Pet care experience

Experienced and dedicated sitter

I provided attentive care for others' pets during the last decade while going to grad school in Austin, TX, and I'm happy to bring the same to pets in Albuquerque! I focus on establishing trust and a good relationship with your pets while reinforcing your training commands. I’m patient with shy pets and enthusiastic with energetic ones - and I can’t wait to meet your little guy! I have experience sitting pets of all ages, both in single and multi-pet households, and I have provided oral/eye/ear medication for senior and special needs pets. I also have years of experience caring for large animals (horses, mostly) and plants. Note: Thanks for your understanding that I am only taking new clients in on a limited basis, and I am no longer taking new clients that are more than 20 minutes from my home - that includes west Albuquerque and much of downtown. If you are unsure about location, feel free to make a request and we can go from there 🙂 In addition, I currently cannot take drop ins and walks before 10 am, as I am often sitting and will be occupied during that time. Current rates, as of October 2025: *Drop ins and walks are $20-25 for 30 minutes for 1 pet + $5-10 for each additional pet, depending on the market. I typically add $10-15 for an extra 30 minutes. This includes food/water, play time with the pet, pictures, and cleaning if applicable. *Typical house sit (away max of 6-8 hours, max time of 2 weeks; includes walks, cleaning, and other house tasks): $35-40 for the first pet + $5 (additional cats) or $10-20 (additional dogs) *Intensive house sits (away max of 4 hours or stay longer than 2 weeks): $50 for first pet + $10 (cats) or $20 (dogs) for each additional pet

Safety, trust & environment

I center pet safety and comfort above all else, so I'll ask about allergies, training commands, and what they need from me to feel happy and confident. I’ve administered medication to pets, followed specific training directions, and will do my best to keep them on the schedule that they are used to. I'm patient and kind, and I like to let the pet lead the interaction. So, I get along well with anxious pets! 🙂 If I am staying overnight, I ensure to specify ahead of time which rooms are off limits and how best to respect the space I’m in. I'll ask permission before bringing in any of my art materials, and if you don't want art supplies in the house, no problem!

Elliot took excellent care of our boy! She provided us with detailed updates and photos daily, and she left our home in great condition. We could from tell from the photos how happy and relaxed he was, which allowed us to thoroughly enjoy our trip!

I take this work seriously, and arrange my day to be there for your pet when they need me. I'm a working artist with a flexible schedule, and as a result I can accommodate most requests around timing.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Elliot can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pets have specific commands for me to use, as well as any triggers to avoid when playing/cuddling/on walks. You can also let me know about house rules re: pets on the furniture, toys being left out, or certain doors needing to stay closed/open.
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.
