Personalized care for your dog or cat - Elida

“Tonya was absolutely wonderful. Our Sam is a 13 year old "senior", who is also deaf. He has never stayed with anyone overnight that was not family. Tonya took such great care of him. The fact that Tonya is home all day with him was a huge plus for us. Being older, he needs to go out more often. We will absolutely book with her again when we go away.”

About: I’m a pet lover who enjoys spoiling and sending back home ;). Unfortunately, my work schedule does not align with the love and care a pet would need full time right now which is why this is perfect for us all! I will only provide boarding for a single pet unless they come from the same family home so they will have all of my attention! I love walks so if your pup does too then it’s a perfect match! You won’t need to worry about your pet on vacation because I promise they will be vacationing themselves! On the days of availability I will be home full time with all attention available to your pet! I only provide care to one pet at a time (unless they are coming from the same household) so they will be very spoiled! I love walks so if your pet does too, we are a perfect match! I have a fenced in yard and do not have any animals in the house. Your dog will have access to the inside and outside. They do need to be trained but I do also keep in mind that accidents happen.

“Angie was spectacular! My dog hasn’t woke up since I brought her home ? She kept her well entertained and treated like family. Highly recommend!!”

Scott S.

“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Moose! I would absolutely recommend her again and again to care for your pups. She kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, and treated Moose like he was one of her own. Sounds like they may even be getting a Great Dane themselves! Thank you again, Jessica and family!”

Dustin K.

“We are repeat customers who would use Rachel any time to watch our cat while we're away. She cares for him like he is her own and gives the best updates! The security of knowing she is there and consistent and responsible is a priceless feeling!”

Jim B.

“Jodi was amazing with photo updates and confirming everything was clean and good for my pets.”

Lauren S.

“Karen has done a great job. I greatly appreciate everything she does for my kitties.”

About: I have 5 cats currently, have had 7 cats in total. 2 are elderly, so they get sick or ‘stuck’ a lot. 2 are mid-aged (5-10) and are full of life. The youngest (about 1-2) is quite skittish but very gentle with people. All of my cats are very loved, but I make sure to respect their boundaries too.

“Great job, my Chai loved her and was a great relief off my mind for the week! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets ever since I could remember—from puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve looked after dogs, cats, and everything in between. I genuinely love animals and always treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’m gentle, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved—whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or just being there for comfort and companionship. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule, so we will work out what is most convenient for your schedule and availability! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and routine they’re used to. I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping things clean, calm, and secure.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, from raising dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more at home to caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I also have 8 years of professional experience working in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant/technician. I have a special love for shy and nervous pets, and I always try to give them the patience, space and tenderness they need to feel safe and comfortable. My veterinary background has given me experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities and needs, and I’m comfortable paying close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility and overall wellbeing. I’d love to put that experience to work giving your pets the exercise, enrichment and loving attention they deserve. I currently work outside of Rover, so I’ll have specific days and times each week dedicated to pet care. I’m looking forward to building a reliable schedule with my Rover clients and getting to know their pets and routines! My priority is always keeping pets safe, comfortable and happy in their own environment. I have two dogs of my own and a fenced yard, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated about how your pet is doing. I’m currently offering walks and drop-in visits rather than boarding, but may offer additional services in the future.

“Lydia provided daily pictures of my 2 girls when I was away. She played with Hazel and She took time to see my really shy girl who hides from strangers as well. She came daily as agreed. The house was picked up and in good order when I returned. Would recommend to anyone looking to make sure their cats are taken care of while they are gone and have clean litter boxes!”

Tessa and Steve S.

“It was great to meet Ashley. She was prompt and professional. She clearly loves animals! I am looking forward to having her take care of my dog.”

Marilyn P.

“Thank you for taking good care of Mischa.”

