Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Care

I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently help care for a high-energy Border Collie/Sheltie mix and three cats. I have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, including administering transdermal and liquid medications and helping manage ongoing medical care for a cat with hyperthyroidism. I also helped care for a dog with hypothyroidism, pancreatitis, and liver disease, giving me experience following specialized care routines and monitoring pets with chronic health conditions. I’m comfortable reading cat and dog body language, handling multi-pet households, and caring for cats who are skilled escape artists. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to cat and dog body language, take extra care with pets who may try to escape, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’m also comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets and administering medications according to owner instructions.

If you’re considering booking Ella, do it. We’ve relied on her for both house sitting and drop-in visits more times than we can count, and she’s never let us down. What stands out most is how comfortable our pets are with her. Some of our animals can be a little particular with new people, but they took to Ella right away. It’s obvious she has a natural connection with animals and knows how to make them feel safe and cared for. Beyond being great with pets, she’s respectful of our home, easy to work with, and always follows through on what she says she’ll do. When we’re away, we can actually enjoy our time knowing everything is taken care of. At this point, Ella feels less like a pet sitter and more like a trusted friend of the family. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

Ella has done drop-in visits and house sitting for us countless times, and we truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and caring, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing our pets and home are in such good hands. Ella consistently goes above and beyond during her visits, making sure our pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She provides great updates and photos, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Our pets are always excited to see her and are relaxed and content when we return home. After so many positive experiences, we can confidently say that Ella is someone we trust completely. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, attentive, and compassionate pet care. We’re so grateful to have found her!

Schedule

Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 3–6 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–3 PM. Outside of those hours, I have flexible availability for drop-in visits and house sitting and can provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and medication administration as needed.

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, allergies, fears, and favorite activities. I also like to know if they have any special behaviors, such as escaping doors, guarding food, anxiety around strangers, or specific triggers. The more I know beforehand, the better I can provide safe, personalized care for your pet.
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.
