6 years of veterinary experience
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Elaine and I worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years. I currently work from home as a therapist, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have extensive experience in caring for pets with a variety of behavioral and medical problems, as well as pets that just require standard top-notch care. I will update you via text and photos as often as you like, and make sure your dog feels as pampered as possible while you're away! I have experience with: dog and cat CPR and first aid, injectable medications (including fluids and insulin), oral medications (pills and liquids, including chemotherapy drugs), inhalers for asthmatic dogs, blind and deaf dogs, limited mobility dogs (including dogs who need bladder expression), and much more. If you have a special needs dog who will need medical care while you're away, please just ask - I will give you an honest and detailed explanation of my experience and skill set as it pertains to your dog's needs. Whether your dog requires special medical help or not, you can rest assured that your dog will be in good hands with me - and will have a great time.
Reviews
Perfect as always!
Elaine was amazing with our 2 cats, one of which needed to get a pill twice a day! My first time using a pet sitter and I found one that made me feel comfortable and exceeded my expectations. I would give Elaine more than five stars if possible and plan to use her again
Elaine was awesome! She paid attention and took care of our babies! She made sure to keep our German shepherd as much on his routine as possible while we were gone. He has a fairly structured schedule lol, to try and keep him exercised and mentally worn down ?. Definitely recommend and will be rebooking when we need a dog sitter in the future!
Elaine took great care of Nile’s while I was gone. She sent photos and kept me up to date on him. She is a caring person who obviously loves and is knowledgeable about caring for pets.
About Elaine A.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am flexible and happy to follow your pets’ usual routine. Please let me know if there are any possible safety concerns based on your pet’s behavior - for example, how they do with other dogs/cats/kids/strangers. Happy to accommodate any of these needs, but just need a heads up!
Information Elaine A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how your dog feels about other dogs! Your dog's safety is extremely important to me and I want to make sure that we take appropriate precautions (crossing the street, changing directions, etc) on our adventures if necessary. Regardless of how your pup feels about other animals, I will NEVER walk your dog with another client's dog, my own dog, or any other pet unless it is your own other dog and you give me express permission to do so. Please also let me know your personal vet's info, an emergency contact for you, and any medical issues I should be aware of. I am comfortable with all breeds, ages, and activity levels.
A typical day
This depends on the dog! I love exploring the different parks and hiking trails in the area - if you have an active pup that likes adventure, I am more than happy to bring them along with me. If you have an older dog that prefers a walk to go potty followed by belly rubs on the couch, I'm more than happy to provide that as well.
Services
Elaine can watch in your home
Availability
I telework full time, so I am able to be with your pet pretty much all day. I can do potty breaks and walks as often as needed.
