She spends more than the 30 minuets to really make sure Denali is cared for! Tons of photos taken and you can see how she is really bonding with my pup! So glad to have found her!”
About: Growing up I have had both dogs and cats and was responsible in taking care of both. I carried the skills I learned as I left for college and looked after fellow students and friends pets. Not just watching over their beloved animals, feeding and playing with them, but also teaching them new tricks of the owners were okay with it. Currently and until May I will have classes for 1 hour everyday in the afternoon Mon through Thursdays. Other than that I will be available to pet sit. Currently I do not have a busy schedule so I am able to watch and care for your pets for an extended period of time.
About: I am flexible and accommodating. Our family owns a 3-year-old golden doodle and I am often helping friends and neighbors with their pets. I am accustomed to small pets and large pets. I have experience taking care of older dogs with mobility challenges, dietary restrictions and administering medication. I am an active outdoor person and love to take dogs on walks, runs and hikes. I am willing to even care for farm animals. I am a homeschooling mom, therefore it is very easy for me to be flexible and accommodate variety of schedules. Since I already own a dog, my lifestyle already accommodates pet care. I am currently mostly looking to care for pets at their own home. I follow the owners directions/instructions which ensures that their pets are cared for in safe and accustomed manner.
“Stefanie was absolutely wonderful with my shy cat, Cleo. She was very communicative and went above and beyond to ensure Cleo was happy, comfortable and well cared for. Would highly recommend!”
“This was a last minute booking due to fire alarm checks at my apartment. Ginger quickly agreed to take him for the day, welcomed him in, and took excellent care of Gunter. He's a dachshund, not the easiest dog to deal with. But it went very well, and I'm making a permanent one day a week booking with Ginger. Couldn't be happier!”
“Alexa was awesome!! Our cats loved when she did her drop ins. She communicated well before and during with sending lots of pictures. She also was great about giving medicines that can sometimes be difficult to administer. We will definitely request her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, including my Bernese Mountain dog, Noah. I have volunteered at pet shelter and have started fundraisers for animals in need. I am currently trying saving for college— I will be able to watch and play your dogs or cats anytime during the weekdays as needed, Watching your animals and caring for their safety is one of my main priorities. I am openly adjustable for any specific animal needs or requirements.

Sand Lake pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ellen is very personable and ensured I got updates for the drop in visits with my dog Diane. Diane is not always easy to gain the trust of and can be very standoffish. With Ellen, she warmed up much quicker than with many other sitters. It was a relief knowing that Diane was in good hands. Definitely recommend Ellen and hope she can sit for Diane again.