About: I have taken care of cats for years in my home. I also have had a cat rescue for years! Friends and family have always relied on me to care for their pets

“I did make it home! Thanks so far everything looks great. Did you however have somebody who was roughly 3 foot and a half? Lots of handprints everywhere on the windows no worries it’s kind of endearing. I got the mail. I think you may have forgotten it. No worries there either it wasn’t overflowing. Thank goodness we don’t get nearly the mail we used to, but maybe in the future pay attention. Thanks. I really appreciate it and I guess you’ll be coming back on Wednesday? Or Thursday I can’t remember I have to ask my hubby. Thanks, Kaitlin!”

About: I've taken care of cats since I can remember. A kitten was my very first pet in life. I can help feed, groom, clean litter boxes, and provide one on one interaction if need and wanted.

“Jersey and jak loved their visit today.!!! Thank you!”

LaDonna B.

“Angie is a great dog sitter. Good communication, asked relevant questions to best care for the dogs, and took great care of them. We'll gladly hire her again in the future.”

About: I provide a peaceful, attentive home where your dog won’t just be ‘watched’, they’ll be loved, played with, and cared for like one of my own. I am a self-employed and independent contractor for real estate and a nonprofit so my schedule for work can be made around taking care of your pets. I am home many hours of the day and most evenings. I have a very large apartment which is more like a condominium. I have over 1000 ft.² of open living in kitchen area where dogs can run and play. I also have a large lot of over an acre behind my place where I can walk the dogs on a leash to keep them safe so they don’t run off but plenty of space for us to walk and get exercise. I also Own a secondary property that has a fenced in yard area where I can take them to run off leash and play additionally.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks where they can stretch their legs and get lots of good sniffs! I am retired full time, and I am really looking forward to walking dogs part time. I travel occasionally, so I appreciate requests in advance notice. Dog safety and a comfort is a top priority for me. I’ve lived with big dogs my whole life and I’m use to controlling them on a leash.

About: My soul belongs to cats, and my heart belongs to dogs! I've been around both my whole life, and now my husband and I live with our two dogs and two cats. I've also been rescuing and fostering cats since 2021 and started the same with dogs in 2026. My pets and fosters are my whole world, and it's my mission to provide that same level of dedication to my clients' fur babies! I know first-hand how challenging it can be to trust someone with your beloved pets. You worry about their safety, their health, their tender emotions, and how much they'll miss you. Once we meet, I hope I can assure you that my gentle and fun-loving nature, attention to detail, and skilled observations will leave your fur baby in great hands. I document everything when caring for animals so I can provide detailed updates after each check-in. This includes diet, bathroom breaks, and behavior. And trust me, not a single symptom or sign of stress goes unnoticed! We'll stay in touch for whatever you and your fur babies need. Even if only for peace of mind, asking for specific photos/videos, or making an adjustment to their care routine. :) My experience includes: •Cat behavior, confidence-building, & enrichment •Positive reinforcement training (cats & dogs) •Basic puppy care and training •Dog walking •Kitten care: newborns to juveniles •Senior care (cats & dogs) •Medication administration: topical, oral, and injections •Mild-moderate behavior care: shy/"spicey" cats, reactive dogs •Mild-moderate special needs: mobility challenges, illnesses, injury recovery •Detailed symptom documentation for rescue and veterinary care Being trusted to care for your fur babies is the highest honor! Let's connect so I can meet them and see if I'm the right fit for you. :) I'm currently self-employed part-time and set my own schedule, outside of rescue commitments. This means my schedule is flexible within reason, and I'm often available for multiple check-ins per day, if needed. Your home is your pet's safe space, and it's my job to keep it that way! I'll always stick to their routine, no matter how detailed. I'm a stickler for "door dasher" pets and animals who have a history of bolting, so I'll always put things in place to prevent it. Dogs will always be observed during yard potty breaks or taken on walks. And finally, all animals will be observed very closely during each check-in so you can stay as up-to-date as possible!

“Our girl Sofie had a good time with Olivia. We appreciate Olivia’s care for her and will definitely rebook!”

