Pet care experience

Retired teacher - Home full time.

Hi, I live near Alston Park in Napa. I’m a retired teacher from Yountville Elementary School (I taught there for twenty-two years) and a couple other schools. This summer ‘06, I'm mostly looking to do dog/house sits in the Napa area (I'm currently not taking Sonoma jobs). I'm also doing day visits and walks for dogs. I also have many cat clients. I have a seven year old golden retriever named Ollie, and he loves coming over for puppy play and socialization if you'd like that (he doesn't come with me on overnights). Besides my part-time pet care business, I’m a member of Napa Search and Rescue Team (which means I've had a through background check by the Napa Sheriffs' office in addition to the Rover check. It would be a pleasure to meet you and your dog/cat for a meet and greet in the future. Sincerely, Carl Elias

Carl was great! He was able to help me with a last minute walk. He was very communicative, showed up exactly when he said he would, and took really good care of my two babies. I’ll be using him again!

Carl is often available on short notice, which is incredibly helpful when my job has last minute needs. Fiero always looks like he’s having a fun time on their walks together!
