“I used Elan to walk our girl Neffie for a few days for the 1st. I’m always reserved when allowing new dog walkers into my home. However, Elan came a few days before and met with Neffie and me to get special instructions and the lay of the land. Neffie warmed up to her instantly. Elan, was a pleasure, on time with her walks, sent me photos, and updated me how my baby was doing. I will definitely use her again. Thanks again Elan for giving me a piece of mind. :)”

About: I’ve had all types of pets growing up (hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and 1 cat). As an adult, I’ve had 1 dog, 2 guinea pigs, and currently have 1 leopard gecko (caged in my son’s room). I have three small children so caring for a pet full time is not in the cards for our family right now but it hurts my soul to not have any in our home. I thought this would be a great opportunity to get my fill for my love of dogs and cats until we are ready for our own again. I am very active and walk my 10k+ steps a day and would love to have a walking buddy with me. I work full time but from home. My three children are in some form of child care Mon - Fri. *Summer schedule for kids varies* I have two yards. One large yard, great for running around. We also have a smaller yard that was purposely created for dogs to go to the bathroom when the former owner lived here as she was a foster for dogs.

I have 3 dogs that I’ve raised since they were puppies.I currently have a Pitt mix 6 year old dog named Kokoa, a 8 year old boxer/hound mix named Shiloh and a 11 year old chihuahua. So believe me, multiple dogs at one time is no problem. And I’ve learned some cool tricks over the years on how to deal with difficult dogs. I love running and weightlifting, so I can match your pup's energy. I consider myself an active person so I have no doubt I can keep up with your high energy pups. But I won't say no to just sitting on the couch with your pup by my side and having a movie night. I’m currently back home from college, I go to UMD. (GO TERPS!), and so my availability is wide open, and available for overnight care, dog walks, and drop in visits. I'm currently have an internship on Mondays and Tuesday’s all day but those are the only times I’m unavailable. I am free wed-Sunday at any times. I am fully vaccinated, and am available to dog sit at your home, depending on your comfortability of course. A few years ago , Kokoa had to have TPLO surgery, and I cared for her throughout her recovery and medication administration, so if you have a pup with special needs, I have experience and can deliver! i do have experience caring for smaller animals like rabbits too. I provide scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, affection and any other additional needs.

Shawn S.
“We are a family of animal lovers, and we adore our little Labradoodle, Suzi. She, in turn, ADORES her friend, Shawn. When we tell Suzi that Shawn is coming to see her, she watches out the window for him. She is so excited to see him! She runs in and out of his legs, then runs to the door and stands still so Shawn can put her harness on, so they can leave. They play and walk and run. Shawn sends us beautiful pictures of Suzi taken while they are out. When they return, Shawn tells us about their adventures and even gives us a "Potty Report". Shawn returns Suzi's love and observes her very closely to help us keep up with her health and well-being. He is an amazing young man: responsible, dependable, conscientious, and, most important, a heart big enough to care for all his canine and human friends. I wholeheartedly recommend Shawn for a position in your company.”
