Not a chore, rather a source of joy
Pet care experience
When I heard about Rover I knew it was the perfect job for me. I am a dental student with a love of animals. My schedule allows me to come home at lunch everyday (I live three blocks from school) so I can take your dog out for a midday walk and give them some affection. In the evenings I am free to walk your dog to a nearby park and play fetch, explore, and even jog if they're interested in further exercise. I know from experience some dogs are timid, ill, or disinterested in the park experience, in that case I am happy to walk around the neighborhood at a leisurely pace or even carry them if need be. I grew up with small dogs, big dogs, and even a blind and nearly deaf dog. My love for dogs has led me to volunteer as a dog-walker and fundraiser at the animal shelter in the past. As a dog-walker I had the opportunity to work with all sorts of dogs; some that were eager to run and pulling on the leash and others that were hesitant to leave their bed. I learned to deal with both accordingly, whether that meant a firm grip and an Alpha mentality or a calm and patient approach. I can give a high energy dog the excercise and attention it needs and I can give a timid little home-body the lap and love that he deserves. You can trust that I will care for your dog as I would my own, compassionately and patiently. Caring for your dog is not work for me, it's something I enjoy. My apartment is small but safe and clean. Thus, I will absolutely take your dog out in the morning, lunch-hour, evening and night. I share my apartment with my elderly cat. She is comfortable around dogs but I would keep her in the bedroom when I am not home to supervise. Please contact me if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Ellery did a great job with my Libby! It was a perfect environment for her and Ellery kept me at ease by updating me on Libby's status. Truly a wonderful experience! Thank you!
Ellery did a wonderful job with our two cats while we were away. She visited each day and took care of the essentials (food, water, litter box) as well as hanging out with them for awhile and playing when they'd oblige. In addition, she always made sure to text us daily updates with pics and video (including a few that showed just how quickly they had became comfortable with her, which made us feel even better). Ellery is a conscientious pro and we feel 100% safe entrusting the girls to her, which we hope to do again in the near future if she's available. She's trustworthy, accommodating and highly recommendable. Thanks, Ellery!
My little guy had a great week with Ellery! She was super accommodating during pick up/drop off, very responsive throughout the week, and sent me pictures so I didn't miss him quite so much. Thanks, Ellery!!
Ellery did a great job with my Old English Bulldog, Charlie. She sent me pictures and kept me updated as needed. She also really tended to Charlie's needs as a very hyperactive dog and took her on three walks in one day! She was flexible with my travel schedule which helped make everything stress free. I hope to use Ellery again as Charlie's sitter. It was a wonderful experience!
