Pet care experience
I have in-total 5 Yorkshire Terriers back in my country since I was 7 years old. (I grew up with them and slept with them). I took care of them (bath, groom, feed, medication administration, walk, play) I was the handler when they went to dog show, I trained them by myself since they were a puppy. I have experience in grooming (advanced for Yorkshire terrier), walking the dog (small and medium dog particularly), training (basic commands), and taking care of senior or sick dogs, Since I moved to Canada, I have been taking care of my friends' dogs and cats whenever they need a sitter. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have experience caring for kittens, cats and senior cats. My passion for animals has led me to volunteer for pet-related jobs. I volunteered at WHS to take care of the cats there. If there had been a position for caring for dogs, I would have taken it in a heartbeat since I have more experience with dogs. However, there were no available positions so it was unfortunate but the opportunity helped me to showcase my skills in interacting with cats. It is very easy for me to get along with animals whether it be dogs or cats, I love to interact with all of them.
Reviews
Christelaine (Elaine) is an avid animal-lover who is able to competently provide care for animals (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, etc.) - especially dogs - as evidenced in the years of experience that she had under her belt & compliments that I've often heard about her handling of the animals from many people that have asked for her help. I've personally seen her innate passion in various animals ever since she was a kid, and in turn the animals' love toward her as well. I can assure that the pets that she will take care will quickly get along with her, and she is also a very responsible person who regularly gave us updates about our pets through photos and videos of them playing together. She is also capable to teach the pets to perform tricks through regular trainings. In summary, I and my family definitely recommends Elaine, as she is a great pet caregiver!
She is the only person my cat and dog love from the first meeting (they are very shy and afraid of strangers since they have past trauma with previous owner). She went above and beyond. She brought my cat to the vet when I was away, and stayed with him for the whole 3 days, despite of her busy university schedule. She always updated me with their pictures and videos. When she left, both my furry friends were so sad (my dog howled for 15 mins). She would always be my 1st person whenever I need help with my furry friends :)
Christelaine is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our three kitties! She is very warm, patient, caring and friendly and was great with our cats! When I came home after our weekend away our cats were relaxed and happy. During our time away Christelaine sent us lots of photos of our kitties having fun which I really appreciate, she answered promptly whenever I asked about my cats. 🙂 I always ask for Christelaine whenever I need help to take care my kitties! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!
Elaine has helped take care of our cat, our dog, and our bird on multiple occasions. She is great with all types of animals, and especially adores dogs (they adore her too!). Biggest animal lover I know!
