Pet care experience

Lifelong dog sitter / owner / lover

My name is Elliot A., I was born in Bemidji, Minnesota to my parents Don and Pam, and my two Dalmatians Siegfried and Zeus. Since then I have been absolutely obsessed with dogs. I started dog sitting for friends and family when I was 10 years old. When I was 12 years old I outsourced my services and did that as my primary employment until I was 14 when my dad let me bring home Kingston, a dog of my own. In between I enjoyed the company of my parent's two fabulous Yellow Labs, Jupiter and Echo. I worked for Out-U-Go! Pet Care in Madison, WI professionally caring for dogs, cats, and other critters from November 2016 - August 2017, and formerly worked on Rover from August 2017 - May 2020. My long-time girlfriend and I just bought a house on a quiet, dog-frequented street in Dayton’s Bluff, St. Paul and I’ve decided to go back to doing what I truly love, caring for dogs, now that I have a place of my own to do it in. At present, Rover is my full time employment. Making your pup my full priority. I would love to be given the honor of making your best friend a temporary or ongoing best friend of mine!!

We were happy to find that Elliot was still on River. We used him in the past to walk our dog and this past weekend for house sitting and care of Nola. His communication is fantastic sending several updates and pictures of their walks. We would highly recommend his services.

Elliot is so caring with our senior dog Cooper - couldn't ask for a better home away from home!

Wonderful reunion for my dog and Elliot, who we'd used as a sitter a number of years ago. Elliot is such a lover of animals and takes great care of Cooper. Absolutely would recommend!

Elliot has stayed with our pup a couple times now and has been absolutely fantastic! He is incredibly diligent with his messaging and always makes sure to send a pic to let you know how things are going. We feel very fortunate to have found him to watch our dog when we are away!

Elliott did a great job communicating, taking care of my pup and treated my home very respectfully. Hope to use him again in the future!

Schedule

Rover is my full time employment, so your dog is my primary priority. No long shifts or classes to attend, so I will be able to be with your pup most of the time if they are boarding. My only time away would be walks on Rover, or the occasional dinner out. I am also available throughout the day for walks and visits.

During walks we will tour the scenic sides of the cities, including parkways, lakes, trails, and much more. Dogs who are so inclined and tagged and up to date on vaccinations will enjoy dog park treatment as well! Overnights include on-the-couch/bed movie nights with treats for us both!
