“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”

About: I’ve cared for many animals over the years, from my own to beloved pets of friends and other family. I grew up caring for both cats and dogs, and have experience with senior pups who have limited mobility. My schedule is relatively flexible, as I currently work from home. I am available at a variety of hours for drop ins and walks across all 7 days of the week. Your pets’ safety is my priority! I care for your pets as if they were my own. If possible, I would love to have detailed instructions for exactly how to keep up with your pets - I want to make sure that your pets (and you!) are comfortable with my services and that all your rules are followed to keep them safest and happiest.
