Safety, trust & environment
I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. In past experiences watching friends' animals, following each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications has helped them feel secure and well cared for. I give shy or anxious pets plenty of space and patience, avoiding overwhelm and encouraging a calm and confidence in their space. Despite how well we try to prepare ourselves, I know leaving your furry friends in the care of relative strangers can be an emotionally taxing experience. That's why I really enjoy keeping pet parents updated with notes and pictures about walks, play, meals, and behavior, so they can relax knowing their pets are happy and loved. I also enjoy taking dogs on long walks around neighborhoods, local parks, or even along the river, fitting into whatever their routine is or you as the owner would like it to be, of course. My own dogs and I have been working through their reactivity training with a clicker and training treats. I'm no expert, but they have come a long way since we started! If you have a reactive dog, rest easy knowing this isn't new to me and that I'm willing to work with them and follow your lead on whatever it is they need in those moments. Regardless of their background, every pet in my care gets patience, love, and a reassuring presence <3
Information Elaina H. would like to know about your pet
I find I'm able to provide the best care when given details on your pet's day-to-day life, their temperament, and any specialty-care needs. What do they like to do for fun? How are they with new people? If walking, how are they on a leash? What's the usual length of walks for you? Do they need any medicines? Are there any silly quirks or tricks you have to do/usually do when feeding them or greeting them that would make them feel comfy? All of the above are the sorts of questions I'd expect to go over when having the privilege of meeting your furry friend! Hope to hear from you soon.
A typical day
I really enjoy keeping pets physically and mentally stimulated, at whatever level is the "norm" for them. This could include fetch (slimy tennis balls and all), a light jog, long walks, tug-of-war, or simply just belly rubs/sitting together.

Pet care experience
I'm a lifelong dog and cat lover, and I’ve cared for pets from their youngest, most rambunctious years to wise seniors needing slower days. One of my own dogs started out extremely anxious, so I’m also experienced with shy or nervous pets who need calm, gentle care, and maybe a few treats to help the process along ;) I'm also up to raise my heartrate a little jogging, going on long walks, or playing tug-of-war with younger bubs who want a bit more excitement. What I Can Do for Your Pets: - Handle larger/stronger pups (my own are both pitties with lots of energy that I walk on a dual-lead leash) - Administer meds & monitor health - Long walks, playtime, and enrichment fun - Puppy, kitten, and senior care - Multi-pet household management - Work through reactivity & behavior support - Build trust and confidence in nervous pets I’d love to give your pets the same patient, loving care I give my own! Hope to hear from you soon :)
