Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my number one concern. Let's review all of your pet's special needs and requirements together and develop a plan that works best for them and for you. I have many strong local personal references I can provide. For walks, I invite you to track my location (through my mobile phone) so you know where your pet is at all times. If you are looking for a pet-sitter at your home, my references will assure you that I will treat your home with care and respect — and your pets with loving attention. For overnight sits, I bring my own inflatable mattress and linens so yours remain untouched.
Information Efraim W. would like to know about your pet
I have a lot of experience caring for pets with special needs. During our free Meet & Great, let's review all your pet's special care requirements, nutritional guidelines, emergency contacts, play preferences and most comforting routines.
A typical day
I mix fun walks (with lots of verbal communications) with visits to local dog parks, including Paso Nogal and Heather Farm. If we're staying inside, we'll play with their favorite toys. I also have a collection of balls, frisbees, puzzles with hidden treats, and grooming tools that I can bring with me.

Reviews
Efraim was a patient, dependable, and caring sitter. I had a great experience working with him — he stayed with my two dogs in my home for almost a week — and I would absolutely use him again. Both of my dogs are slow to warm up and need someone willing to go at their pace to build trust. Efraim was great with this and very patient, allowing them to come around on their own time. Efraim maintained clear and consistent communication throughout the time I was away, followed all instructions carefully, and was especially attentive to one of my dogs, who had recently been injured. It was such a relief to get regular updates and know they were in good hands. I also really appreciated coming home to a clean and tidy house. Overall, Efraim was reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.
Ephraim did a terrific job of taking care of our dog. From the pictures and video that you sent, our pup really enjoyed being with Efraim. We highly recommend him.
Leaving our dogs at home is always the hardest part of traveling, and we naturally worry about them. We’re so glad we found Efraim and the dogs absolutely love him! He did a wonderful job taking care of them while we were away. He was also very patient with our senior dog, who can be quite picky and slow with food, which we truly appreciated. We loved the updates he sent, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Efraim! We truly appreciate the care you gave our dogs and will definitely book with him again in the future.
I had to leave town suddenly and was able to book Efraim to walk my dog to fill a gap between two dog sitters. He sent me a picture and I could tell my dog was very happy. Thank you x100!
