Pet care experience
Reliable. Thoughtful. Experienced.
🤍 Maternity Leave Update 🤍 I’m currently taking maternity leave as we welcome our little one and will be unavailable for new bookings through January. While I’m away, my husband Shane will be available for select pet-care bookings. He has his own Rover profile (https://www.rover.com/promos/shanem/) and is happy to help care for your pups/kitties while I’m on leave! 🐾 Thank you so much for your continued support and understanding during this exciting time. ~ Hi, I’m Elaina! With a lifelong love for animals and over fifteen years of experience caring for pets, and a special love for senior dogs - I’m passionate about providing the best care possible. As someone with a corporate background who traveled frequently, I understand how difficult it can be to find someone truly reliable to care for your pets. That experience inspired me to start a dog walking and pet care service grounded in trust, consistency, and genuine attention. I know how important it is to have someone who treats your pet like family - someone who shows up on time, follows instructions, and makes your pet feel comfortable in your absence. Whether you’re at work, away on business, need an extra hand, or taking a well-earned break, I’m here to make sure your pet gets the love and care they deserve that I once searched for myself. You’ll get photo updates, peace of mind, and the comfort of knowing your pet is in caring hands.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I familiarize myself with their feeding schedules, exercise habits, and any specific care instructions you may have. I aim to maintain a stress-free environment for your pet by following the same level of attention and affection they are used to in their own space. I am respectful of your home, ensuring it stays tidy and organized while I provide excellent care for your pets.

Youre the best. Thank you😊
Always takes great care pf our kitty💕
Love her attentiveness to my kitty. Really took good care💕
This is the first time I used Rover, and I am so happy to have found Elaina!! She was so great with her communication and updates on my cats she even saw my stray cat and managed to get a video of him for me as well as twice daily video and or pictures of my cats. Elaina was so reliable, which made my trip so much better as I wasn’t worried about how my cats were doing, I just knew they were in good hands with her. I will defiantly use her again, and recommend you give her a try. Elaina was really great!
Another great visit! Thanks for going above and beyond per usual 🤗
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine, even with a full-time day job. Monday through Friday, I’m available for walks and check-ins before 7 a.m. and after 5 p.m., and I make it a priority to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. On weekends, I’m an open book with much more flexibility for visits and extended care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every visit with the same care and commitment as if they were my own. Eventually, I’d love to create a more flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets more frequently while still managing my day job - it’s a passion I’m excited to continue growing.

- It’s essential for me to know key details about your pet before I begin caring for them. This includes: - **Daily routine**: Feeding schedules, exercise needs, and sleeping habits. - **Health information**: Any medical conditions, medications, or allergies. - **Behavioral tendencies**: How they react to new people, other animals, or certain situations (e.g., anxiety, aggression, or separation issues). - **Likes and dislikes**: Favorite toys, activities, and any things that might stress them out (such as loud noises or unfamiliar environments). - **Training and rules**: Are they trained to follow commands, and what house rules should be maintained (e.g., not allowed on furniture or specific rooms)? - **Emergency contacts**: Your preferred vet or an emergency contact, just in case. Knowing these details helps me provide the best care possible and ensures your pet’s comfort and safety while you’re away.