About: My family has always included at least one fur baby. When I moved out at 19, I became the proud owner of Russia, a hyper, sweet, spoiled Australian Cattle Dog/Labrador mix. After meeting my husband, she gained a brother, Chaos, a lazy, snuggly, wiggly brindle Cane Corso/English Bulldog mix. Last October we rescued Runner, a shy but loving and playful Husky. Last February we welcomed our most recent rescue, Germany, a spicy, diva Miniature Pincher. As a person with four fur babies of her own, I know that it is not always possible to take your fur babies with you. I am also familiar with the feelings of worry and guilt that are experienced when separated from them. For this reason, I make every effort to transform the pet's seperation into a staycation! I try to facilitate extra special experiences of love and quality time that in the past have included (when approved by the owner): Snuggles while watching a show Extra walk walks Car car rides to take walk walks in parks for a change of scenery Extra play time (especially ball ball and tug of war to wear them out!) Car car rides to the pet store to pick out a toy or treat Greeting them with a new toy or treat once a day Car car ride to a puppy play date Car car ride just for fun! And anything else the owner may suggest the furry friend may enjoy! :) I further take the time to send photos paired with a typed update each visit to the owners to ease the difficulty of being apart. I take care to follow any and all specifications communicated by the owner and always ask questions to clarify anything that I am uncertain of. I am excited to become friends with your fur baby! I work full time 8am-4:30pm M-F. I am able to spend quality time with furry friends before work, and after work with a check in over my hour lunch break if need be! I greet all animals with affectionate pets and usually with a treat (if allowed). Fresh, clean water will always be available. Food will be distributed and prepared per owner specifications. Treats will be given generously (with owner approval) in addition to pets and playtime. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement with animals. Each visit will have at least one walk. It is preferable that harnesses are available to use. If a collar is used, it should be "normal" (no shock collar or choker collar please). I am more than happy to being a harness along! Please let me know in advance. Each visit I will take photos to send with typed updates on how the furry friend is doing. I will discuss with the owner what is allowed and reccomened with the fur baby to make the experience more like a staycation :)

About: I am an avid dog and cat lover. I currently have 2 dogs and multiple cats and will treat your pets with the same love I give my animals. I walk every day so I am willing and able to walk any distance. I am willing to walk at any pace. I have had large dogs (shepherds/pits) and small dogs (poodles/Shiba Inu). I follow all dog walking rules and would never put your dog in any harm. I truly enjoy walking and interacting with dogs. I can also take care of your dogs and cats and feed them when you are away for an extended day or vacation. I welcome all breeds. I just need to meet them prior to walk them or care for them. Pls contact me with any questions. You won’t regret choosing me I am currently retired so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I have availability to stay overnight in your home if desired I am very cognizant of pet safety. I used to have an escape artist for a dog so I learned to ensure dogs can’t escape. I will take visits of your pets on every visit so you can see how they are doing

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and fish as a child. I love all animals and would be more than happy to give someone peace of mind knowing their fur-baby is safe and well taken care of while you are away. I do work full time but am able to stop by 3-4 times a day or work with whatever schedule your pet needs. I am pretty flexible on what days or times are needed. I love animals and will make sure your pet is happy and taken care of when I visit. I will make sure food and clean water is readily available, litter boxes will be cleaned and trash taken out. Anything that they need will be available for them and kept clean. Treats will also be provided of course.

About: I have cared for multiple kinds of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc. I have worked at two veterinary clinics as well as a pet store. I know the importance of animal care and will ensure that any animal in my care is treated right. I am currently working part time at Aldi in Lafayette and taking classes. I am currently taking only one class online until October and then my schedule will be open. My services will take place at my client's home. Depending on if there are any specific directions, I will care for your pets properly and do what you request.

