“I have known Eleanna for 16 years and in that time I observed her dedicated and loving care of animals, specifically, the 3 cats and 1 dog (all rescues) that she provided home, shelter and love for the entirety of their respective lives. She also cared for my own dog on numerous occasions, including staying at my home for 2 weeks. As a very reliable responsible person I trust her implicitly; she possesses a calm, caring and patient demeanor. My dog adored her. I would recommend her as an animal caregiver without hesitation. Claudia Simone”

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I treat them as part of my family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, resting, or giving them attention, and I want your pet to feel loved at all times. I am currently available to care for your pets at any time, whether it’s during the day, night, or weekends. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I know that the most important thing is pet care, and one of those is their feeding. I can provide food at any necessary time, in case they have a specific feeding schedule, and I can do it without any problem. I will also dedicate enough time for play or bathroom breaks.


20. Laura O.
“Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
