About: ‼️ Exciting Update ‼️ As of mid-July, I’m officially based in Southfield, MI and am once again available for overnight stays, walks, and drop-in visits! I’m thrilled to be nearby and able to care for your pets with even more flexibility. Feel free to message me with any questions—I can’t wait to reconnect with you and your furry companions! — Eleanor 🐾 Hi, I’m Eleanor! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old, when my family adopted our beloved Border Collie/Lab mix, Lillie. That was the beginning of a lifelong love for animals. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages—from playful 8-week-old puppies to gentle senior dogs—and have experience with everything from basic training to senior care. I’m comfortable administering medications, supporting dogs with medical conditions, and handling basic first aid when needed. Whether your dog needs extra cuddles, a calm and confident walker, or someone who can stick to their routine while you’re away, I’m here to help make their day (and yours!) a little easier. I am now based full-time in Southfield, MI and available locally for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. Pet care is currently my primary focus, allowing me to maintain a highly flexible schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. While I do have a few regular commitments—including Sunday mornings and a brief Monday volunteer shift—I am typically available throughout the week and make every effort to ensure pets in my care are not left alone for extended periods. I’m happy to coordinate around your schedule and your pet’s routine to provide consistent, reliable care. While I do not currently offer pet care in my own home, I’m happy to care for your pet in their familiar environment, whether through overnight stays, drop-in visits, or walks. I believe pets are most comfortable—and least stressed—when they can stay on their regular routine, surrounded by the people, smells, and spaces they know best. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I follow any care instructions carefully, keep open communication, and treat your home with respect and discretion. Whether it’s a quick visit or a multi-day stay, I aim to create a calm, reliable presence your pet can trust.