About: I have been a dog lover for much of my life! Growing up we had cats and smaller breed dogs. I begged my parents to allow me to watch our neighbors' dogs when they left town, and I was the go-to caretaker of our family's pets. As an adult, I have cared for 3 dogs of my own and currently we have 2 larger breed dogs. We adopted all of our dogs as puppies so I understand the adorable puppy moments, as well as the moments where puppies can be extra work. I've owned dogs into their senior years and how there can be limitation considerations and potentially and care required for health needs that come with age. I'm currently working part-time and manage a small business with my husband. Both are relatively flexible, especially if planned more than 1 week prior. Generally afternoons (after 1pm) are flexible. With advance planning, I can be available earlier in the day too. I can visit your home to care for your pets. If you have dogs and want me to provide exercise (walk or backyard play session), I can do so based on your preference. If you would like, I can also check on things inside such as water/food, or any other requested services (that I am able to provide).

About: With 25+ years of experience with pets and livestock I have had the privilege of having a house full of dogs. With two of my own currently I have had the opportunity to care for many dogs over the years and understand how important their care is when your away for an extended period of time. Knowing the absence of parents can be a stressful time for animals I offer comfort and care to ease the stresses of change in routine. My daily routine includes early mornings, outdoor activities, working full time from home and have the flexibility to host a pet or do drop-ins during the work day. At this time I am perusing a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Accounting online and spend most of my free time around home. I understand the comfort and safety of animals is the upmost priority when caring for my own as well as others. Being sure they are on the property or secured when on walks as well as keeping them away from other animals and people that they might not be familiar with to avoid any conflict.

About: I have experience with behavior modification training, off leash training, large breeds, and will build relationship/rapport with families. I am trustworthy and reliable. Breeds I have owned; Husky, Lab, Kangal, German shepherd, and breeds I have worked with: rottweiler, akita, Shih tzu, German short hair, Great Dane, Labrador Retrievers, Doberman Pincher, Labradoodle, Golden doodle, Corgi I offer "daystays", which are extended versions of Drop-Ins. I am available for "drive-bys", that is emergency, or on call drop offs. I provide paw prints, (photos) and always have "Rufferences" for clients that require personal assurances. My 5 star timeshare for Staycations (boarding)is opportunity to save cost and book in advance. I work and I'm a homeschool educator however I have no issues with adjusting my schedule to care for pets and am available to communicate with every day In home dogs sleep in our room unless crated, and eat table scraps when we aren't fast enough, we let the, free roam the house once potty routine is established and that time frame depends on dog. We don't allow dogs on furniture but cover the furniture for animals trained that way to reduce stress on trying to keep them down. In your home, routine is maintained and extra treats given, time outside is always encouraged for high energy and down time is enforced when bad behavior is being modified

About: To connect with your pet(s) on a super fun level and to really show them just how much we really do love and appreciate them! During the day 11 am to 2 pm At night 6 pm to 10 pm I would walk your pet around if needed but if the weather is appropriate. Being able to follow detailed instructions. I am consistent with the time I suppose to allow them to run and playing with them outside. I enjoy discovering new traits about pets.

About: I’m a pet lover who enjoys spoiling and sending back home ;). Unfortunately, my work schedule does not align with the love and care a pet would need full time right now which is why this is perfect for us all! I will only provide boarding for a single pet unless they come from the same family home so they will have all of my attention! I love walks so if your pup does too then it’s a perfect match! You won’t need to worry about your pet on vacation because I promise they will be vacationing themselves! On the days of availability I will be home full time with all attention available to your pet! I only provide care to one pet at a time (unless they are coming from the same household) so they will be very spoiled! I love walks so if your pet does too, we are a perfect match! I have a fenced in yard and do not have any animals in the house. Your dog will have access to the inside and outside. They do need to be trained but I do also keep in mind that accidents happen.

“Angie was spectacular! My dog hasn’t woke up since I brought her home ? She kept her well entertained and treated like family. Highly recommend!!”

Scott S.

“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Moose! I would absolutely recommend her again and again to care for your pups. She kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, and treated Moose like he was one of her own. Sounds like they may even be getting a Great Dane themselves! Thank you again, Jessica and family!”
