Information Elle D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal needs any special care. I am more than willing to adjust my day around your pet. I don’t have any preference of breed or animal just happy to help!

A typical day

A tired dog is a good dog. I love going on lots of walks and adventures with your pup. I think it’s important for a dog to stay active and engaged when they’re away from their owner to minimize stress and anxiety. That said I of course will account for quality cuddling time

I already love your pet!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of all different kinds of pets from one hundred pound dogs to chinchillas and reptiles. I was lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood with lots of animals and found great joy in taking care of them. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter and saw first hand how each animal has a different story. Above all I love pets and understand what your pet means to you.

Elle is an incredibly kind human to both other people and animals. She was born into a home shared by rescue cats and dogs and grew up constantly playing with, training and caring for them - and the pets of traveling neighbors and friends from a young age, too. She has a huge heart, and animals seem to intuitively sense that, which makes it very easy for her to connect with pets of any personality. She is also an incredibly strong athlete and has no problem walking our sometimes excitable, 90-pound pitbull mix. I highly recommend her for watching pets of any kind and temperament!

As her older brother, I watched Elle take responsibility for our family pets throughout our childhood. She's caring and patient, and the animals love her. She currently cares for our parent's dog, smooch, when she's home from university. The dog admires her and sleeps in her room even when she's at school. Elle will make an excellent addition to the pool of Rover pet walkers.
