and gave us peace of mind. She clearly cared so much about our dog, and our dog was very happy when we got home! Ella also took great care of our home (it even smelled clean when we returned!). I cannot recommend Ella enough. We will absolutely ask her to watch our dog again!

Ella was very professional, asking good questions and doing all that we asked. Our dog was very happy with her and well cared for. I especially enjoyed the photos Ella shared with us while we were gone. I’m

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.
