Pet care experience

Hi I’m Ellie 👋. I’ve been on Rover for about 2 years now and have had lots of good experiences. I’ve had a many pets over the years including dogs, cats, and hamsters. I have years of experience being a reliable pet sitter, walker, and house sitter. My sitting experience has ranged from caring for a bunny to walking a 150 pound bloodhound twice a day!

Ellie is great. Very reliable and communicative and great with our dog who is pretty shy with new people.

Ellie did such a great job with our two cats - she was very attentive and accommodating to some abnormal requests for taking care of our girls. She clearly loves animals and is a great sitter. We would highly recommend her!

Ellie did a phenomenal job taking care of my cat. I was a first-time Rover user, and she really helped me understand how our relationship would work through the app and she really walked me through Rover's protocols. Ellie is a patient, dutiful, and gentle pet sitter. My Junebug is a little skittish around strangers, but Ellie managed to coax her out of hiding after one visit! I also want to note that Ellie is super responsive and, despite the fact I traveled internationally while employing her services, I never one felt worried that I would lose touch. Needless to say, the next time I need a little kitty care, I'm contacting Ellie first. I would highly recommend her if you need a buddy for your fur baby.

Ellie was great! Very quick to respond and reliable. She was also very sweet and patient with our shy dog and was very flexible when he had some scheduling changes.

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.
